Looking for one of these monochrome hi res monitors:
PTC1426, TTM194, SM194 or TTM195. Thanks!

I'm watching your RE FALCON 030 thread on AtariAge, but I don't have a Falcon to harvest from.
I have fun restoring & modding my 8bits and 1040STEs, and want to upgrade one of the STE processors at some point.
I hope to get a TT030 one day, to pair with my huge TTM194. But I seriously doubt I'll find even a broken one for a reasonable price.

Then I noticed your posts looking for Atari TT030 and TTM194, and thought hey I know who that is.
My TM194 came from a friend that had lost his TT030 accidently.
In the next few weeks I should know whether it works or not.
Will be trying on a friend's newly acquired TT030, or at an upcoming EXPO that tends to have TT030s.

I'm starting to think these old monitors are harder to find than the TT030 itself.
I hope you've found both by now, and I wanted to say hi!

I'm in the USA, and it's a shame we live so far apart.
Even if I decide to sell or trade the TTM194, it's so big and heavy I'd hate to try shipping it.

Suavek is also in the USA as far as I know. With a big-enough box anything is possible.

Yes, Suavek is in Florida.

Hi. Thanks for reply. Yes, I am in south FL. Shipping isn't a problem at all, I can ship you proper box with padding safe for transport. Where are you located?

Thanks everyone.
It would be fun to drive ~1,000 miles to go visit Sauvek :-)

I would have sent a DM, but I couldn't on AtariAge due to low posting history.
Oh but it looks like I could have on exxos.
I'll reply further with an exxos DM.

Oh, since I started the conversation here...

I'll mention testing this with local vintage computer club.
Was very happy to see it working (i.e. "alive")

:shock:

How on earth does someone accidentally lose a TT030?!

Ugh. Well...

He was trying to chase it down, whether it was in garage, or gave to brother, or ... lost to time?!?
They drove a long way to visit and he said the TT was no where to be found.
He said "Heh. It's worse for you than me since I was going to give it to you". :shock: :cry:
Later off to the side, his wife told me she thinks she threw it away when clearing out their storage.
They are both really nice & good friends, so I'm saying he "lost it accidently."
