+SoulBuster Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 When I was searching for a MSTE keyboard a few years ago, some one stated that some MSTE's were sold with MST keyboards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixdownita Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) @Snowbound1996 Any news to share on the repair status? We know at present I can’t buy (wife said no for now at least), still… I remembered I have a MiSTer so played with the ST[e] core, which is fun but not the same. Some things are way better like switching TOS very easily, RAM, color/mono and Viking even, some not so much like keyboard layout and tactile feeling of the whole shebang. Anyhow I am fascinated by the developments of this awesome deal you had, curious to see how many can be salvaged and which one … hopefully all of them.

Snowbound1996 Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Your wish shall be granted! Here's a status update on the Atari computers thus far: 3/4 Falcon 030s power on, 2 are almost fully restored and ready for sale. 1/3 1040 STe computers works, and the working one was sold. 1/1 Mega ST 4 works and is up for sale currently. 1/2 Mega STe works, 2nd one will be restored once the Falcons are done! 2/2 Mega ST keyboards work, and one was sold 0/1 Mega STe keyboards works. (Needs some fixing) 4/4 Atari mice work Here's a picture of a Falcon being restored 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm thinking with enough time and effort, all should be restored, I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikro Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Since you have the Falcons open, could you take a photo of their motherboards / serial numbers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Needs some fixing) How’s it going? Did the c-lab falcon mk-I made it? How about the rest? I assume it may be tougher to sell the mega st4 without keyboard now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
