Dopy25 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I received a Christmas chimes 8 track in my secret Santa package this year so I thought I should find a player. I found this clean bad boy (oxymoron?) locally for a pretty good price in my opinion. It works but for whatever reason only at low volume. Turning it up massively increases the bass and overpowers everything. But hey it works at a low volume and it's gorgeous, inside and out. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 That's awesome. You can probably replace the capacitors in there and the audio would work properly again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also read that it might be an interference loop because the unit has a record option as well. I didn't get a chance to try to unstick the record button yet, but also found it can be disabled altogether. I will have this up and running to listen to Christmas chimes by this Christmas for sure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerpoco Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Getting pretty darned close- Rampage/Double Dragon came today, both are in gorgeous condition, I got pretty lucky! Obviously not all purchased today, but this is how close I am, haha, patches and CIB's! Private Eye and Space Shuttle patches are repros, BTW, rest is real deal.

CaptainBreakout Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 I've always kinda wanted one of these... $30 shipped. Untested. I think I made out pretty good on it, but I think it needs a bath. It looks like it's possible to do an A/V mod on these things. Kinda excited 'bout that 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Got this shrink-wrapped copy of Desert Bus from ebay. The seller was the programmer of the atari 2600 version ,and as a bonus, he also sent a prototype copy in case I wanted to spend eight hours "playing" the game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the best example of a game one collects and doesn't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Zenith (Space Command SF1315A) CRT. My phone doesn’t do it justice, but the TV has a great picture and the remote is original and barely used. So far, I’m very happy with the purchase. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ignore the little sad icon, I was kind of kidding)...;) Maybe you'll instantly replace the joystick, add ROMs and end up liking it...Myself I returned it almost instantly! (The Only "Mini" I've ever returned). It was a very frustrating product...I'm very surprised anyone likes these! (Usually the same people rip on Flashbacks - which work fine right out of the box...) Anyway, I wish you luck! And I'm kind of curious what you will think. (I'm usually so upbeat so I don't mean to be negative here, But I do wonder...) Let us know in the future won't you? Cheers!

Rogerpoco Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Little update, been working hard on the last pieces- Got River Raid 2 today(already had the faux-patch), and got Pitfall 2 and the patch for it a week or so ago! Only missing Beamrider, Cosmic Commuter, and Ghostbusters CIB, plus a handful of patches-a couple here are repro's, Private Eye, Space Shuttle, but 99% is real deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwh Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Here are some more... Zarkstars V:Stellar regular edition(bottom right), special edition that has a different poster(upper right), Prototype, development edition with a patch and other goodies.(upper left) Escape from Mars: Raw War Series #3. The box had so much bubblewrap, but it needed it for its trip from Brazil. Fallpit! from 2600 Connection Nite Bear/BLT Blast "flipcart" Infiltrator/Astrowar "flipcart" Pac-Man ,the one with all the bells and whistles, from Repentless Tomark the barbarian/ Motocross Racer from Xonox, kind of crappy but cheaper.

+sramirez2008 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 A new book. It arrived a couple of days ago. I've read through a fair bit of it and like it. IMO, the author does a good job at presenting each "curious" game machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejay Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I went to Tokyo over the weekend and raided a couple of Book-Offs near the Shinjuku area. I saw a lot of awesome stuff and a lot more that I contemplated on grabbing but a couple of places were charging pretty stupid prices so I passed on a ton of cool games. This ended up being around $120’s worth of stuff. Oh, and I went to Fuji Speedway to watch a Super GT race. My inner Gran Turismo nerd was rightfully and tremendously excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
