kenjennings Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 The 1025 sort of matches color-wise, but it doesn't have the venting or bevelled edge styling and too little of the coffee brown color, my Pansonic printer matches as well as the 1025. I think I remember reading in the Atari mags that it's just Okidata Microline 80 (or 82?) with SIO port and different XL-style metal top cover. Even without the beveled cut XL-style edge, it did match pretty well for an Oki! I thought I read half the dot matrix printers ever made made were either rebadged licensed copies of the microline 80 (or unlicensed knock offs.)

kogden Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 (edited) YAY! My new Light Pen came in today! Got a CX75 on ebay w/ AtariGraphics cart for about $20 including shipping. It works great with old TV's and video monitors. Doesn't work on my big CRT HDTV unfortunately. This thing has been fun as hell to play with! It's a real pity they never really caught on due to scared lawyers. Will be awesome if FJC's GUI can support it. Might take some effort to eliminate horizontal jitters. I know you can make them cheap but I wanted at least one original Atari-branded light pen. If folks are interested I can try to make a short video showing the light pen in action this weekend. I didn't see anything on Youtube except the old Alan Alda commercial from Atari which doesn't do it justice. I gotta take some equipment pics anyway.

I don't know if your CRT HDTV has them but maybe a change in the color temperature adjustment or similar setting, available on some sets, would make the lightpen and your CRT compatible.

www.atarimania.com Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 So you're the one who got The Programmer's Program! I didn't want to bid higher than $30 as I was also watching some other stuff.

kenjennings Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Got an Atari 800 and three 1050 drives. (Yay! I'll have a real 800 again -- I rue the day I sold my original 800.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmo70 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Atari BASIC Programming (2600) cart + KeyPads -- probably not the coolest thing but I was so happy when I opened up the box, and even happier it when it powered up!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClausB Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 2 more 400s for $5! One is fairly clean and worked after reseating the chips. It has the Sally CPU board. The other is filthy and not yet tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fibrewire Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I bought an Atari 810 without power cords or any cables or accessories on ebay... eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220962481372 but then the guys says: Actual Weight 38 lbs.0 oz. Mailing Date Mar 7, 2012 Display postage value on label No Signature confirmation No Purchase USPS® insurance No Edit Shipment Details Shipping rate Package cost $42.49 USD cost 42.68 made error in the shipping you payed 18.00 need 24.49 to ship or we will refund your money I see 38lbs for a bare drive... is it full of gold bullion??? So I say: Please arrange payment of $6.49 through ebay so that the full value is covered by square trade. You could also pack in a smaller box with foam inserts, or just eat the cost as you're own mistake as I have done many times in the past. You can't back out of a deal by making up your own rules, eBay ALWAYS falls on the side of the buyer within reason - ALWAYS. If you are already a member of AtariAge, then message me there for other arrangements. Am I being unfair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 If it's full of gold bullion, I'd pay the $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari8bitCarts Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Tell him that one 810 drive weighs exactly 6 lbs 7 ounces, I just weighed one of mine. Packaging might add another pound. What an ass, to get out of the deal since it didn't sell for what he thought he could get. Also, USPS's Large (12x12x5.5) flat rate box (really not that large), fits the drive perfectly. And is a flat rate of something like $14.00. Regardless of weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guy is full of shit and upset because he thought he was going to make more money and is trying to make it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"pwned" Yeah - I adopted some new tactics for eBay shopping to scare off shill bidders, shell bidders, and fradulent sellers.

Bryan Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 thanks for the hot tip I knew what he was doing all along (the lousy bastid). He was making other bidders assume they were up against a tremendous proxy bid. I'm surprised it's not more common, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fibrewire Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 After out bidding the highest bid, bid one more time at whatever the next bidding tier increment is, then every successive bid can be increased by one penny. So its only one dollar per hundred bids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
