  1. I purchased a new Quadrun from a hoarder's house so it wouldn't shock me if someone found an Air Raid in a house.

     

    From the seller of Quadrun -

     

    "They were rescued from a hoarders house by a close friend. The story I've heard was they were buried in a 3rd floor closet, with decades of junk outside the door. The guy lots of other atari items, some not so rare and some that got lost or tossed. You should be glad because you got a great deal and the quantity is extremely limited on my end."

    I don't know who Allen is, is there a way to contact him? :)

     

    Allen Schweitzer - AtariAge Forums

     

    If you decide that do not want to deal with the repair then Allen might be able to sell you a working system or maybe you could send your system to him and have him repair it.  He is known for being very good at what he does.  He also sells reproductions of very hard to find Astrocade games.

    If the choice is between the two, and I can only purchase one - 
     

    which one would you all recommend that I buy?

    Thanks in advance! 🙏

    I had to make the same choice today.  I went with the original because I am not a fan of the scrolling mazes.  Bob DeCrescenzo is an absolute Atari 7800 genius.  I am sure both games are excellent and you won't go wrong choosing either or both.

    I'm sure you will do well scalping them on ebay as your track record shows you're sure to do. :roll:

     

    I can't remember the last time that I sold anything on eBay.  It has been years.  The last time that I sold on a regular basis was more than 10 years ago but thank you for thinking about me.

  6. Did AtariAge ever sell Sirius & Plutos?  I know that CPUWIZ sold some many years ago.  I don't see either one on the last chance sale list and I can't remember if either were ever in the store.  There are so many games that I would like to buy but I currently have over $1,500 in games in my cart.  I need to cut my list way back.

  7. Do all of your other cartridges work on your system?  I have had issues before that I was able to fix.  I saw that you cleaned the contacts.  I would try cleaning again with rubbing alcohol on a qtip.  If that doesn't help you can open up the cartridge by unscrewing, it and then try to clean the contacts with a pencil eraser.  

     

    It has been a long time since I have messed with my Astrocade.  I believe that I had some carts that didn't work, and I cleaned the contacts on the system itself with a qtip with rubbing alcohol but I could be thinking of a different system.
