The Professor Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 It should be noted that this auction is from Dan Kramer, which is very cool. It's a shame the 2700 wasn't released, they should have worked out the radio issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I tried hard to win this auction but was outbid at the last second. It would have been nice to have for the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Would be neat to know who the winning bidder was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I should have placed a higher bid. I'm really bummed about this, kinda ruins the day. It wasn't just the joystick, it was duplicates of Dan Kramer's notes, engineering docs, marketing materials, and that wealth of information that could have gone up on Atari I/O. I'll have to step it up and get more of this out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 I have some other original Atari documents that I need to scan and upload to the site. When I'm done with the Stranger Things posts and some of these other projects and improvements I'll get on it. So much left to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did mention they were copies of the documents... I wonder if he'd make more for a fee? Because that would be totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
