0078265317 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Was thinking of buying one of these adapters for my 5200 arriving soon. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/110962-fs-home-grown-atari-5200-masterplay-clone/page__fromsearch__1 . But still need a wico y cable. How rare are these? And is ebay the only place or does any one else have the y cables. Ebay is 25. Seems a bit high or is that normal?

tz101 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Wico y cables are like hen's teeth. I have one that came with my setup from a yard sale, but epay prices are what they are. Don't know, but you may try Best Electronics or this link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tz101 Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Another nice solution to 5200 controllers is Bohoki's PC controller adapter cables. He is a regular here on the forums and makes a nice product. I have two of them and lots of PC controllers. Great thing is that DB-15 PC controllers are readily available at many thrifts and flea markets, if not ebay and Amazon. I have an arcade PC stick that works great on everything I have thrown at it on the 5200. Or, if you have Atari 5200 stock controllers and want them refurbed, I offer a service for parts price only, not charging for my labor and time. FYI.

0078265317 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I'm getting a trackball and 3 controllers so will see in a few days when it arrives. Will let you all know what came. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
