+Schmitzi Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Yep, lucky guy. I had some small explosion in my PEB (and more problems after the deal)... and lost "a little bit" more... But I am sure he will come up again, with another identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airshack Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 P-Boxes - their size, weight, cost and cost of shipping have always seemed to limit the expansions acceptance. Now with other options currently available, they seem to be getting harder to get rid of as well. I myself have a backup expansion box in great condition that I've been unable to sell at a fair price. TIPI won’t help matters for sellers. Already, between NanoPEB/Matt32k, and FlashGROM, most needs are met w/o PEBs. Especially for newcomers.

And they were big, used to have one in my stock when I was selling. I believe I sold it to someone at Lima, around 1995. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vectrexroli Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Found the adapter for the above case in <<THIS BUY IT NOW >> And here without eBay fees, bought this a few months ago: https://texelec.com/product/ti-994a-to-atari-2600-joystick-adapter/ Edited March 24, 2018 by vectrexroli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 And here without eBay fees, bought this a few months ago: https://texelec.com/product/ti-994a-to-atari-2600-joystick-adapter/ Good to keep in mind for future reference. As of today, pre-tax it would be $18.48 from his web site, while on eBay the same seller has it listed at 15% off for a pre-tax total of $17.34 (at least to my location). It's only $1.14 savings, but for buyers eBay is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 The joystick adapters are also available at ArcadeShopper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega-TI Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Need a BRAND NEW Wico Trackball for your TI-99/4A? << THIS EBAY BUY IT NOW >> has three NOS units for $79.95 each (which includes the $10.00 shipping). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 The same seller as the Trackball above also has a bunch of NOS "Wico Bat" joysticks << HERE >> for $59.95 (includes shipping). Dunno about his prices since I'm an admitted cheapskate, but if all you have are the TI sticks... and they will go nicely with that new stylish joystick adapter.

atrax27407 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 TI FDC 80-trk mods on Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/152947643425? These are a bit on the expensive side. I can furnish the exact same chip package plus additional variants wherein each of the three drives can be either 40 or 80 tracks for $14 inclusive. Oh yes, he bought those from me originally. I recognize the chip labels. I also can provide most TI DSR EPROMs and almost all of the games that have been publicly released as well. Contact ARCADESHOPPER or PM me direct. As far as the above eBay link is concerned -Caveat emptor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
