This is my FREE parts post for the weekend of 03/15/08 - 03/16/08. BYOAC members only!
Since this is doing so well each weekend, I’ve decided to keep offering up freebies. This is mostly a repeat of last week, with the exception of a few items I removed and at least two new items which I just added: the Atari logo joystick plunger and pivot ball, both of which are much needed parts. Both of these items are reproduction parts I’ve made.
All of the below items are free to anyone here on BYOAC. All you have to do is PM me with your request before any given item is depleted. And when I say free, I really mean FREE. I'm not asking for nor will I accept shipping money or donations for these items. Just pick ONE item from the list below and PM me immediately. This offer is only good for the weekend listed above. After that, I'm back to work on various projects here at RAM Controls.
Let's start off with some chips.
ER2055 EAROM (non-volatile memory chip used on pretty much every classic Atari board - crosses to NC7055 - hard to find now)
Z80CTC (this is a common Z80 support chip used on all of the Bally/Midway MCR series boards - tron, discs of tron, tapper, timber, spy hunter, etc)
TMS5200NL (speech chip used on a bunch of pinballs)
TMS5220CNL (speech chip used on a lot of classic Atari boards - Gauntlet, Star Wars, etc)
AY-3-8910 (sound chip used on Bally/Midway MCR series boards and more!)
SN76489AN (sound chip used on something, but I forgot what. LOL)
TDA1004 (sound amplifier chip used on most of the old Atari B&W games - this one is extremely RARE!!!)
MB3730 (sound amplifier chip used on Bally/Midway stuff...Galaga comes to mind.)
LM379S (sound amplifier device used on Q*bert and others like it - this is is very RARE!!!)
I'll give ONE piece of ONE of the above part numbers to the first TEN people who PM me.
Here’s the last of the chip items:
AM6012PC DACs (used on a heap of old Atari vector boards)
AD561JD DACs (used on Asteroids boards)
MC1495L (used on pretty much ALL of the Atari vectors)
These are somewhat expensive parts (and hard to find). I'll give a couple pieces of ONE of the above part numbers to the first FIVE people who PM me.
Ok, on to non-chip items I think people here may like:
LogoStick Pivot Ball – (this is a reproduction item I've made and it is used in all of the Atari logo stick types: 720, assault, hall effect, etc).
Logostick Plunger – (this is a reproduction item I've made and it is used in all of the Atari logo stick types: assault, hall effect, etc).
HAPP 3" trackball roller kit - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
HAPP 2.25" trackball roller kit - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
SW Yoke Rubber Bumper Kit (4pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
SW Yoke Thumb Button Kit (2pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
Atari Tall Black Button Cone kit (3pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made, hard black anodized)
Atari Short Black Button Cone kit (3pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made, hard black anodized)
Atari Short Silver Button Cone kit (3pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
Each of the roller kits include two encoder shafts and one idler shaft - NEW PARTS. Since these items weigh more than the chips, I'm limiting how many I'll give away. I'll give ONE item from the above list to the first FIVE people who PM me.
-=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=- -=*=-
Ok, that's it for this weekend. I hope you guys find something you can use.
Remember, only choose ONE item from the above list.
Again, there's NO need to send me ANY money for these, I'll cover shipping. Don't even worry about making the gesture as it's not at all necessary.
I'm trying to help people who may NEED this stuff to work on their existing project games, so if you don't need anything presented here, leave it for someone who does.
I possess an immense selection of parts, but this is all I can come up with for this weekend. PM me if you have any other requests. I'll try to help if I can. I'm only taking requests for the above items TODAY and TOMORROW. After that, I'm back to work on the controller projects.
I will try to make this a weekly thing, at least until I run out of stamps (I've got a few rolls left of 33 cent, 37 cent and 39 cent stamps).
ENJOY

Big props to Dave for doing this!!! Thanks!!! :cheers:

Hi I never did recieve that trackball roller kit it's been a few weeks so I don't know what happened.
-
I also never received the Atari Cone Buttons. Including the second set that Daviea said he would send when the first ones never showed.
-
Hey guys,
I have no way to track the progress of the bubble mailers I drop into the mail.
Kilroy, I have not had a chance to send another set of cones yet -- sorry about that. I've been a little swamped with work.
Northerngames, PM me if you have not done so already.
No worries. The freebies are FREE and I'll make sure you get 'em!!
Have a great week, everyone.

Out of interest and to protect Dave's name from further harm, anyone who _did_ receive the free stuff ?
O and yes I am interested in these:
SW Yoke Rubber Bumper Kit (4pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
SW Yoke Thumb Button Kit (2pcs) - (this is a reproduction item I've made)
[Edit]Oops, I didn't look right, I'm too late....

Still waiting for my 3" trackball roller kit from 3/15. I am not complaining at all and am very grateful of the offer. Just wanted to let you know ;D
Thanks

Guys,
A few bubble mailers came back with insufficient postage. I slapped on an extra stamp and resent. In total, over 60 FREE items went out in march. If you did not get your item yet, PM me.
If you're wondering about any closed transactions, watch my forum feedback trickling up.
Thank you.

