Well, guys & gals, remember me? I'm one of the folks who lives in the
boonies that owns 70% of the classic machines in a 50 mile radius!!!

I travelled just a bit closer to civilization over the weekend, and did a
lot of gar[b]age saleing on Thurs. & Friday, and I did get one good find,
well, for at least the thumb area of Michigan (lotsa farmers)...

A TI-99/4A (works) with RF Modulator, Joysticks, and 20 cartridges... $5.
It even came in a computer/game holder, to keep everything organized.
(haggled from $10... had to give wifey a lesson on "Don't ask me what it
is, when I'm playing dumb!" ;-)

Tho this isn't perfectly legit, I also picked up a Sony AC/DC (with 3 types
of DC!) 5" color TV, which I plan to use as a monitor / portable monitor
for one (or more) of my CoCo's. (The TI didn't like it... :-(

Question: One of the cartridges has a triangular picture-hanger rivited to
the case... would this be some sort of store demo or something?

Anyway, keep digging, you'll eventually come up with something!

Have fun,
"Merch"
