I may be interested in an 800 Mitsumi, depending on cost.

Yeah, quoting myself again... One more question: What's the cost of 1200 mylars? Are yours less expensive than those from Best Electronics?

A1200 mylars are available on the market, f.e. on SellMyRetro. So, for now I am not going to produce them. Demand for 400 and 800 is too low for now, so I will produce 1200XL and Atari XE spring type first.

sell my retro, seems to put their stuff on ebay too, or is it own site and it's up to the individual person to list?

I don't see any of your goods on sell my retro... should we be looking to your own web site?

I do not sell on SellMyRetro. Only ebay and direct orders. Shop on my website will be open soon. If you need anything from my offer, please send mail or PM.

it's very possible people do not know,

one of the problems is how much shipping is on these offerings, they could easily ship in a flexible envelope for far less dollar and wouldn't suffer any harm. I do get slightly confused when other computers are listed for 18.57 or 19.99, sometimes 29.57 for this or that key cover or mylar, but the Atari is coming in at 30.57 to 35.99. Although to be fair, many have 'Best Offer' buttons.

Yes, it is possible that people do not know about it. Anyway, I am making progress with them. Production costs hundreds of dollars for each model. That's why I am confused - to make them or not.

There should be plenty of demand for the original 800 mylars once the word gets out. There is NO current source for them as far as I know. The 1200 mylars are available from Best.

They are dual layer mylars, but with a small modification can replace a single-layer. All you need is a 62 pcs. set screw M3x5mm DIN913 for a dollar.

Several people already use such modified keyboards.

I prefer the single layer keyboard with the lighter touch variant being my favorite 130XE keyboard.
