    SOS....I have a Tandy Color Computer 2 and an older TV with an RF input (The twisty one)...I want to hook up the COCO but I don't have the RF cable....when I use a yellow cable through a modulator all I get is static over the screen (can make out the green start screen barely...help....anyone with a coco rf setup?

      Tried to post this in classic computing but no dice....any place to buy a coco hookup...

      You will have better luck with an actual RF cable. Using A/V cables usually does result in a bad RF picture. Ive not tried this cable but it will probably work better for you http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103847

      Thanks everyone.....well I went to Radio Shack for that cable and they didn't have it in stock but I solved the issue with a little luck and creative thinking....I purchased an RF adaptor and plugged the male end into the coco....connected the coaxial cable to the female end and connected the other side to the rf on the TV ....works perfect.....just an FYI if anyone is having trouble....cost me all of 3.80 :)

    Thought I'd throw this out there....I have an Indy 500 Picture label cart that has a P on it...I don't see this in the atariage database of carts...maybe I didn't look hard enough :) Assuming its not rare but is it?

      No. It's just a PAL version.

      Ok Thanks! Just didn't see that in my Atariage game list whereas others had a P listed on there....Thanks!

      How bad is the damage?

      Well here's the great news.....nothing cosmetic....BUT when I plug it in the disc trey ejects and refuses to go back in....exactly the opposite of what many people have happen with the trey not coming out...ugg..the unit appears like it was repacked by FED-EX based on a label affixed to the box....most have incurred some decent damage during shipping

      Just posted an ad in the wanted for repairs if anyone can fix this sort of thing...have cash to pay if its reasonable o course :)

  4. FikapPacMan

      Always use a surge protector. These things can get fried if you use the wall plug.

    Just bought a high end 32 switch studio rack AV switcher at an auction yesterday.....finally one switch unit to rule them all :)

      I never knew they made such a thing. Sounds awesome.

    2. FikapPacMan

      FikapPacMan

      Haha...neither did I...saw it at Auction and had to spend 30 minutes googling it before bidding.....won it for 15 dollars ....it is shaped like an older recording studio rack that would fit into a small tower...3 thin racks with 10 switches each.....pretty rad

      Thank you! And I hope it's not shutting down tomorrow!

    4. FikapPacMan

      FikapPacMan

      No problem....I really should have done this sooner :) Sometimes its easy to forget all the great things this site does for the family and kids on a weekly basis it seems :)

    Never would stoop this low but if I would have put our generator on Craigslist here I could have been half way toward buying Red Sea Crossing for real....people are scalping then for 2500 here....its a shame...

  10. FikapPacMan

    Had three experiences now this week when people who are new put up for sale threads (make offer) and then promptly replied back after intrest that they were going the EBAY route.......maybe we should all start to collect fee's as appraisers...ugghhhh

    1. TheGameCollector

      TheGameCollector

      yeah I mean when I do it nowadays I try to start vwith a price then depending on what the item is, being talked down to a lower price is ok. As long as it wasn't something that took extreme effort and overpayment to find

      The MMAO discussion thread is pretty good with some great responses.

      Dang, I'm doing the opposite. Most of my stuff has been up online for a while and not selling so I have come here and have made lots of deals in the past few months. Thanks AtariAge for giving people another outlet to buy/trade their stuff!

    What's a good buying price for a CIB decent shape atari 7800 game

    1. jmetal88

      jmetal88

      Depends on what it is. I got Dig Dug sealed, I believe, for $8. Of course for $8, I had no problem opening it and playing it.

  12. FikapPacMan

    Haha...forgot that this existed...a young Jack Black advertising Pitfall for the 2600.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_AtNY0bYAA
