tyranthraxus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I know the Atari Video Music is a rare bird, I was wondering if anyone knows what they sell for and how much trouble they are to get working with a modern television/stereo?

Ian Primus Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I know the Atari Video Music is a rare bird, I was wondering if anyone knows what they sell for and how much trouble they are to get working with a modern television/stereo? While I have no idea what they currently sell for, the last time I saw one for sale many years ago, someone wanted like $200 for it. No clue on current value. As for getting it working with modern equipment, there should be no problem. It just takes line level audio, available from any hi-fi receiver, and it outputs video - RF I think - which is no problem to hook up to any TV. It's not like audio signals or TV frequencies have changed in the last 30 years. From what I remember seeing of that device - it's output is pretty limited. Neat, but limited. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremoloman2006 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 If you happen to catch the movie Over the Edge (circa 1979), it features the Video Music system several times on the kids TV sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaxda Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I have always wanted one of these, as they combine my love of Atari with my love of vintage stereo. Unfortunately, they tend to go pretty high, though I did just miss one on eBay for $100 which actually seems like a decent deal. If anyone runs into one of these, I'm interested for the right price. Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tremoloman2006 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 If you are patient you can get one for a little over $100 now. I scored one recently for just over $110. I sold a few things on eBay to pay for it. Are there any scans of the original box or manual around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
