Atari 8bit Explorer

New (to me) Atari 130XE

It was like Christmas today! The FB seller contacted me that he was available so I could come to get the Atari 130XE he was selling. I got quite a haul - at least in my opinion. I got an Atari 130XE, 1050 Disk Drive, two joysticks, 3 manuals (1 for the 130XE, one for the 1050, and one for Atari Paint), power supplies, and a bunch of cartridges (including PacMan, Donkey Kong, Defender, and others). I ordered a replacement power supply and a monitor cable from 8-bitclassics.com.

I ordered an expansion unit for the cartridge port from Bits of the Past (https://www.bitsofthepast.com/). I got the "130XE Cart/ECI to PBI converter with a cartridge port in a RA orientation" for $20. And I am glad I did - it sounds like he is shutting down - get what you can while there is still stock. I am thinking some rubber feet on the bottom to keep it level with the unit - making cartridge insertion easier.
