All comments are spontaneous unsolicited Best customer feed back comments and are posted here with the permission of each Best customer.
Joe B. of CA. On Joe's second or third order to Best in a row, contacted Best via E-Mail. He said he was considering upgrading his small ST display to a larger one. He asked Best if the NEC Multisync 1970VX 19 inch color Flat panel display was compatiable with the Atari ST Computers. Best told Joe, that the NEC Multisync 1970VX display was on our two large lists of (plug and play) Compatiable ST monitors. So Joe ordered one of Bests 2nd Generation Multi Sync adapter cables. "Surprisingly I got the shipment Friday...super fast since you mailed it Thursday night. The ST cable to the Multisync works great and I'm very happy I finally made the investment to get a good monitor"
James R. of CA. Placing his 4th Atari order in a row in the last few months, this time James ordered a New in the box Atari CX77 Touch Tablet and the very hard to find New in the box last Generation made, Atari XC12 Program recorder. See his other Best Feed back comments below. "Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know I received my latest order today - the touch tablet and program recorder. As always, I’m thrilled and so appreciative to you guys for keeping the brand alive. Love to share the happiness you guys provide."
Ben G. of WI
Ben ordered one of
Bests 2nd Generation Atari ST computer Multi Sync adapter
cables. "I
received my MultiSync cable today and it works wonderfully!
Thanks for the super fast shipment!"
Jim F. of AZ. Jim ordered two sets of Bests exclusive made CX52 Gold dot Lifetime upgrade parts for two bad Atari 5200 CX52 carbon dot Joysticks he had. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! The order of the 5200 Controller Replacement Parts (gold) arrived quickly with exactly what I ordered. Best of all, in no time flat my two Atari 5200 controllers were fully functional! I used rubber cement, as your site suggested, to secure the flex circuits. Once everything was back together, they worked! No fiddling needed. Galaxian, here I come!"
Aaron L. of TX. Aaron has placed 3 to 4 different Atari orders with Best Electronics. This time Aaron wanted take advantage of Best's CX52 Exchange Joystick program (the most cost effective method) and sent in two CX52 Joystick cores for exchange for some of Bests Reconditioned / Upgraded CX52 Gold dot Lifetime Joysticks. "Wow! These CX52 Gold Joysticks have completely exceeded my (high) expectations! They are a pleasure to use and make the 5200 as it should always have been. Thanks for your continued efforts on this front! Realsports Baseball is so much fun to play with these joysticks!!" Aaron did notice a minor problem on his 5200 console, where the game cursor on some 5200 games would not go to the far right. He read the Best CX52 Joystick trouble shooting sheet that we include with each Best CX52 Gold Joystick. One E-Mail back and forth to Aaron, Best concluded that his 35+ year Atari 5200 console had drifted off the Atari Factory 5200 port settings very very slightly. So Aaron arranged to Call Best Electronics with his 5200 console near the phone and Best talked him thru the very very minor port adjustment Aaron had to do on his old 5200 motherboard. A total time on the phone of less that 5 minutes and Aaron's 35+ year old Atari 5200 console was again back to the Atari 5200 Factory port settings. All of Aarons 5200 game cursor problems of not going the far right went away.
James R. of CA James placed his very 1st Atari order with Best in early May. It was for a New in the box Atari 65XE Computer and the Best Rev. 10 all Atari catalog. He placed his 2nd Atari order for some New boxed Atari 8 bit software, a New boxed Atari XM301 Modem and an Atari collector pin mid May. Mid June he placed his 3rd Atari order for a reconditioned Atari XF551 Disk Drive and a New box of Verbatim 5 1/4 DSDD Floppy disks. "I received the floppy drive order this evening. So happy!!! You guys really did put the ‘best’ in best-electronics!! Thanks a million!!!"

I
over paid for an
Atari
item!
E-Bay is a great place for Atari Bargains, but over the
last 14 to 15+ years we have seen Atari E-bay bidders
over pay for thousands of New and
Used Atari items that have No
Warranty at all, when Best Electronics has the exact same
New Atari item in stock for less money
with the normal Atari 90 Day
Warranty
(same Atari
Warranty for the last 33+ years) and in most cases with cheaper shipping
charges.
So when you find an Atari item on E-Bay you are thinking about bidding on,
suggest you come to the Best Atari Web site to find if Best Electronics has the
same New Atari item in stock. Remember that not all of the over 5,000+
Atari items we have in stock are listed at this Atari web site, only the more
popular ones we get requests for. If you can not find it on this all Atari
web site, send us an
