Still see this thread as kinda silly unless someone was ripped off by a repro, say a fake apple I. I would like to think most all us are in it for the love of the hobby, not money...
Best investment I take it?He hee
A PET 8032SK with keyboard, just a 400 mile round trip to pickup
Get that tape drive working, rebuild a couple tapes, and sell it! You could buy a car with the profit as the last auction showed!Best investment.. hrmm... I have an IBM 5100 that I got free and put maybe 20 bux into to get running? Tape drive is still a mess but it works otherwise. One these days I'll get to it and get the tape drive working. Have a bunch of software and manuals whatnot. Just watched that last machine get almost 10k. Thats nuts.
That would explain why my original bagged copy of Ultima didnt get as high as the last one sold. Still. If I had something like that, Id rather have the money in savings. Plenty other machines to tinker on.Too soon imo. Everytime something goes for crazy prices, some guy comes in next and gets maybe half if that. I'm not into it for the money, tbh I wanna keep it and eventually open a museum.
One of them.Best investment I take it?
A Pet usually is.
My first being a 2001-8 in rough shape with a blue bezel was not cheap even in non-working condition. But I dont regret it one bit considering the prices now and its fully working.
Did not know this existed. I will look into it. Thanks!What paks do you need for the TI? I'd say a FinalGROM cart will solve most issues. There's also the NanoPEB or its replacement.
I do have to say that I don't look at vintage equipment in terms of "investment." To me, its pure history, preservation, and nostalgia.
