- Well, I was going to reply somewhere else, but since you need the same info:
- One of the best/first Atari only stores is;
- B&C ComputerVisions
- 2730 Scott Boulevard
- Santa Clara, CA 95050
- (408)986-9960
- They do everything from 8-bit to ST, repair, parts, etc. They still have
- a good selection of just about everything ever made by Atari. Prices run
- from $8 to about $25 for new software. They have packages of 800 replacement
- boards for about $30 & reconditioned 800's for $59 with Star Raiders. Ask for
- their catalogue, you won't be dissapointed.
- American Techna-Vision
- 15338 Inverness St
- San Leandro, CA 94579
- 1-(800)551-9995 or (510)352-3787
- They offer just about the same service as B&C, but parts run a little cheaper
- For instance, they sell a complete 800 board kit for $28.50! In other words,
- if you have an 800 with everything but the keyboard & case fried, you can get
- it running again for less then $30. They also have the Newell 1 meg upgrades
- & drive parts.
- San Jose Computer
- Alma Ct (I forgot the sweet number)
- San Jose, CA
- They have a lot of stuff, you can (408) 555-1212 for the number if you have
- to. I sorta like these guys: When I was looking for a 1772 controller for
- my xf551 they offered to pull one out of an old drive for me at a couple of
- bucks.
- There's obviously a lot more stores that handle Atari, sorry for the
- omissions. If you can really wait, don't mind spending a fortune on LD,
- there's also Compucat. It's the first BBS/Store I ever heard of & they've
- seperated me from major amounts of money. I believe Atari has cut them off
- as a regular supplier, but they still have some of the best connections
- around. May not be the best price since they have to go through a distibuter,
- but their prices are cost +10% (408)353-4669
