FastRobPlus Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I used to have a composite NTSC monitor that was XE gray. I mean, it was REALLY the same color as the 130XE. I believe the brand was Thompson (or maybe Thomson). I don't think it was related to RCA Thompson. Either way, it had a great picture. I often wondered why its color matched the XE, but I never found out. It also had an RGB option whihc made it great for SIO2PC setups. It was 12" or 13" which is fine for most XE work. However, nowadays, I prefer a TV with composite input. Wish I had one of those when I was writing papers for school in the early to mid 80s. Oh yeah, the monitor was given to a recycler about 5 yrs ago. Nice guy. Probably still sitting in his den. I have this one now. I'd have to check to get the model number. It's XE white and had a jet black tube. The frint panel has broken off so aesthetically it's not good. I agree it’s really colorful and sends to the lightgun better than the Amiga monitor I was using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I tried to install a Commodore 1084S D2 (A1200/4000 colored version) and it does not fit the SC1435 casing. The board is a little too long. It seems the D1 will work but I need to find another one to hack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board is a little too long. It seems the D1 will work but I need to find another one to hack... Just a follow up. I have sucessfully modded my Atari SC1435 to work with my Atari 130XE and ST computers! I found a Commodore 1084S-P1 monitor at RE-PC in Tukwila, WA (It looks like the 1084S-Dx series and is A500/2000 beige) and I swapped the guts and tube, drilled out a few holes for the extra buttons in the rear TTL/Digital to Analog RGB, etc and the extra RCA's for stereo sound and composite video. It fit together PERFECTLY! Other than a little problem with the 9 pin RGB connector having issues (cold solder joints) it is working great now... I will post some pics soon.

Fres Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Very, very cool. Looks great. If I were you, however, I'd offer $100,000 USD to Metalguy to change the blue Atari name badge to red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have this one now. I'd have to check to get the model number. It's XE white and had a jet black tube. The frint panel has broken off so aesthetically it's not good. I agree it's really colorful and sends to the lightgun better than the Amiga monitor I was using. Do you still have this monitor? I have the front panel for it if you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastRobPlus Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Do you still have this monitor? I have the front panel for it if you want it. Thanks for the offer TJ! I ended up selling off just about all my Atari hardware (A8 and ST) at the Seattle Retro Gaming Expo. All I have now is my Atari 800, 810, and my Amdek monitor. I have Incognito now, so no reason to use an XL or XE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nethermind Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I need to know if anyone has seen the Atari XC1411 Monitor for the 130XE Computer????? If so how can I get one??? It would be the same color as the 130XE computer. I have already found the XC12 tape drive that the same color as the 130XE computer. The tape drive was brand new and never used and works perfect on saving and loading programs. Now doeas anyone have the XF551 disk drive for sale??? I hope that the correct drive for the 130XE computer. I was told it the same color as the Atari 130XE computer. Does anyone have this drive also with the 3.5 floppy built in with the 5.25 floppy??? Well again like I said I am trying to get this computer set up correctly. Email me to if you want to.... Thanks , Sean39 I saw this today. Kinda pricey... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-XC-1411-RARE-PROTOTYPE-composite-monitor-/253050551267?hash=item3aeafcfbe3:g:ltoAAOSwFBRZbS-V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mytek Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) I saw this today.

It would probably be way cheaper to pick up an ST monitor and buy a good quality S-Video to RGB converter. But for historical reasons and obvious rarity I can see someone possibly wanting this for their collection. - Michael Edited July 19, 2017 by mytekcontrols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think that's basically the SM124 case so I doubt it was painted "after market", so to speak, but the lack of s-video is a show-stopper (aside from the fact it has a fault and the nature of the fault isn't even shown in the photographs). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears to be the same example that was recently posted about both here and on FB in one of the Atari groups/pages. There were photos showing the flawed image. I don’t have a link handy but in discussions here it came up in connection with the owner seeking a rare prototype A8 disk drive. When the monitor was mentioned, the poster indicated he had located one and it was in-bound. Guess he decided to flip it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was a 14" monitor which would preclude using the Goldstar ST cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I thought this was a 14" monitor which would preclude using the Goldstar ST cases. Looks like the sample is an 11" screen. Just sat my 130XE in front of my SM124 and the scale looks identical to the available photos of an XE next to the XC1411. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if any of the Atari promo photos show a different monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yeah. Even my 1084-S D1 only has a 13" visible screen area, so a 14" display with bezels like those on the XC1411 would have been some size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+kheller2 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 How many SC1224 versions are there? I swear there are at least 3. The XC1411 looks like the SC1224 Korean made unit... albeit the lower back section is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MBUpgrade Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 There were 3 SC1224 monitor manufacturers. If I recall correctly, JVC manufactured the PS3000 and the first SC1224. Samsung and Goldstar manufactured the other two versions of the SC1224. The XC1411 was definitely made by Goldstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
