Dinadan67 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 From Ebay Italy: the same 10" Panasonic TX-G10 CRT TV @Beeblebrox bought a while ago. This TV supports both PAL and NTSC and it accepts RGB via SCART so i can connect my VBXE equipped XEGS. It even got a built-in handle, which makes it the perfect match for my 576+NUC for visiting conventions or club meetings. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) @Dinadan67 Ah welcome to the club!! I highly recommend you use the S-video in at the front also. Great lil TV - I use it almost daily and now - thanks to my Extron S-video distributer amplifier unit - I have this and my LCD flatron permanently hooked up to any one of my XL/XE's. No need to be continually unplugging/plugging the S-video cable from either TV when I want to use either display. Plus I can use both at once too, (not that I really need to for gaming, but to view Rasta converter images on both is very helpful). It's compact footprint is very handy when space is tight and it's great to play some games where the smaller pixels makes it look so much better, (plus it's a CRT too - bonus): (Excuse the mess - lots on my desk and been soldering a lot of late The Extron has since been relocated to sit under the Panasonic CRT TV itself - which works perfectly) Edit: Case in point: Globe's 128k 3D raycasting engine demo looks great on the small screen: ProjectM looks amazing on this sized screen (I' can't locate the image I took unfortunately). Raster converter images: Dr Peter's excellent Leopard he recently posted on the Rastaconverter pages: One of my recent Rastaconverter images (which I plan to post up in a little while this evening): Edited April 21, 2022 by Beeblebrox 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 A Bit3 card, but the sale was cancelled, allegedly because I wanted it mailed to a remailing service to get it over the pond. Still find that strange as lots of other sellers had no problem mailing to such services. The seller indicated that we could complete the sale via AtariAge but so far hasn't replied further. https://www.ebay.de/itm/224922320180 Still a bit disappointed.

+slx Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 A complete boxed copy of Coconotes with the „floppy single“ audio instructions. I wonder if the green foam is original. If it is it lasted longer than the outside of the box. I don‘t usually hunt for boxed 8-bit software but my daughter likes that game and it was a rather cheap BIN so I couldn’t resist. There‘s also a great interview with one of the developers on the ANTIC podcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueyjones70 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I bought a non-working 800XL MB with a RAMBO 256K memory upgrade. Five of the eight MT DRAMS were bad and the ANTIC was bad. Now everything works. I also bought a keyboard and a case. I haven't tested the KB but the case is in good shape. Total cost was $93.56. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymanone Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 My last purchase on Ebay, was a sad, sick old patient, who deserves some love and care.... He came from a flea market dealer and my offer of 60USD was accepted ?. Now I'm waiting for his arrival and then I will immediately get to work, to cure the patient again ??.... Fortunately, it makes a very good impression from the case without defects or damage.... Cheers, andY 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Carter Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Copies of Jinxter, and Time and Magik. Been looking for both for ages and they both popped up from the same seller, in good (hopefully) condition. Looking forward to their arrival, especially Jinxter as that rarely shows up on UK eBay Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Carter Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 And then a amazing quality condition copy of Infiltrator. Jinxter and T&M (from the same seller) were also in great working condition. Just Knight Orc to find and I've got all the blue box Rainbird games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the green foam is original, my box also includes it - but ermm, my box is with the tape version and the single (not sure if it is vinyl, if so, it is extremely thin vinyl).

I also bought mine to put the TV into standby... Only it didn't seem to work. Still, totally worth it to remove osd. FYI check out RastaConverter thread and my latest post with a slideshow I've just created yesterday. Pics look amazing on this lil crt (if I do say so myself!!) ??

I installed a TV remote app on an older phone that had an IR port on it to control the old Panasonic LCD TV that I use on my Atari (found TV out on the curb on the way to work one day - that's actually what inspired me to dig out all of my 8-bit stuff after nearly 30 years!). I had to try a few different apps until I found one that worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, it’s indeed a single made from a plastic foil much thinner than a normal vinyl single, maybe even thinner and floppier than floppy disc magnetic media. Records like that were used as pack-ins for magazines, etc. even long before the home computer age. I remember one in my mother’s collection. It’s interesting that you have a tape version. Atari only lists a cartridge version, so you might want to send them a scan. The box doesn’t indicate the type of medium at all, actually not even the computer system. Maybe there was a sticker (on shrink-wrap)? Anyone with a sealed copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also see the tape inside, the single is hiding in the manual, so thats why you don't see it here. But as said before, it also contains the green foam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
