I am surprised that it's worth so much. I would have thought that, with all those cheap TPDD-emulators, the need to buy the real thing would have disappeared. Apparently not. Collectors still want the real thing, I suppose. (I should know, but I'm not a typical collector)
It's a TPDD2, by the way. I still have mine, and I don't need another one. So, I'm going to propose a price of EUR50,- without shipping, to the person who asked me first. If he doesn't want it, I'll post it here, for the same price. It's only fair that M100-list-members have the first choice. A that time, I'll send photo's to anyone who wants to see it. If nobody in the group wants it, it goes on e-bay, again for the same price.

It IS goo inside there. By now it's not a maybe, it just is. A new belt is readily available from various on-line sellers for under $10 usd. And it's not TOO hard to install. Google or ebay search "FRW-8.5 belt" for the belt. You want to have some alcohol and qtips to clean up the tar that the old belt has turned into. > If you go on ebay and search for Tandy Portable Disk Drive, and then go to filter andnenable sold items, you see that a few different units complete with box and disk, have gone for between $50 and $65. > -- > bkw > > On Mar 10, 2017 5:01 PM, "Gary Hammond" wrote: > >> I have paid more than USD100 for one (including freight to New Zealand). >> >> FROM: M100 on behalf of Jan-80 >> REPLY-TO: Model 100 Discussion >> DATE: Saturday, 11 March 2017 at 10:50 AM >> TO: Model 100 Discussion >> SUBJECT: [M100] Price of a TPD(2) >> >> What is the price for a "new-in-box" TPDD/TPDD2 (not sure) ? >> >> I have one, still in the original box and plastic, with manuals and disk. >> I also have someone who wants it, but I don't know what it's worth. >> >> Greetings from the TyRannoSaurus >> Jan-80 >> >> (gebruik voor persoonlijke communicatie aub het adres [email protected] [5]) Links: ------ [1] mailto:[email protected] [2] mailto:[email protected] [3] mailto:[email protected] [4] mailto:[email protected] [5] mailto:[email protected] [6] mailto:[email protected]
