Atari 800 Vintage Home Computer Tested Working w/ 810 Disk Drive and Carry Case:
$349.99

The main console works perfect. If I eventually post screenshots, they will be fuzzy because I do not have a coaxial adapter on hand and I literally taped together a stripped coax cable to the end of the Atari RCA connector in order to not cut off the RCA connector. No switch box included.


Joystick works perfect. EXTENSIVELY tested with Pac-Man. w00t!!


410 Tape recorder needs a new belt or something. The motor works but with the bad belt the driving force is weak.


The 810 Drive is untested. The power supply checks out fine.


The case and everything is somewhat musty smelling from years of basement storage but I have been doing this for 25 years and my professional opinion is that this is not that bad overall because it probably spent some time in  a basement (where it picked up the case surface damage) then was moved to a better climate area and most of the offensive smell wore off but the visual damage remains, visible only on the case. I believe a lot of it can be remedied to a point. I do not think the inside equipment was mucha effected by bad storage other than some smell... which like I said is pretty minimal to what I have seen here on Cape Cod over the past quarter century.  


I got a second opinion from my kid on the musty smell and she said you have to get real close with a nose inhale to detect it. I concur. The outside visible is still concerning but I stick to my assessment that years of good storage mitigated the smell at least..... And nothing appears moisture damaged inside the case.


I will update this listing with more detail if it does not sell quickly. I will fire up the drive (without disk as I have none) and test all the carts beyond Pac-Man and test all the keys. None stick, BTW


For the time being. Sold As-Is with a guarantee on the main console.


I was a 99/4A guy, never an Atari guy so if you have specific questions, try to give me a clue about this Atari thing that is pertinent to your question... like what the deal was with the right and left carts. Madness :)


Any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking!
