ColecoGamer Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 As the topic of this message states, I am looking for a working Atari 1040STE. Would like the internal floppy drive to work. I am looking to keep the STE as OEM as possible. Thanks! I am a verified Paypal business user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfollowell Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I'm really thinking that, depending on where you are, you're going to have to be a little more proactive in your approach. While more prevalent in the U.K., STEs are fairly rare here in the U.S., so if you're on my side of the pond, I can almost guarantee one isn't going to just fall into your lap and no one is going to come knocking on your door with an offer for you. I posted a lot, similar to you, on many boards and FB groups. I watched ebay and FB Marketplace for months and months. Finally, after over two years of waiting and looking without a single bite, I bit the bullet and adopted a 1040 STE from the U.K. and converted it to a U.S. model, or as closely as I could. Where are you located? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoGamer Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 I’m located in the US. I agree about the STE snd adopting it from Europe. The prices don’t seem too bad right now, so I may just buy a UK machine off eBay. I imported my 520ST from the UK and it works great.
