Clean Working Black/Silver TI-99/4A

Recommended Posts

I just got a setup where I can hook up my PC and TI on the same TV set and am looking for a clean/working TI-99/4A black/silver console. I would like to find a until in as pristine condition as possible. I had a beige unit that seems to not work anymore, and a black/silver unit would match the TV/PC. Thanks for any help!

The one in this auction looks to be in excellent condition and is reported to work. If interested, you could make an offer:

Heh. I clued the seller onto the caps lock. She sent a nice thank you message. Did the price go up? I think so, but wasn't paying much attention to the original listing and price. I see she changed the description to all working. More power to her if she sells it.

 

Meanwhile, she also has a clean-looking and tested console-only, no PS or cables for ~ $60 and free shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Texas-Instruments-TI-99-4a-Home-Computer-System-CONSOLE-ONLY-Tested-Works/264066709786

 

There's something to be said for clean tested working versus the typical used "as-is."

 

Toucan, I'd guess you still have the power supply and misc. cables from your beige console?

I'ts nice to see one listed as working with a 30 day warranty, but before you plug anything into the side port, be sure check the contacts. I really cannot tell from the photo, if it's dirt, rust or just bad lighting, but I would give it some attention.
