DrLove0378 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) This week at the thrifts, I picked up "James Bond 007" and "Popeye" for the Atari 5200, both complete-in-box, for $1.99 each. And I don't even have a 5200. I also found two dirt-cheap, but nice looking, SNES (model 1) decks. One of them looked like it was from late in the SNES 1 life cycle, and had the UPC barcode/serial number label on the bottom of the system. It had a strange-looking power connector as well: it looked like two small metal prongs in the jack. (And there was no AC adapter to be found with the system.) Unless the original power jack got knocked out somehow, what sort of power supply would this use?

gulag picture radio Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 This isn't a find because I had to pass it up. At an antique store I visited today, they had three SEALED board games of Donkey Kong, Berzerk, and one more I'm not remembering. The problem? $40 each!

Unless the original power jack got knocked out somehow, what sort of power supply would this use? You guessed right: The original power jack was damaged. Those two little prongs are supposed to be within a plastic tab that helps hold the power connector in place. It will still work (assuming nothing else is wrong with the unit), but you'll have to be careful not to bump the cord or the console while it's on.

rustblackend Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 (edited) Happened upon a Video Game store a couple towns over that I didn't know that was there, here in NW Ohio. They pretty much had anything from NES-current. Fair prices for the most part and everything was pretty well organized. Anyway found some new additions to my gameboy collection: Wario Land III $8 Game and Watch Gallery $4 Game and Watch Gallery 3 $4 Beavis and Butthead FREE for buying the other 3 Wario Land $4 Wario Blast $6 Edited February 20, 2007 by rustblackend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickHarrisMaine Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Kind of a funny little story here. Was on Digitpress today, and came close to buying what I thought was a complete Bleemcast Metal Gear Solid for $16 shipped. I thought it was going to be the Bleem disc, and the actual game, but the guy was surprised I would think that (sorry, the Bleem by itself is fairly useless, so I figured complete would be more than just the disc---whatever), and said no way. So on the way home from work, I stop into the Goodwill, and they have a whole lot of nice PS1 games, including a mint condition (not a scratch on the discs or the case) Metal Gear Solid, original one too, not a greatest hits. $4.99.

DrLove0378 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 You guessed right: The original power jack was damaged. Those two little prongs are supposed to be within a plastic tab that helps hold the power connector in place. It will still work (assuming nothing else is wrong with the unit), but you'll have to be careful not to bump the cord or the console while it's on. Well, at least I have some spare parts now. Both of them cost me only $6, so I can't really be too sore about that. But today, I did a nice job at Goodwill! First of all, I found a nice boxed Commodore 64 (it even had the styrofoam spacers in there,) with an aftermarket power supply and TV cord (but no manuals, unfortunately,) for $19.99. I thought that was a bit too much, but what the hell. I plugged it in, and much to my surprise it worked! This is the first time I've EVER seen a working C64 power supply. (The power light came on, but I haven't tested it beyond that.) Also found a bunch of SNES games for 99 cents each. The dolt who owned these before wrote their name on the back of some of them, with a magic marker... UGH! Fatal Fury 2 - in box w/manual Final Fight 2 - in box w/manual Emmitt Smith Football Super Play Action Football Super High Impact ClayFighter Super Troll Islands Street Fighter Alpha 2 F-Zero Shaq Fu (perhaps I should have left that one behind... ) Killer Instinct Fatal Fury Fatal Fury Special I also learned the hard way: DON'T CLEAN YOUR CARTS WITH ACETONE! It eats the plastic! Thank God that it was just "Super High Impact" that I messed up, and not something rarer. This wasn't really a thrift find, but I felt like bragging about it anyway... I recently scored minty CIB copies of "Marvel Land" and "M.U.S.H.A." on eBay, for $22 and $80, respectively. Might seem like a lot, but they were well worth it. A couple of those SNES games I got today were somewhat rare, so I'll probably sell them to defray my recent purchases. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Forgot about these: Game Gear Ren & Stimpy Poker Face Paul's Solitaire Lemmings (a fave on the Amiga) Columns Solitaire Poker - $1 each I noticed something weird at a couple of antique stores. The dealers had set out a lot of board games, unbuilt model kits - especially HO model train houses. Is this a trend that's coming, or just a couple crazy stores down Broadway in Chicago?

Shroo-man Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 a few weeks ago I was a cash converters and picked up an Exocet Missile (Atari 2600) $3 - good condition. my brother got a black Nintendo 64 for $30, he thought it was only the console but it came with a joystick and all the cables. When he opened the expansion slot he found an expansion pack which I saw at cash converters today by itself for $40. While I was there I bought a Sega Saturn backup memory cartridge for $5 in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
