opcode Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Just got word from Ben that the foams will start manufacturing this Monday. So I should receive them the week after that. Edited March 9, 2013 by opcode 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ok, so just to sum up where we stand. Of all components, we are still missing: - Box and manual. However those have been shipped, so they should be here next week. - Foam. Will start manufacturing this Monday, should be available the week after that. - Nameplate. Will go into production next week. Should be available the week after that worst case. Foam was always supposed to come last, for a single reason: 250 foams will take quite some space and I have no storage space. As I mentioned before, I will have everything ready so that I can start shipping the day I receive the foams. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColecoDan Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have those games but I am real interested in seeing Zaxxon and Dragon's Lair since I never had an adam to play them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomjscott Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have those games but I am real interested in seeing Zaxxon and Dragon's Lair since I never had an adam to play them. I never had Zaxxon, but I used to own the Dragon's Lair game when I first got my Adam back in the day. I sold that system though and now just have the Buck Rogers Super Game. I definitely liked the Dragon's Lair game, but it is very different from the arcade game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed1475 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Tons of nicely offset printed manuals. Now 100% correct. Awesome looking manuals. However, on page 3, I never knew that was where the Adam power switch was located. I always thought that was the game reset switch.

Pixelboy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Awesome looking manuals. However, on page 3, I never knew that was where the Adam power switch was located. I always thought that was the game reset switch. Whoops! You spotted an error there! That's indeed the location of the cartridge reset switch, not the power switch!

opcode Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 S***!!! I think Dale goofed up there... Oh well, I am not going to do a third reprint.... We are going to live with that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 A small error...I'm sure original Coleco manuals had errors too... Does Terry Fowler at eColeco still have the 800 number though??? He may be getting some surprise calls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 It is unbelievable. We checked and rechecked this thing a million times. Of course I know that isn't the ADAM's power switch, but Dale doesn't, and I never noticed that. I guess I was paying more attention to the illustration itself than the information on it.

There is going to be a addendum sheet with the manual, stating things like copyrights, Coleco Holdings rights, credits, and of course a note about real support service.

NIAD Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Awesome looking manuals. However, on page 3, I never knew that was where the Adam power switch was located. I always thought that was the game reset switch. Man, I wish the On/Off Switch for the ADAM was located there. It would be a helluva lot more convenient than reaching around to the back of the Printer or to a place where you have an external power supply located. I say this error in the manual gives it a bit of character and authentic Colecoism, especially when it comes to anything related to the ADAM and ADAM manuals.

That (800) number nearly put Terry in the poor house. Talk about "Live and Learn". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