Hey Everyone,
BTW I skipped the free weekend giveaway on 3/22 - 3/23, if you didn't notice. I hit nearly 70 freebies this month and almost used up all of my spare stamps I had laying around. I'm contemplating buying up more bubble mailers and stamps to keep the giveaways going. Maybe I can cut back the number of freebies each weekend so I can stretch it out longer.
Anyone have some input on the subject? I don't mind giving away parts to people who need them, but I've got maybe 20 mailers left, eighteen 37cent stamps and half a roll of 20cent stamps left over. Those will be used up real quick with the next giveaway. :-) Anyone know where I can pickup free/cheap bubble mailers?
BTW, if you have not received your care packages, send me a PM. I'd like to tie up any loose ends before this weekend.
Thanks and enjoy those free parts!!

David, I have a box of (19) 9x7 bubble mailers, not a ton but PM me your address and I'll send them your way.
Also you got a PM as well
-
Hey Daviea, I sent you a PM.
-
what stamps do you need ill try to help
-
Hey Werejag,
I can use any postal stamps 20cents on up. I just throw a few of them on each bubble mailer and we're good.....well, it should be no trouble in theory. :-) I had a lot of old 20, 33, 37 and 29 cent stamps laying around. I'm glad I finally found a use for them!
Thanks

When I get the parts in the mail I could send the bubble mailer back to you if you would like ;)
-
Well I got my rollers yesterday and I could mail you the mailer back, the PO forgot to stamp the stamps!
-
LOL!! It figures that they would forget to postmark them.
Anyhow, don't worry about sending the mailers back to me, guys. You can keep them. :-)
Enjoy those parts!!

TB kit still hasn't shown up....but then again, I live in the boonies.
-
Thanks David,
I just received the cones, and the quality is outstanding!
-
Hi I recieved the trackball roller kit today thanks a million :applaud:
nice craftsmanship too by the way :cheers:
-
I got my cone buttons, and they really are great. Thanks so much David! You've been very generous with us all!
-
My packages arrived today. Great stuff. Thanks Dave!

Ha, must have been the same batch as he sent my parts with, because mine weren't stamped either :) Free intercontinental mail :D
Everyone knows I've been rather critical about Dave's SW yoke project. I can only say that he definitely kept his word and delivered these parts like lightning speed. And for free as a bonus.
David's doing a great job in regaining his reputation, and I hope for all that the yoke will be available very soon.
The parts are great quality and I'm sure my yoke will improve a lot from it.
I'm sure the yoke that David will come up with will be great quality. I hope to see more projects from him in the future.
Thanks David !

Same with the stamps on mine.

ps bubble mailers are on the way
-
The Atari Cones still haven't shown up :(
-
I've wondered about this. Maybe they have watermarks or something and are scanned?
-
yeah free postage here also.
what your paypal davidea. i cant find my rolls of stamps and i want to give money back
-
He doesn't have one. I insisted on at least paying the shipping costs as well, but this fell through because of this.....he insisted on not needing to pay anything.... :applaud:
-
Hey guys,
Like Level42 said, I don't want any money. :-)
When I say "free", I really do mean FREE.
BTW, I haven't seen anything come back to me from this last time around, so we might be OK. Though, I'm wondering about the Candian guy who didn't get his item yet. Especially given that Level42 who is waaaaay overseas got his item in record time...and without even getting the stamped canceled. Weird!!
Enjoy the parts.

I still haven't received the Atari cones from the 03/01 to 03/02 giveaway.
EDIT: I should note that I did receive a set or the Red Atari Buttons that Daviea promised me and he has been very helpful in getting me a set of cones. I blame the postal service for the trouble and not Daviea. He has went out of his way over this.
-
Hey Kilroy,
I don't know what it is, but I think the mailman doesn't like your address for some reason. LOL
I sent you a PM, answer it when you have a chance.
I don't want anyone who was expecting parts to get left out in the cold.
I've been watching daily, nothing else has come back to me ..... yet.
Have a great evening, everyone.

Thanks so much!

For the record...
I was promised a TB kit and never received anything.
:dunno
-
Did you contact him? The stuff he gave me didn't go out at first either... but when I contacted him he got it all bundled up and to me quickly.

Same here.
-
I think he's quit the scene. I've heard that from a few people now.
-
Hate to hear that he has quit. He was very generous by having these giveaways.
(Plus.. I was still waiting on my Atari Cones that never showed up.)
-
I requested a thumb button and I did receive it, and I did not have to remind him. I don't remember the time frame, though.
-
I got a 3 in trackball kit instead of a 2.25 in trackball kit that i asked him for. very cool of him to give me a replacement. too bad i have two 2.25 in trackballs that need a kit and no 3in :laugh2: . He promised he was going to send me a 2.25 in kit when he ran his next batch. never did. i didnt want to keep bothering the guy, he was giving them for free.
well i have a 3 in trackball kit that i dont need... if anyone needs it just pm me...if anyone whats to trade it for a 2.25 in trackball kit or atari cones for my centipede that would be even better..
thanks
