Re: Did anyone see Vintage Tech Hunters on Discovery Canada yet?
You can watch the second episode on the Discovery Canada website as well. I just watched both. Very nice on the credits by the way. I tried to watch it on the drive home from work today. Youtube video had a strike (takedown) so it's gone. The web site had IP geolocation and rejected my phone. So looks like it's Canada only.

Re: Did anyone see Vintage Tech Hunters on Discovery Canada yet?
Hi Corey, You can watch the second episode on the Discovery Canada website as well. I just watched both. Very nice on the credits by the way. I think it's a great show with a good variety of items. My only feedback is that I'm not a fan of how the summarization of the purchase is measured by potential profit. One has to mentally calculate what the selling value is. Most other shows summarize purchases with a final potential selling value so that people can easily see how much something is worth. Maybe it's just me but throwing the word "profit" around a lot makes it seem the buyers are in it for the money more than the other shows which I know is the case for the others but it seems less "greedy" when final selling prices are stated; leaving the viewer to mentally calculate the profit. Hope that makes sense.

Re: Did anyone see Vintage Tech Hunters on Discovery Canada yet?
Many of the 8-bit ones go for quite a bit more. There was an SB 1.5 that went for $200 recently, and a Game Blaster went for $400! Once you go past the SB Pro the prices drop a lot, SB 16s (especially the Vibras) are dirt cheap. I think people have a fascination for the old Creative CMS chips (just Philips SAA1099 devices) and the SB 1.X and Game Blaster cards are one way to try them out.

It was so fast that you’d take off and crash before you even knew what was happening. IIRC, the F-16 Falcon AT version ran just fine. I bought a copy of “Master of Orion” and a couple other old games from GOG.com, it’s running in DOSbox, and lets me run them on my Mac (though I’d rather run the old Mac version of MOO, as it allows a much higher screen resolution than the DOS version, same with Warlords II). Realistically I only have time for Atari 2600 games these days (a few minutes here and there). Zane

Re: Did anyone see Vintage Tech Hunters on Discovery Canada yet?
I equate the reproductions to kit cars. If you are wanting something to play / drive without angsting about damage, then IMHO, reproductions & kits are a great way to go. Just don't pretend that they are the real thing. Know that they are a reproduction / kit and enjoy the experience. Indeed! Also, my friends often take their stuff to events where it's all put out for the public to play at large. When the values get too high on things, then they tend to get locked behind glass with the price guide nearby and aren't as easily enjoyed. I've started seeing similar with old sound cards. I'm following someone on Twitter that's recreating vintage Sound Blaster cards. I've seen others that I can't remember the make / model of. I think someone just did an Adlib remake. I am lucky that I still have two Soundblaster 1.0s and a Gravis Ultrasound 1 and Pro or something. It's neat to me that there is interest in it because that is how I grew up on DOS PCs, but a bit surprising. A lot of it is driven by youtube stars like LGR (who is awesome) who build hype. :-) But there are a lot of clones that should be out there feature compatible and sound identical. I gave my Adlib to friends for a Tandy system that gets put out at events for people to play on. Mainly the Chesapeake VA Freeplay event at the library and the museum room at MAGFest in MD (near DC.) The CM5/CM11 monitor exploded though, which sucks. Flyback died no reproductions yet. I have to admit, I looked at some of those IIGS sound card reproductions :-) -- : Ethan O'Toole

Re: Did anyone see Vintage Tech Hunters on Discovery Canada yet?
Having watched two episodes, I find that their estimates of profit on the items are not unreasonable - they tend to go with 'doubling our cost'... no insane, 'Oooh, that's worth megabucks'. Not being a big toy aficionado, I'm not sure about the demand for some of the items, but there's a lot of oddball stuff that they present, which makes it more interesting than the typical "someone's trash is someone else's treasure" show.
