Kinetic Swinging Sticks on Amazon << HERE >> Okay, this one is cool, and they've been around for decades, but it's expensive and has a 5 year warranty. One should know though that they all eventually fail.

Here is my first "find", it's currently on special for $50.00 at Amazon << HERE >>

I got a TRS-80 Model IV today... ... well "sort of". 😄

Now why didn't I ever think of that!

Based on observations, this is what happens when a star gets too close to the spinning black hole in M87.

Yup, that was it.

Missile Command was sort of a let down to me. At some point you max out everything and can no longer buy or do anything with all the accumulated points.

Yeah, that pretty much what I meant. I've not been into the Atari's computer consoles so know nothing about them. I'm guessing the game selection is not much different than my 5200 though.

This seems like a good price on an Atari 800XL (if not for the shipping price) that supposedly has never been used. << HERE >> I'm curious, do they also have a Super Cartridge for this computer? If so, without the shipping price could have been a great deal.

I'm a Berzerk fan, the arcade one was great, the 5200 one okay, but the TI-99/4A version is awesome. Now to me all the additions, changes, and extraneous crud all distracts from the game. I'll pass on this one, it's not even the same game anymore.

I'm sure you'll get it all worked out. Sorry, I have yet another question, is that clock 100% CorComp compatible? If so, I may need to make another video... if you don't mind.

Sure, it's "only" $2,988.99 at Amazon << HERE >> but it has FREE shipping! 🤣

Looking good so far Chris! I forget did you mention what the battery was for? Did you slip in a RTC or is this to keep a programmable DSR active like on the HDX?

$139.58 with tax. We win some, we lose some. I guess I know which end I was on this time.

Since you have a 3D printer, you can get the file << HERE >> for free and print one up for yourself. 👍

Norm <-> Morn Believe it or not, that is why Morn had the name on the show that he had, he was DS9's tip of the hat to the Cheers character.

Out of curiosity, what was the original asking price? I'd like to know how much I was scalped for.

I was considering putting this in the "gaming thread" since coffee is a requirement (for me at least) when playing games and having any hope of a decent score. Anyway, last month I 3D printed this up to go next to the coffee bar. Since this added a "touch of class", I had to get away from the ugly tupperware container for my coffee filters and the store bought coffee can. Sadly I was unable to get matching containers, but these containers (show below) that arrived today do look better.

It actually looks better that what you see here, because I have the light shining directly on it.

The Delta Flyer arrived about 10 minutes ago. It looks nice with a lot of detail, but it's made of plastic and not metal like my Franklin Mint models. I'm not exactly sure it was worth what I paid for it, but it looks okay in the display cabinet.

I don't think I ever posted this one, I found it when I was downsizing and packing for the move to the retirement condo.

Same here, I'm saving this thread in my bookmarks.
