hi can anyone supply me with a rubber boot for the Atari CX40 joystick? the early sunnyvale ones which had the springs inside and were of much better quality the rubber boot was identical to the later type only it didn't need the plastic retaining ring on the joystick as the boot had "clips" to hold it in that's why i need this boot i will consider any condition can pay instantly with paypal

am still looking for the parts if anyone can help please.. preferably in the UK thanks

if anyone has any i'm after the top half of the metal casing for inside an STE or STFM (could also do with a PSU cover too) i'm in the UK. please PM me thanks

Sounds like you have a problem with the fly-back transformer. I would contact best electronics, they probably have the service manual and parts. http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/ as i said in the first post, i'm looking for the sub brighness adjustment first if the tube or flyback transformer is going then it's all going in the bin!

that's for an SM 124 i'm looking for the schematic or info for an SM 146 even though they are both high res, they are very different monitors

hi all recently picked up a rare SM 146 high resolution monitor which works fine but has a dim screen opening it up there are a few pots to adjust but no info around them! so basically i've no idea which one is the SUB brightness (i'm assuming there is one) if anyone has knowledge on this monitor that would be good, if not hence i'm looking for a schematic thanks

has anyone been to one of these Jagfest events in the past? are there lot's of buyers there etc and sellers? i'm thinking of going along to this one and check it out but would love to hear from anyone who's been to one

ALL mega ST's had fans, if your mega st 1 didn't have one then it had been removed best solution is to buy a new quieter type, i have done this with great results the dimensions are standard and are commonly used in small electrical devices good luck

hi just wondered if anyone knows of any events or fairs held in the UK for buying / selling retro consoles, general enthusiasts meets or where i could find out any info thanks

hi yes that's the one! as above i'd say it was in as good condition as the one shown, it's a loose cartridge, no box thanks

hi people i recently picked up some random carts for the VCS and one in the box is TIME MACHINE it has no make or other markings whatsover on the picture label or cartridge seems to be a shoot em up style game does anyone know if this is rare or not? thanks

hi it's not a heavy sixer, just a normal VCS (Atari Wong) Hong Kong model i've had it apart and there were some crap solders but they're good now, think i may remove the cart port and see what i find...

hi people i have a 6 switch VCS which works fine but! mostly when i switch it on whatever the game i use sometimes it comes on ready to use or more often either has a fuzzy / lines on screen / or whatever! it's different each time basically what i'm saying is i have to switch it on and off several times to get the game to play now i've cleaned ALL my cartridge contacts and it's the same problem with any game so that rules out the carts i've cleaned the cartridge port on the console the best i can with some light sand paper in the slot and blasted out any dirt still the same i've also taken apart and cleaned the contacts on the power switch still the same so can anyone help with the problem? could it be a dodgy cartridge port or maybe a failing component somewhere? any help appreciated thanks

i can sort the problem for you but as the other person said by the time you have sent it to me and i've sent it back to you that's £20! already (if you live in the UK that is) the only problem with the DMA issue and "getting another one off ebay" is that there is absolutley no way whatsoever of knowing if the machine has the bad DMA till you open it and physically look at the chip so when you go buy that cheap one on ebay basically you take pot luck, you maybe lucky or you may get another dodgy one! PM me if you want some help

TOS 1.06 and the bad DMA chip usually come together if you have a bad DMA then you will most likely have TOS 1.06 and vice versa could well be the dreaded STE DMA issue!

looks good what is the procedure for cleaning up the casing if it's yellowed?

actually i had a thought i have loads of boxed and mostly new ST/STE games if anyone wants to do swaps for ANY Lynx games i'm open to offers PM me for the list

thanks i'm in no rush and it would cost pennies to send a Lynx game anywhere coz it weighs nothing PM sent

ok well i'm looking for any game as cheap as possible just to test this console i'm in the UK

hi all i recently picked up an atari lynx mark 1 handheld game console anyway sadly i have no games for it what i wanted to know is (from someone who has one) is if you switch it on does the screen light up? or does it do anything WITHOUT a game inserted? i don't know if mine works or not as yet and don't want to start buying games if it's dead thanks

hi all i have a working 1040 STF motherboard, now of course these didn't have the RF modulator so they couldn't be used with a TV anyway i have a spare old type RF modulator from an early ST which was the larger type in a big silver box (this incorporated the RF modulator and circuit) and this fits straight in the blank space in the 1040 STF on the 1040 STF there are afew resistors and transistors in place of the where the modulator should go what i wanted to know is can i just simply solder in the modulator? or do i need to remove anything or add anything? surely someone has done this at sometime any advice would help thanks can take some pics if that would help.....
