TI Related -- Ebay / Heads Up Notice

Recommended Posts

Doesn't show up in the completed or sold items. I'm guessing the seller got wind of the actual value and set it as "out of stock" while he figures out a new asking price.

This would be a nice addition for a collector. Price seems steep, but then again I do not know how hard these are to find:

 

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Texas-Instruments-Home-Computer-Telephone-Coupler-Modem-PHP1600-for-TI-99-4A/332864025298?hash=item4d803df2d2:g:r24AAOSw-HRb3Hr4:sc:USPSPriority!43015!US!-1

 

The TI acoustic phone coupler looks great at public events. I park it next to the 99/4 display. Now that I have an RS232 sidecar, it's usable with TE2. It can connect "over the air" to another acoustic modem.

 

What I don't have is an actual phone handset to show, which is almost as unknown to kids now.

This would look good setting by it!

That would look so freaking cool! I can't see one of those couplers without thinking of War Games. It's probably the only reason I'd like to have one.

Those Geneve games are the Tomy Tutor ports done by Barry Boone. . .I added a number of the Tomy Pyuuta games to the collection a few years ago using the same transfer method he did.

Damn good price, too.

If I had a need for it then I would be all over it like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm.

That sounds like a terrible recipe.
