[Composite mod hardware availability]

Thanks! I was actually on the phone with Frank as he searched the various stores, including Electronic Sentimentalities, and he said that they were all out of stock. This is why I decided to post here instead of doing a search because I believed that we had checked all of the known sources. Glad we were incorrect.

[Composite mod hardware availability]

My 4 port has been sitting at Classic Game Junkie for 2 months now as Frank has been unable to locate a source for the composite mod. So I come to you, fellow brothers, in hopes of locating a source for said hardware. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

[What is a current (2017) price for a working Vectrex system?]

I never knew that the Vectrex had a carrying case! Looks rad and expensive. Never saw one at Classic Game Junkie but that does't mean Frank does not have one in his store basement.

[What is a current (2017) price for a working Vectrex system?]

My local store charges $220 with one controller and a one year warranty.

[Tanglewood Kickstarter]

I swear I saw a total of $96. I just assumed the exchange rate was horribly skewed against the dollar and I withdrew my purchase without any further investigation. So looking at today's exchange rate of 1.29 dollars per sterling pound I arrive at a price of $77.40. Is shipping additional? That is all I can think of other than the scenario that I misread the invoice. Unfortunately since the Funding window has closed I can't double check which is correct. It would suck if I was in error because I really did want a copy.

Today is the last day to acquire a copy. I really wanted a copy but I just cannot justify spending $96 on a new game.

For a brilliant take on this topic check out Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris.

[What furniture do you use to accomodate your machines?]

Do not neglect to search for local furniture manufacturers. It is possible to find decent prices if you choose a less expensive wood plus you can have it made, and stained, to your specifications.

[Any Intellivision owners in NJ/PA/DE up for repairs?]

Frank fixed my Colecovision and he pretty much told me he was willing to tackle any repair.

If this store isn't too far from you then I recommend you give them a call.

[Bargain Hunters challenging Pat the NES Punk over Atari game prices]

I see Pat and Ian at Too Many Games every year. They spend a lot of time at their tables and are much more accessible than most other youtube "celebrities". I hope Ian's health doesn't prevent him from attending this year as I really enjoyed watching the CU Podcast live recording last year. Ian btw is suffering from Nerve Entanglement Syndrome. Yes Ian has NES.

They (briefly) had a brick and mortar store about a 1/4 mile from my house. Terrific people. The one guy I talked to said he is involved in a podcast. I think it was RF Generation but don't quote me on that.

I recall Activision using a single box for multiple systems but cannot recall which method they used to identify which system the box was for.

[Got a Colecovision and 2 weeks later it stopped working]

Thanks for the reply!

[Got a Colecovision and 2 weeks later it stopped working]

Just got my first Colecovision since '84 and it is certainly a lot better system than I remember it to be. Unfortunately I noticed that not all of my carts would load properly with some requiring a flick of the reset switch. Eventually this morphed in to me having to insert, remove, and reinsert the cart 5 or 6 times before it worked. Now my carts will only work if I maintain a constant downward pressure upon the cart while it is inserted which is not possible. Is this malady typical with this system? Is there a way to avoid this from happening? Fortunately the store I purchased it from offers a 1 year warranty so I can return it so I will be able to replace it but I certainly do not wish to have this problem occur in the future.

Sorry if this has been posted but Pat Contri picked up a Neo Geo in the wild on the latest episode of Flea Market Madness.

 

[Wanted - Boulder Dash for Atari 5200]

I saw one on Ebay on Tuesday with a BIN of $200. I was at work when I saw it and couldn't do anything about until I got home and by then it was gone. Not too wounded because of the upcoming Colecovision version being released by Collectorvision. Gotta ask: Were there more than one version of Boulder Dash released for the 5200?

I am not familiar with this company there are some excellent designs available. Not solid wood but veneered MDF if that makes a difference. http://www.venturehorizonstore.com/shop/product-category/media-storage/

One thing that most people overlook is local furniture manufactures. Choose your color and customize to your liking.

Although this option may cost a little more you can cut some of that cost by making pine your wood of choice.
