+arcadeshopper Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm highly suprised that MBX STILL hasn't got any bids. Especially considering it has Championship Baseball with the overlay. Although it is a bit overpriced. and doesn't include the power supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Note, there is a power supply in the box. I don't think the seller knows where to plug it in. . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitkraft Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Not to mention the power cord he thinks goes with it! Seriously though, check out his other items, what a random assortment of crap! How many times can you buy from the same seller a 99/4A, bicycle parts, Women's shoes, a Harry Potter wand, "oops I crapped my pants" and whatever the hell this is: << HERE >> Is an eBay auction for a TI-99/4A console from a guy who has absolutely NO CLUE as to what he is selling.

Opry99er Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 ^^ Is this a helmet microphone for an AF or helicopter pilot? Or some weird torture device? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Ksarul Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The nostril drills tell all--it is definitely a torture device that transmits the victim's screams to the listening audience outside of the cage where the victim is strapped in to experience their demise. . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digdugnate Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 ok, since i'm a young'un i had to look this device up. https://www.pa3esy.nl/military/us/hmk/T45/html/T45_set-gb.html "The T-45 microphone can be used with most war time American radios such as the BC-1000, BC-1306, GRC-9. The microphone is normally used along with the HS-30 headset and SW-141 PTT switch. The T-45 microphone is a carbon type Noise Canceling microphone designed for operation on a nominal current of 50 miliamps. The resistance of the unit is between 50 and 125 Ohms at 1000 cycles per second. Frequency response is substantially flat from 200 to 4000 cycles per second. The microphone is worn close to the operator’s mouth and responds to his voice. However sounds originating farther away, such as background noise or battle noise, are cancelled in the microphone because of its differential type of construction."

Ed in SoDak Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Who knew? (Not I) TI made a laptop! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Texas-Instruments-TravelMate-4000-M-Color-Laptop-PN-9792531-0001-50MHz/382661634770?hash=item5918692ad2:g:F7gAAOSwpLdcCooX It has some sort of full-featured docking station. I can't say for sure but looks like 5" & 3.5" floppies plus CD tray and the usual slew of ports. It would be cool to emulate the '99 on this baby! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I used to have a 4000E, I think it was. Had a trackball that clipped on the side. It died years ago. I still have an LT 286. Though the hard disk crashed when I booted it last. Less fun than a 486 even when it is working. But it looks cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look through his other listings, he's also selling Pac Man and Jungle Hunt on disk. Does that sound legit? Not to me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did get my ticket, I went in as a "Codeless tech". I never had any need or interest in CW. My favorite mode was digital, specifically Packet Radio. It was kind of fun working the ISS and hopping the HF gateways. Sadly, the Internet ruined the hobby, just like it did with the phone based bulletin boards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digdugnate Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I think it's a miskey, tbh- it's probably intended to be $2.50- but who knows, he may get someone not paying attention. Buddybear99 pretty much deals in only copies of diskettes and cassette tapes. You'll note his other auctions that are carts usually have copies of manuals.
