Flipflargin Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Amazing product. Received, installed and performing pitch perfectly. Such a hoot to play speech enabled games and have the adapter card LED show the activity. Cheers Chris! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPOLARA Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Received mine a few months ago and just now installing...and look what I found in my Speech Synthesizer? This one has the Grom connector in it! I've had about a dozen of these Speech Synthesizers and never seen one with the connector. I got this when I got a system that had RAVE Speech Synthesizer card in the PEB (Which I sold last year). I think I'll keep this one as is and sacrifice one of my other 3 that doesn't have this cute appendage.

RickyDean Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Excellent decision. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FarmerPotato Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 @DPOLARA Can you tell us the date codes on the chips inside? It’s no sure indicator, but they may have codes like 8107… you could just take a picture of the board inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no sure indicator, but they may have codes like 8107… you could just take a picture of the board inside. The bottom of the speech synthesizer will have a date code that is instructive as well. IIRC, all of the ones with the connector were made in 1979 (code LTA79xx) or early 1980 (code LTA 80xx). Some may even replace the LTA with ATA, but the number codes will not change. The xx will be the week of manufacture. @DPOLARA, that is a very good find--they are seriously uncommon, as at the time they were produced, TI was only selling a few thousand machines at most each month, and even less of peripheral items. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPOLARA Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thanks for the info on my speech synthesizer. The date code is (LTA4280) serial number is (9058124). Let me know if there is any other info I can provide. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ksarul Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 That was exactly the information we needed, @DPOLARA. Many thanks! That tells us that the connectors were included until at least the end of October, 1980. Now to compare that to the dates of the other half dozen early Speech Synthesizers bouncing around in the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
