rietveld Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I have a full ADAM setup (printer, keyboard, console ). I also have a module 3 and keyboard, but no printer Saw an ad on the local buy and sell advertising a complete ADAM setup for $400 . It has been listed since August. On a whim I asked if the seller would just sell the printer. To my surprise he said sure. He said he didn't think anyone would want a clunky old printer anyway . Got the working printer for $35 USD. Guy said who ever buys the computer won't want an older printer that uses ribbons anyway This guy was definitely not Colecovision guy Anyway, never hurts to ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I would have told him the computer is useless without the printer. You took advantage of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You took advantage of him. I actually did tell him the printer was the power source and that's why I only need that piece. He said he had not had anyone call since the ad was put up in August. He was wiling to part out at this point. I was tempted but he wanted too much for the other stuff. That's why it never hurts to ask.

That's why it never hurts to ask. You can use the adam without the printer, providing you supply a replacement power unit. It doesn't kill the machine to subtract the printer, though the Adam's reputation suggests otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It said 'sell as lot'. I figured after 3 months it either sold (and he never removed the listing) or he didn't have any takers. I messaged back and forth a few times before he agreed that no one was interested in that beast of a power supply / printer. I think he now figures it may be easier to sell parts of it to people who need them. I imagine that the keyboard will be an easy sale for him if he ebays it. The module 3 was in perfect shape. Included also was the colecovision, steering wheel, both sets of controllers, and several games Edited October 21, 2019 by rietveld spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, those tape decks are COOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
