WTB: Vintage Computing Items and Gaming

[TPA5]

Update February 18, 2014

 

Note: I am located in Canada, so if you're outside Canada generally shipping anything bigger than games and such costs an arm and a leg.

 

Items in bold are ones I'm actively seeking.

Game Port Joystick

 

I have a Tandy flight joystick, its a two button with rudder and whatever the side sliders does to wings, hardly ever use it, 1 owner tall with a heavy base, holler if interested, its mostly a dust catcher cause all my vintage pc's are laptops, including my dos machine which has a pcmcia usb card and no game port heh

 

also have a CHEAP tandy hand held joystick, works with apple II and PC, 2 buttons, crappy sliders on plastic for pots, already glued one down, seems to work fine for now, you can have that for postage (though I am in the states)

Thanks for the reply! Could I see a picture of the Tandy Flightstick? I can't seem to dig much info up about it on Google.

[TPA5]

Bumpity up.

I actually have three Atari 410s, but none of them are functional. If you're handy with electronics though and think you might be able to salvage them, I'd let you have them for the cost of shipping.

[RickR]

I've got 3.5" floppies, gameport gamepads and gameport joysticks, but shipping to Canada from USA is pretty costly. PM me if you'd like more info. Thanks.

[Osgeld]

sorry I just remembered you asked for a pic, Ill get you one tomorrow, I dont know much about it other than it was bought at radio shack in a package deal with some fighter jet sim by my parents

 

the sim sucked and its a flight stick so...

[AtariLeaf]

[Osgeld]

Thanks for the heads up! Sadly I'm in Manitoba, so I wouldn't be able to get my hands on it. And it has the serial interface too. Oh well.

Sorry about that. I can't remember if you told me you had family in the area or not. If so could they act as an intermediary on this?

No worries, I appreciate the heads up! I do have family in the area but I don't have much of a relationship with them, so that's a no-go. Every now and again they crop up on eBay, but often for far too much.

Seller wants $100. I was curious enough that I had to ask
