Inky Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I just came into a 5200 AND a VCS adapter.. Problem is, VCS adaptor's select and reset switches are busted off, and the 5200 is a 4 port that requires trhe proprietary switchbox, and, of course, no switchbox, no power supply, no joysticks, no games.. Grrr... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukey Shay Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Shame on you. That's five "Hail Mary"'s if you're Catholic. I know...I'd literally be doing aerobics if I were Catholic.

Nukey Shay Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Uh...if we were Catholic, that is. I'm an ex-athistic ex-Methodist, so it's OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrr... not to fan the flames too much but several of the 4-port 5200's don't accept the VCS adaptor without modification. Hopefully since yours was bundled together it will work fine once you get the machine running. Sorry I can't help you with the accessories to get your 5200 running but if you do find them along the way, I've got a bunch of common games I can send you, drop me a note.

As soon as I get some cash around Dec. 15th, I'm gonna search for the accesories.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I have an extra Realsports Baseball that I'll reserve especially for you. I don't know if you like baseball games like you like the Cubs but this is my favorite version of baseball for all the Atari consoles. The videogame critic was pretty happy with it too ( http://www.videogamecritic.net/baseball.htm ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The videogame critic was pretty happy with it too ( http://www.videogamecritic.net/baseball.htm ) I heard that was about the best of the baseball games on classic consoles... Cool! Now I just gotta get the connectors.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 Inky: I have a spare 4 port switchbox...I am sure we can find a trade or something for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 The way I see it is, even if it doesn't work, incomplete, etc., it still counts as a system to add to your collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted November 22, 2002 Author Share Posted November 22, 2002 The way I see it is, even if it doesn't work, incomplete, etc., it still counts as a system to add to your collection. Oh, agreed, definitely. But it will take a while to get the parts together. I don't even know if the thing works yet. Will one of those generic Radio Shanty AC adapters work with the 4 port switchbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I have an extra working 4 port switch box, few extra commons and 8 non-working joysticks (all need parts/modification). PM me if you'd like to buy/trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Atarius Maximus Posted November 22, 2002 Share Posted November 22, 2002 I would be interested in a working 4 port switch box in a trade! I just posted my trade list in the Marketplace forum, take a look here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=16680 Inky, I've got a few dirt-common 5200 carts I could mail you for the cost of shipping, PM me if you are interested.
