+orpheuswaking Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Sprung a leak in my basement, luckily it only took out a box containing mostly blank disks. However I did have a few original disks inside that I am trying to replace (originals wanted) Complete set of INDUS GT disks DOS 2.0 (Atari 810/1050 master diskette II) CX8104 Master Diskette 3 DX5052 XLENT Software - Page Designer And yes I am aware DOS 3 is a pig, I just want a copy in my collection.

Fres Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Sorry to hear about it, Orph. Could have been a LOT worse. I've had water issues from time to time in my basement, but I don't think I've lost anything very valuable yet. Don't think I have any of the titles you listed, but I might have some blanks.

+orpheuswaking Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 It was actually the hot water hose from the water heater, sprang a leak and sprayed upward so the water came back down on the plastic drawers I have the disks in. I'm just glad that it was my overflow drawer and the main one was far enough away. I've since moved them and I am also covering them with contractor grade plastic bags.

ryanmercer Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Are you sure it was the hot water heater and not that storm late Monday night early Tuesday morning? Neighbors oak came down on their house, our house and our yard. Only took out some gutter of ours though thankfully. Or the crazy rain Friday evening? Heh. I'm so happy it hasn't been raining these past few days. Edited July 22, 2015 by ryanmercer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Well water was spraying upward from the split hose on top of the tank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I just had a hose bust on my washing machine a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I was home and caught it after, I'm guessing 10-15 minutes. The washing machine is ground level, but I keep most of my systems in the basement/den. Well, water was starting to pour through the air ducts down in the basement. Had a small waterfall going... somehow luckily right above our cat's litter box. While I was busy putting towels on everything, trying to catch all the water... I see my wife unhooking my 800XL. She tells me not to flip out. My eyes got huge! And she said there was a small amount of water on it, but it was saved by the vinyl dust cover! Woohoo! I owe thanks to Brad at Best for that. Somehow, nothing got damaged, other than some printed manuals for my Atarimax stuff. Quite amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
