Atari-Jess Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 hmm id say its time to find a new atari there pal, unless you want to open it up and force them makeshift pins in, but id just get a...new(?) one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 If you have any soldering skill, You can replace the socket. You should be able to pick up a replacement socket for around $1 at any electronics store. Mitch http://atari7800.atari.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
