walter_J64bit Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) I got my hands on a like new 5200 from a local flea market today and the Joystick only seem to work games that use the top fire buttons.

strangedogs Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I found literally 100+ 2600 carts at one Flea Market Yesterday - we have a 5 page list compiled right now of street values and the rare ones so I'm going back this coming Sat. - this guy will sell em for $1.00 or $2.00 I'm sure, plus he's 70 years old so probably doesn't realize he might have a friggin' Gold Mine.

walter_J64bit Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 (edited) I've got that 5200 joystick back in working order! All I'd was glue some aluminum foil on the silicone pads!

+Cafeman Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Awesome score! It looks like the pink wrapping is still over the metal parts right? My 5200 ... it's certainly not in good shape. Busted controller door and the casing shifts when you pick it up. But you don't throw your mom away when she gets old, and you don't throw your 5200 away either. !

I don't think this 5200 was used at all. Edited October 12, 2008 by walter_J64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I wish I could find a pristine 5200. Mine is functionally sound but the case has really taken a beating over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
