What about the THD & IMD??

A pair of 6L6 tubes should leave one with a warm and "fuzzy" feeling :lol:

Well, it's perfectly clear that the VIC is not very good with irrational numbers. An analog computer wouldn't have such problems.

I think I'll start a thread about this question.
That entire lot (which had rare Atari games) went for $100. He says he's seen Miner 2049'er go for $50 by itself, I've also seen it sell for as little as $15 (that's the auction I missed because I was at work). :(

Just depends on timing and if you get a couple of people fighting it out on eBay.

Don't beat yourself up. The VIC community is small enough that you'll eventually get what you want at the price you want. More VIC systems go unsold on ebay than any other system.

The fact that a good number of them are overpriced to start with probably has something to do with that...

:roll:
What...and they won't include the TV? :?

Shipping insurance also not offered.

There is, at least, a "Submit best offer" button.

HAHA. I like that. It does have a nice feel to it!
Yes, and it is going to require that you have a 900W power supply and water cooling system. :lol:
