Pondering putting broken 400 and 410 up for sale/trade

[NightSprinter]

Would anyone be interested in what's apparently a non-functional Atari 400 computer and 410 program recorder? I'm thinking of just getting rid of it and acquiring an 800 and see if I can find a working 410 or get a working 1010 instead. I just need to know if there's any interest before I put it up on the marketplace forum.

To sell? I doubt it. I also have a broken 400 nobody wants.

I have a 400 that powers up to blue screen. When I mothballed it ~15 years ago, it worked but had no sound (bad pokey). So I'll take it apart and reseat any socketed chips when I get some time. Have you tried that? My 410 also has some problems. It needs a new belt, and one of the rubber drive-shaft wheels has a flat from having sat in a closet for those same 15 years. So if I used a rubberband in place of the belt, it'll rewind but not advance past the flat. Probably not worth the money needed to fix it

Yup, tried reseating all of the chips. Still just gives me a blank but fuzzy screen.

I'll take your 400 off your hands.
