Saw this today at a Long Island Thrift store, it was already sold. But it's the first time I've seen a cab in a thrift shop.

Anyone had a find in a thrift shop?

Just ordered this ti 99/4a  http://www.ebay.com/itm/121917220713?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Since dad wouldn't buy me an Atari 2600 I asked for a computer for "school". Love this machine, spending long nights typing code from magazines, trying to make my versions of arcade games.

BTW some o the best versions of arcade games came from ATARISOFT. , Pac-Man. TI invaders was problably the best version of Space invaders.

Now lets see if this purchase works out of the box, or what is more likely a project.

I'll love to see some of those games run, if you can make a video. BTW is it PAL ?

I started my setup with a hollow cabinet I got for free and put MAME (DOS version), I made a custom pac-man in a table and later added a few skill games. For some reason I got nostalgic about classic computers and started filling my basement Atari's & Amigas ...Then Irene came and I lost 30% of my collection. Then Sandy came and I lost it all. So in the last year I decided to rebuild, I've built a Retropie system, I added a few tabletop systems as well (all things I can loose and not have my heart broken).
