<< 1 TI99/4A with no stuff - just the basic unit. I've never had a
TI99/4A before so this should be fun. My main question is - what
is the input voltage? I'm going to need to mod a power supply to
it before I can get anywhere with it.

Bill,
Your best bet is to pick up a genuine TI transformer yourself. However,
quoted from the TI transformer itself:
INPUT: 120VAC 60HZ 40W
OUTPUT: PINS 1,2: 18VAC, 18VA
PINS 2,4: 8.5VAC, 1.28VA
Hope this helps - by the way, did you get a beige or silver unit, and how
much did you pay for it?
Also, where are good thrift places to hit (other than Salvation Army), where
you can go and pick up used computer stuff?

Bill,

It's a beige, plastic unit with no "black areas" (that is, base and cart
area are beige). I paid $2.99.
Also, where are good thrift places to hit (other than
Salvation Army), where
you can go and pick up used computer stuff?
I find that pawn shops are often as good as thrift stores. To be honest
I've gotten most of my stuff by leaving my number at small computer shops
and asking them to call me if they pick up old junk in trade. Usually
they either charge me $10 for anything they get or they just call me and
ask me to haul it off before they junk it.
