It was a good one. 
 

I'll try to be there!

13 hour day yesterday. I hope to make it after we wrap the project I'm working on in a few weeks. Glad to see it back! 

The wed night chat rules!  It's the highlight of trash day. 
 

Glad to have checked-in, and wished I could have stayed longer !
 

Great, thanks @nosweargamer! We do a lot of stuff on Instagram and I feel bad that you're not there. I'm going to be conscious about logging into Twitter and our FB page to retweet and share your stuff! Thank you again for all the site shoutouts! 

You're welcome! It's become hard to schedule to do stuff on Atari Day, but it just so happened I was recording a posting a 2600 review on the 26th!
For social media, I stick to facebook and Twitter. Thanks!

To celebrate come join me tonight, 9:00 PM EST for a live premiere of Yars Revenge!

Cool I just put them in storage until my home situation is better currently I'm up north at a cottage and there's no room. But soon I will be better situated and have something better than my iPhone to record it with

I will also be 51 in 2019, so cheers to us old farts. 
 

Thanks guys! 🍻

Thanks so much! 🍻👍Somehow I have made it to 51 ! 😜

Happy Birfus Rob aka Maximum RD!

I do not own either but at this point the SWITCH would seem the better option. 

That would be great @Arenafoot!

Yeah! Happy Birthday Nolan!
Hoping we can get him to appear at the Houston Arcade Expo in November!!

The LA Rams were my team as a kid.  And the 1979 Super Bowl (Rams vs. Steelers) was probably when football fever really took hold of me.  They had an upstart replacement QB with an Italian name, and they gave the mighty Steelers a good fight.  Anyhoo, I ended up switching alliances to the Browns and Seahawks when the Rams left LA.  And of course, that's when they got really good and actually won a Super Bowl.  D'OH! 
This year, I will watch, but I don't really care so much.  It will be fun to observe the spectacle.  The Rams have a ton of players with Oregon roots, so I'll root for them I guess. 
 

If you are brave, here's an eBay search for some  TVs.  Hope this helps.  Good luck finding one!

Here's a free 40" to a good home.

And here's the search I used.  You might keep an eye on it.

RickR is right.  If you do a search for your local area and nearby areas you can get to you might be surprised at what you will find.  In the Craigslist search bar type "Free TV" and see what you find.  If nothing comes up check back daily.  Also check local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores.  From my understanding they no longer accept CRT TVs and any left stay outside for the garbage trucks to collect.  If you can get them for free grab a couple of those bad boys.  Keep your favorite for regular use, keep the other for back up.  For easy moving due to weight I try to stay in the 20" range.  Those don't require a crane.

I've also had really good luck on Craigslist, Lee.  A lot of people are still getting rid of CRT's and they'll give them away for free for less than $10.  They are heavy, but perfect for retro gaming. 

I also found a really nice 20" analog LCD tv on Craigslist for $10, and that has become my main gaming TV. 
 

This will be a great one.  I've spread the word on 5200 and trak-ball groups.
