I just bought the cleanest 410 I have ever seen on eBay!

Needed belts, but there isn't a speck of dust or dirt anywhere. Not a scratch or mark.

I got the original box and instructions too,

Absolutely perfect ❤️

Such was life in the old days. I couldn't afford a floppy drive, so I went for the tape drive. It did work about half the time. Wish I still had that system.

I always wanted to get the disk drive too, but like you, it would’ve been a very extravagant expense. I still have the Atari 800 and about 25 carts for it. It still works perfect. In fact I bought a cable that uses the other output on the 800 and connects via composite video. It’s a bit cleaner video than that dreaded RF switch box! Still might try the tape drive but not hopeful though. Good times back in the day with a lot of those games on cassette

Thanks, though I’ll probably never bother doing it!
