    Gave my Atari 2600 a bubble bath, well.. the plastic top casing that is. It must have felt weird getting a bath for the first time in 36 years. :)

      @ jd_1138 - Actually, I put a tiny bit of cleaning Pledge to give it a bit of a shine, but not a lot to where it looks wet. When I get done putting it back together tomorrow, I'll post an image here.

    Donkey Kong for Atari 2600 looks like a gingerbread man, along with Jumpman/Mario having to dodge those genie lamps heading his way. Ha!

    Working on cleaning the 1978 Atari 2600 that was given to me, and finding out I need new parts inside the CX40 joystick, including a new PCB board.

      @carlsson - I enjoy replacing things that are broken, including joysticks or anything that has to do with gaming, it's almost like a hobby for me. It's something I don't have to do, but I enjoy doing it. Thanks for the comment.

      @Polybius - I can't solder well due to my hands, but I plan on purchasing a new PCB board for my joystick. Thanks for the comment. :)

      @Keatah - Thank you for replying. The board is fine, it's just the dome contacts are so old, and I have a hard time soldering, so I figured just getting a new board would do the trick. I think radioshack sells the connectors, via online, not sure. I guess I could solder them if I was very careful.

      @save2600 - Ha! Thanks. The Atari 2600 was given to me in great condition, just upgrading some parts due to normal wear.
