Atari 800XE (Boxed) + XC12 (White Box) – Retr0Bright Sux
November 5th, 2019

Why make a Retr0Bright if you have a 130XE (mint) to sacrifice to replace the yellowed case and keyboard of an Atari 800XE ?
If we talk about collecting an atari 800XE is more important than a 130XE, especially if you have more than one.
I have replaced only the upper side of the case, the keyboard and the plastic piece of the led which in the 800XE is white and not red, the back side with the adhesive fortunately was in perfect condition.
I didn’t have to do any repairs except to calibrate the XC12 cassette recorder motor speed using an old but still valid speed calibration system, a music cassette, obviously only if you have a “good ear” and you know the music track perfectly.
NOTES: i have never seen the XC12 in a white box and miss it in my Atari collection.
NOTES 2: How did i listen the Billy Idol cassette? the Atari SIO connector supports Analog audio with a dedicated pin to this purpose.
