Osgeld Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I have sold a bunch of system's bought off ebay dead, which end up being dirty contacts. Clean everything, give the case a bath toss in some stuff to get someone started, its all good But not this machine! What I have is a sears tele-games video arcade (2600) bought off ebay and stone dead. I got it working by cleaning all the switches, cart slot, replacing voltage regulator ... the usual stuff but there's some things with this machine I am not happy with, so while normally I would charge 85$ shipped for a six switcher with mods, 2 super common games and a controller, I am letting this one go for 60$ shipped to the continental USA What I dont like about it right hand controller port has broken plastic, though it works fine av ports and power led holes are out of whack cause I dropped my durn drill from 6 foot up onto concrete and now it wobbles the silver label has become unstuck and bowed up under the cart port, and I go messing with it, im going to make things worse most importantly there is video artifacts aside from the normal jailbars in a av mod of this sort, see screenshot of pole position where it shows up the worst on my 720p bench tv what you get with it composite modded 2600 stereo mod with stereo / mono option via toggle switch on back av cable generic power supply oem controller (with a few cat or small dog chew marks) but brand new dome switch contacts, so it plays like a hot damn forgot to add, main reason it was dead was a bad RIOT chip, replaced with a new old stock bought from jameco 60$ shipped, Continental USA, and paypal only please, basically covers cost's and saves a otherwise decent machine from the dump, which is where it was headed before I got wind Edited December 12, 2016 by Osgeld 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 How is this still available? If you are lurking in these forums wondering about what it would be like to play Atari - buy this. You will find games and controllers easily from other members. This is the best deal you will get on a modded system. The things Os is complaining about don't really matter, you will love this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
