What's a flip cart holder? 12 hours ago, bob1200xl said: Yep - great idea to make a list. Wayyy too many things in my Barn to do that. I had the pleasure to buy some spare parts and some Atari items I always longed to have (like an 850) from Bob a couple of years ago. It was a bit like hitting on a very well stocked 80's computer store caught in a time warp. I asked "would you have this or that" and many times the answer was "would you like this or that variety".... thanks Bob! Still trying to suppress the temptation to ask again.....

adam1977 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I don't suppose you have a keyboard for an 800 do you? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 I'm pretty sure I have a broken 800 k/b, but I don't know how many good ones I might have. I think there are a few different versions - are they interchangeable? Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bob1200xl Posted April 12, 2020 Author Share Posted April 12, 2020 slx: Look at the picture at the early part of this thread. There is a MediaMate floppy disk holder and a Flip-n-File cartridge holder. Holds 10 carts. Why would you suppress anything? This stuff just sits in a box in my Barn.

Bob That's ok, I have a black one also. Would you have a spare 1200XL LED Cable (the one from the motherboard to Keyboard / top case) ?

+mytek Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This time on a serious note... Bob can you set aside one flip cart case for me, assuming you still have any left? I love the one I got from you a few years back but it's full and I have a couple of extra carts that need a home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 810 for parts is doable, tested and working is hard. Bob I'm not really bothered which keyboard, they are all interchangeable. I'm in the UK so that may change your mind.

+bob1200xl Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Sending things to Europe (or UK) is no problem. It's just very expensive. You will have to pay shipping. (everybody getting things has to pay shipping and packing costs). You want a working 810, an 800 top cover and an 800XL k/b? Limit is two... pick two.

+bob1200xl Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 ** to all:** Unless we are talking trivial things like 50 DSDD blank diskettes, I am going to limit almost everyone to two items. The idea is that each item takes time to find, test and pack. I will make exceptions to our friends across the Pond because of the ghastly costs in shipping. Mimo is looking for three items. If I can find them quickly and test them, I'll send him three items. Otherwise, two is his limit. OK? Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevymad Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I'm also interested in a trackball. Just a working one to play games with. I'm not a collector. Sending you an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limit is two... pick two I wasn't being greedy, I wasn't expecting anything tbh. Xl keyboard is top of the list and then either of the other two would be the cherry on top. I'll leave it to you to decide. Thank you so much for your generosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
