I was at a lgs about 45 minutes from me and he had a broken intellivision and an untested 2600 with no power supply for $25. He said the intellivision refused to power on and had been returned so he left it on the shelf for a few years. I'm fairly certain it will be there in a few weeks when I'm driving back through there. Is this a decent price and how much can it cost to repair a broken unit? Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Wow thats some nice stuff Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Don't actually own all of those systems. I have a 2600jr, 7800, Super Retro Trio, N64, Ps2, Game Cube with gameboy player, wii and ps3. Looking to add a Colecovisio and XBox 360 next. PS4 and possibly Intellevision and a regular Genesis with 32x. I play everything but the 7800 (which is broken), the n64 which my wife usually plays and the actual gamecube (sees a ton of use for the gameboy player) at least a few times a month. Ps3 is my most used as I play all my ps1 games on it. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Funny you bring this up. I have been buying plastic cases with custom artwork for my 3rd and 4th gen consoles off ebay for 5-10 bucks. I haven't seen these for Atari games though. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Thank you very much. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Does anyone on here mod 7800's? Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Well I plugged it back in and the power button flashed once and then nothing. Took it apart and found nothing obvious wrong tried it again and got a single flash and nothing after. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

I think I will eventually get my 7800 modded. I did happen to check out electronic sentimentality but he has taken a hiatus as his wife has cancer. I will check out the guy on ebay. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

So I picked it up yesterday and spent an hour with qtips and rubbing alcohol cleaning the port and the carts inside and out. Fired it up and was able to play the 7800 version of ms. Pac Man. I tried one other 7800 cart and about 5 2600 carts and venture is the only one that would boot up but it doesn't play. The port feels fairly loose and the controllers are pretty unresponsive also. Is it a game and peripheral problem or a console problem? I owned a 2600 as a kid in the early 90s and haven't touched one since so I have no idea how the cartridges should fit and what the controllers felt like new. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Yes and I can't figure out how to edit. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

I just had another guy unload a box of 2600 games and 2 weird joysticks. They are black abd yellow with two buttons on the base and a trigger and top bottom on the stick. Never seen them for Atari but I remember a similar style for NES and Pc's back in the 8p'd Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Btw i tried to pm you but I can't access my mailbox right now for some reason. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

I actually found one at my lgs on lunch today. I wasn't fully ready to pull the trigger but it was guaranteed to work and had 2 7800 sticks, 2 2600 sticks and 5 games for 50 bucks. I couldn't pass it up for that price. I live in a college town and anything older than ps3 is retro and 16 bit consoles are the stone age. Now I just need to get some decent controllers and check out the homebrews. Any rpgs for this system? Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Pm sent. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

I'm seeing 70-100 for eBay completed auctions. Unless they have tons of games or the box. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

I have only ran across one in my area and that was last year when I wasn't looking. Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

What is a fair market price for a working 7800? Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk

Hi I'm Marc and I have a problem. JK, I'm sure everyone here has the same issue. I have consoles with the ability to play games from 13 systems so I love versatility as it saves space, wiring and sometimes money. However I am looking to get into 2nd gen consoles from scratch. I know I want a Colecovision and 2600 at the least. I was wondering if the 7800 can completely replace the 2600. If it can do everything the 2600 can I will hold out for one of those. What percentage of the games work on it, what is the controller situation like, is it a bear to find tv connectors for? Just basic questions before I trek all over the midwest to find one.
