FREE Atari ST / Monitor to Collect

I have an old Atari ST (I believe 1Mb RAM) with mono monitor.

A couple of other bits and pieces like hand-scanner and Replay sampler cartridge.

These were working last time I used them (used to do a lot of music in the 90s) But they've been in the cupboard and literally haven't been switched on for over 20 years. I don't know if I have a power-supply to test them now. And frankly I don't want to risk it.

Rather than just chuck these out, I'd prefer them to go a hobbyist who knows how to treat them well and would find some use for them. Even if ultimately it's only as spare parts.

So these are free to the first person willing to collect them from me on the south Croydon / north Surrey border.

Thanks for thinking of us. I'm too far away in Oxford (180 miles, 3hr round trip) but I am sure someone here will take them.

If you ever hanker for Atari ST nostalgia we can help you set up an Emulator to use the applications/games you used to use.

Tempting, but I have a lot of projects and not much time and space. Realistically, resuscitating this isn't the highest priority and I'd rather see it go to someone keen, than sit in my cupboard for another 20 years.

I'll take them if they are still available?

Hi @interstar,

If @atarifreakz is able to collect them, great, but if not, I'll come and collect them to avoid them going to the tip.

I have no need for them personally, but I'm happy to hold onto them whilst a longer term home is found if they simply have to go.

Cheers,

BW.
