Bill, The second machine is not shrink wrapped, but then they weren’t, even when sold. It is taped closed, with TI original tape. If anyone’s interested, let me know. No idea on functionality. The first one powers on, and generates a grey screen, via RF modulator. Via my homemade composite audio/video cable, I get no video, but a single tone on audio. I’m going to fix that one, but I was hoping that someone here had repair experience.

'Shocking!' ... see what I did there? :)
I'd just use them and not worry about being collectors' items. Even new-ish in box is not worth much. Most people would rather have a working TI99 than a new in box, unless it's really new, shrinkwrapped. Otherwise it's just an "excellent condition" or "near mint" common baseball card.
