Bloodcat Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I am doing a lot of collecting for general retro radness. Some of my recent Atari pickups with friends: Sadly Autoduel's character disk is buggered up and doesn't work. It may have been my fault too.

+wood_jl Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 It arrived 2 hours ago The RF cable was tucked inside the case and it's a GTIA version with the old thumb levers to open the shield/hatch. All keys work, but no carts or Bit-3 card inside... It does have the OS & Ram cards encased. So, yes, it is a SCORE Oh, it would have been a lottery win, if a Bit-3! Happy to hear it was a score! Love me some ol' beige Atari computers. I use XL/XE mostly, but the beige models are definitely the best eye candy to me. I don't have the skills to install Incognito, but I have it. Are you planning on such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use XL/XE mostly, but the beige models are definitely the best eye candy to me. I don't have the skills to install Incognito, but I have it. Are you planning on such? Eye candy definately Not sure if I'll install my 2nd Incognito in this latest 800 or in my original 800 that I bought in 1981. They are both the same, I love those because they have the white stack-pole plungers instead of the more brittle yellow counterparts Hopefully that seller will list a few more next week... I found that installing Incognito was just as easy as the U1MB's by Candle On a different note: Today I picked a buch of stuff from a local CL ad; 2 - 520 ST's 1 - 1040 ST 2 - SF314 floppy drives 2 - ST Monitors 2 - Apple ][ e's 3 - Apple ][ drives 2 - Mac 2 ci's 2 - Power Mac G3's 4 - Mac Monitors 3 - Amiga 1000's, 1 boxed 1 - C= 128 1 - 1702 Monitor 2 - 1840 Monitors 2 - 1540 drives 1 - 1751 drive All for $40, now to test and see what works...

+sm3 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Wow that is great find! I have 3 Incognito's on the way and to be honest, may never install them. My 800 is pristine and I'd hate to mess it up by shoddy (my own lack of solder skill) workmanship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariGeezer Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Say what? Please explain! The yellow ones like this But White instead, they seem to be a bit thicker.

Bryan Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The yellow ones like this But White instead, they seem to be a bit thicker. I think the white ones are in the HiTek version of the keyboard.

Ransom Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 eBay Auction -- Item Number: 271200375357 3 800's at 24.99 each including shipping Get yours now, like I did Mine came last week, while I was at Interop. It's in generally good condition. A littlle darkening of the case, but it is even on top and bottom so it's probably just from age and not sunlight. A couple of the posts the screws go into on the cartridge door cover are broken, but repairable with a little epoxy. The metal on the cartridge door is loose, but a bit of sticky back foam tape should fix that. The system powers up fine. The spacebar only works sometimes, but it may be fixable. Haven't tested the SIO or controller ports yet. Overall, a good deal for $24.99 shipped. So thank you for pointing it out! What condition is yours in?

Excellent shape now, it too had the loose metal on the cartridge door, but fixed with a few dabs of silicone adhesive. I took mine all apart and washed the case in warm soapy water and it brightened up a bit. Space bar was sticky, but after cleaning it up, it's working great now Glad to hear someone else here got a cool deal too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The seller is trying to state this is a original cart. The label looks reproduced. It's a mess. I have this cart, seen a dozen, and there are two on eBay right now. All have clean text.
