edweird13 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I found a 4-port at a yard sale with the switch box, power supply, 2 controllers, and 7 games for $10. The system works the only problem is player sprite moves constantly to the right no matter what controller is plugged in. I thin I read somewhere that this can be fixed by a pot adjustment inside the system. The controllers are crap of course the fire buttons dont work but that can be fixed. Tried the system with one of my good controllers and it moves constantly to the right but the fire buttons work. The games are Super Breakout Pac Man Defender Pole Position Missile Command Galaxian Centipede All of the with their overlays. Also found a Trak-Ball at another sale for $1 the only problem is the fire buttons dont work. Are these like the standard controller buttons? Can the be fixed the same way? All in all it was a great start to my weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all it was a great start to my weekend not bad. I've hit probably 30 yard sales so far this year and have and have come up with a grand total of 3 cd's. skid row, wasp, and dokken.

edweird13 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 Well I got the Trak-Ball working right. I love playing Missile Command with it. But the 4-port looks like it needs the 4052's replaced. I tried adjusting the pot on the system with no luck. I had had to replace the 4052's on my 2-port and I have a couple of extra chips laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Do all the controller ports behave the same way? Check for broken traces near the controller ports too. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edweird13 Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 I fixed it it was a bent pin on port 1 that was causing the problem. Now I have a working 4-port a 2-port and a Trak-Ball controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
