Opry99er Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) It's as I feared... The GK will have to go. I just got back from the road and have determined that we need a new trailer. Tired of renting. Really sucks, but real life intercedes again. This GK is immaculate and in marvellous shape. It also includes all the GK utilities, GRAM Packer software and manuals, and more. I've posted a couple pics here if anyone's interested. I've only seen one other GRAM Kracker this complete and in this condition, and it sold for over $500. I wanted to post here to REAL 99ers before trying eBay. Need the money pretty quickly, so PayPal is the only medium I'll be accepting for this item. I'm listing this item at $400 with everything included... If there are no takers in a day or two, I'll post it to eBay... but as I said, I wanted to give you all first crack at it. If you know anyone who wants one or if someone wishes to cross-post this to Yahoo, that would be great. Hope to make someone happy as WELL as getting the new trailer we need for the band. Please post questions, comments, etc to this thread. If/When it sells, I'll post that here so that you all will know it's sold. Thanks Edited January 13, 2011 by Opry99er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sometimes99er Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sure looks like a nice package, smooth and in apparent good condition. Did you ever do anything with it or have you confirmed it's in general working order ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opry99er Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 I've used it, Marc Hull has tested it out... it works magnificently. =) Thanks for your interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+retroclouds Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Is someone willing to sel Gram kracker to me? I really need one! Well there's one up for sale on ebay. That doesn't happen a lot (and it's not mine) eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140855662560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic1975 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I know for this auction (eBay Auction -- Item Number: 140855662560). I try to bid but someone has put price to high. Is someone seling Gram Kracker for normal price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Is someone seling Gram Kracker for normal price? That *IS* the normal price. They're expensive and rare. Good luck getting one for under $200 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic1975 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 That guy who is first on bid list is holding price above 200$. I was trying to put my price, but that guy is holding it high. I was hoping that he will stop at 200 but he isn't stoping at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+acadiel Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Speaking of the GK, did Craig Miller or CaDD ever release the schematics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Vorticon Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 It's a great device from a historical standpoint, but of very limited use these days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'd say if you want to write GPL code, it's a totally essential, must have device. You can hack any GPL cartridge and change the code in it, or start a GPL cart project from scratch using RAGs GPL assembler. A cool toy. I've never used one though.

CantStopClicking Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Can't something more modern be built for a fraction of these eBay prices? I've never got the chance to own one and still would LOVE to but, I just can't bring myself to spend that much on something I can't see myself using - that much. I'd rather get a set of new tires for my car (I'll use that everyday!) or better yet, build my own GK! At least I'd have learned something for the money. hehe -D "Long Live the TI-99/4a!"

A much more doable Gram device project would be the Pgram. I've owned a few, as well as a Gram Kracker and found them to be more reliable and as useful (if not more so) than the Gram Kracker. Maybe Bud even has a few bare boards left. If not, he's certainly still got the layouts. They use all off-the-shelf parts, no special pals or gals ore anything like that. I'm betting that if there were a run of boards and a bulk parts buy were done, the cost would come in at less than $100. I might even like to have one again.
