JokerCPoC Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 - the boxed Atari CX30 paddles: i have never seen this particular type.. with the extra "edge part" on top of each knob and the silver finish around them. I don't think they are common are they? Anyone??? I've never seen that before It was posted on here, Maybe something someone in Atari was working on or someone modded the paddle.

iratasan Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 they arnt naked, they just have a different type of knob... the kind that was common to most knobbed devices in the 70's... considering the input shaft of the controller was a very common size, someone may have found a different type of knob and put them on to be 'different' or 'stylish'... sloopy. Interesting theory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reverse psychology worked!!! *** rolls eyes and walks away, contemplating what to do with YET ANOTHER useless piece of Corvus junk *** Look at how long ago the Corvus sytem was sold (1982), and how much it cost!

svenski Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Yikes, I just called Corvus and they said they couldn't honour their 1982 prices. They're going to phone back once they've worked out the price plus nearly 30 years of inflation. Free shipping though, so not all bad.

fibrewire Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I know, I know... I (and OldAtarian) have the 6MB Corvus drive with no interface. I'm still looking for either the interface or multiplexer. That reminds me, I need to contact some bulk sellers on eBay This 'lack of interface' is why I have SDX, RT8, MIO, and soon to have 130XE & XF551 - MEtalGuy66 pretty much 'spit in my mouth and kicked my jaw shut' to talk some sense into me on that one. But hey, shattered dreams are a much smaler burden to bear compared to wasting tons of money and time on a pipe dream. Besides, Curt Vendel said he would make a short run of interfaces, as soon as he completes several 'Catch 22' projects. If I had thought it would help, I'd have Paypal'd Curt $500 to move the project to 'first in line.' The guy is totally a living legend. You know, guys like Curt Vendel, MG, Sloopy, Warerat, Mathy, and FJC are the reason I come here. You guys are smart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new relisting says the buyer backed out because of the shipping. However in the new listing, the Bit-3 has been taken out. So what really happened is the buyer just wanted the Bit-3, didn't want to pay shipping on the rest, made a side-deal and probably paid the full amount (minus Ebay fees), and seller relists.....HA HA HA.. I'd have done the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 You guys are lucky to find stuff to buy... there's been nothing interesting on eBay hardware-wise in the UK for ages. Nothing today. And it's Sunday, for pity's sake! Well - at least I didn't let this pass me by last week: These were presumably given away free at Orbital concerts. Was lightly yellowed at the back, but peroxided up nicely in the sun and looks like new. It's a switchable ST/Amiga mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) ST Books are not easy to find, and there aren't many PDFs like the A8. I would like to have the ABACUS collection. Maybe in about 10 years. I don't care how many 1050s I have to buy to get good, nice, like-new, reliable models. I WILL have 2 like-new Happy 1050s, and a pile of parts when I'm done. A great printer for Atari. Edited April 18, 2011 by wood_jl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20ohm20 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Bought a 850 w/power supply. I've been wanting to dust off the ol' 2400 baud modem and dial up some BBS's; something that I have done since about 1994 and not with my A800 since about 1988.
