DNA128k Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) All set for now! My For Sale / Trade thread is here if you see anything you'd like, and I'm of course happy to discuss cash deals if not. Thanks for looking!

NISMOPC Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I have three CIB (matching serial #'s, manuals, PSU, RF switch, etc.). I'd be willing to get rid of one of them. Let me look thru them and get back to you. EDIT: Sorry, actually I have 3 800XL's. Wasn't paying attention when I responded. If still interested, let me know.

If still interested, let me know. No worries at all! I actually have an 800XL I'm very happy with, I'm interested in the smaller size of the 600XL for my desk.

NISMOPC Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 It's all good. I need to pull them out of closet to test them all anyhow. Took a quick look. Actually have 3 boxed and 2 unboxed 800XLs. Lots of testing to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No change. Need to diagnose more. 1 has bad keyboard mylar on several keys. Not entire rows, so I am putting my assumptions on the mylar. 1 is my original unit in box from when I was a teen and I am keeping it. still getting around to the other 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Cade Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I know you asked about XE's, but mentioned you wouldn't mind 600XL's. I have a couple that are basically new in the box (well one in the original styro, but the box is gone, and the other has both). I haven't tried them but they look still wrapped in plastic and unused. I can test them this weekend if I have some time and you're interested. Here's one: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kvbbQbkZDhsxmfRo6 Edited April 13, 2022 by R.Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, I think I traded you a modded 600XL for a 65XE a couple of years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely have had a circuitous Atari problem — I'm trying to get things back in order and keep it that way this time! ? I'm working on a better storage solution rather than cycling things in and out. Edited April 13, 2022 by DNA128k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA128k Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Thanks everyone! Looks like I've got a 130XE lined up outside the forum, but I'm always happy to entertain trades for Atari machines if anything in my FS/FT thread catches your eye!

Osgeld Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 if that doesnt work out I have one on the back burner, it works but the reset switch is almost impossible to use, so I am putting a tactile switch in its place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 been on a ton of projects while "on vacation" but this one is still a bit on the back burner as far as the new request I have a couple sets of paddles, both are in decent cosmetic condition other than age grime and garage dust, I forget which pair works better but one set has a number of sticky spots the other is smoother but not great, maybe could get them working with some contact cleaner and q-tips, least for a little while, which is why I don't like selling paddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) IMO if you can solder a wire its better off running to your favorite online electronics supply house and ordering new pots, I actually yanked one apart real quick to take some measurements, maybe by next weekend I can show a list of compatible model pot's (its not like they are difficult to source, but to find ones that work as drop in's, not including soldering 2 wires, might be something to offer along side the 250 tactile no mod drop in CX40 replacement boards I am working on) Edited July 4, 2022 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osgeld Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) its a 1 meg ohm pot and a button in each handle (4 wires each side), electrically its nothing fancy. The harder part is actually making something to put them in, but what do I know you might be a 3d printer wizard, a CNC master, woodcarving god or a metal guru, its a box with a knob and a button ... I made a pretty playable and comfortable Apple II gamepad with a radio shack box and a drill (well and some electrical bits and a file) an eon ago Edited July 6, 2022 by Osgeld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a pretty playable and comfortable Apple II gamepad with a radio shack box and a drill (well and some electrical bits and a file) an eon ago Ha, I'm certainly no guru... I was thinking about the project box route. That said, without a local place like Radio Shack to buy bits and bobs anymore, it will cost me more than buying a set of paddles to build one. Probably will end up buying a set somewhere and replacing the pots if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 yea ever since radio shack left I have been much more imaginative, for the size of the things could bodge them in a Altoids or similar mint tin... then I replaced my 3d printer (sold my first one years ago) mainly just for stupid project boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
