Crikey, just wondered if you had a source for all this stuff,
or was it just stuff you came across.

What make/model scope? I may have schematics or manual for it. Does it work?

Hey,

I have no consistent "source" for this stuff, I get it through things like Brotherhood, Savers, and Hard Rubbish when people dump their old electronics (and other stuff) on the sidewalk.

alltare, I will get the model and specs later as I don't have it with me ATM.

It has tubes if thats any indication of age, orange round screen.

Oh okay, I guess you can pick up a computer at a reasonible
price at Brotherhood or Savers? Whenever I've been to those
places I generally look at the books - cause you never know
what you might find there sort of thing.

I was just wonderning how well those places are for software -
I'm particularly looking for Atari 7800 games all the time now
& if I can find them here - so much the better.
Depending on the condition their in & the price it is - I'm
certainally after them. (I'm kicking myself cause Cash
Converters one time down here had a mint copy of a 7800 game
Chopterlifter for $10 - don't know what I was thinking leaving
it there, obviously though someone snapped it up quickly -
cause it was gone the following time I went!)-:

But yeah, generally CC is all IBM stuff.

Most shops don't have vintage software AT ALL.

Most of mine has come from sidewalk freebies or garage sales.

I know my local brotherhood has lots of N64 and older games, but no atari.

Edit:

Oh, lol, by the way today I got a black performa 5500/250 which I think is quite rare for Americans, they never shipped over there :) That came from the sidewalk along with a few more crappy 486 processors for my "box of gold"

Absolutely Dreadful, and to think that 10 years ago these
games were still around. Of course I'd have to think that
someplace in this city - the odd game would have to pop up.

Hey,

Thanks for the offer, but this is an Australian brand and I doubt it would have gone to the US.

It also has some damage to the circuit boards so I am just gonna ebay it and see what happens.
