craigm71 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hello all! I was excited on a find on craigslist...at first he wanted $120...but I got him down to $80.00.. I think I got a hell of a deal but want to see what you all thought...everything works and for the most part, looks cosmetily good. For a bonus two of the boxed games I needed! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Incredible deal. Everything's gonna be peachy once those suckers get a bath and some polishing up. A worthy collection at a great sale value! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph74 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 System, 20 games (with one duplicate and assuming Turbo is in the styrofoam), Exp Mods 1 & 2 plus SA Controllers? Yeah, you got a deal I'd say. About half of what I'd expect to pay on Ebay pricing if everything is indeed functional! Nice find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIAD Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Awesome deal especially with everthing in working condition. I'd estimate a retail value of about $175 for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigm71 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks all, I got home and plugged it in and the graphics were off, like when my other Colecovision had the power supply go bad. I decided to clean the heck out of everything and things were working! After Dinner I was going to sit down with it and play a bit, but now the Colecovision goes right to game after the start up screen. I thought it was the controller, so I tried all the controllers I got today plug my Yuki modded controller that I know works. This happens even when I don't have a controller in! Besides that, I tested everything else and all is good, even if I cant figure out the Colecovision, I still think I got a great deal.

NIAD Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 You got a bad Octal Buffer IC for controller port #1 and this chip on the motherboard by the controller port needs to be replaced. You might as well replace the Octal Buffer IC for controller port #2 at the same time as well as add sockets for both of them and refurb the power switch. If you need someone to perform this work, Yurkie is the man to contact and even after repairs and shipping, you will still be ahead of the ballgame with what you paid for everything.
