Bargain Quantum PCB on eBay be quick

....

The last 2 that sold for $1150 and $1050, so $1000 BIN isnt a bad price for a fully working Quantum PCB now a days. I saw a dead one sell for around $650 a couple of months back.

Wow

I thought I was being sarcastic

Time to make these from scratch I think

Surely the films are available
 
I forget who has them but somebody posted a thread a while back about how he had tons of original Atari PCB film templates and whether it was worth doing a production run of any of them, I think Quantum was one as well as Major Havoc and I, Robot.

Whoops found the thread, search is a wonderful thing:

I guess that because they're such HUGE boards they'd be particularly expensive to have made, but given what original boards go for I'd assume it would pay for itself easily. Let's say in theory it's $200 per bare boardset and maybe $150 for parts, you're still getting a perfectly brand new Quantum set for a mere $350!

Exactly

Well worth it IMO
 
I just revived that thread, and I also threw out the idea of having the films adapted to CNC files and maybe trying to make them on someone's CNC machine, in theory they would still work but be a lot cheaper.
 
Need to throw Lunar Lander into the mix those boards are starting to go up in value also, working boards are bringing 400+

And soon i'll have a working spare with the eprom upgrade for sale, expect a $400+ price tag. Also, if anybody's ready to part with a quantum machine, i've got a spare couple G's + i'd love to spend.
