scotty Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 After 10-11 years of dreaming, mine is out for delivery today!!! Suprisingly with the mail being so slow, it got from Oregon to Ohio a LOT quicker than I anticipated, even without the slow down. Merry Christmas!! Thank you Fred!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon usually doesn't lie, let's see. Bam, 12:30pm. Got my Concerto at the same time. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool80skid Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Another Dumb Question:? Will the Concerto work on a stock Atari 2600 with the Harmony Encore firmware? I apologize in advance if this was already addressed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Concerto is a 7800 cartridge, so it has a wider connector with more contacts. It can't physically plug into a 2600. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so - 7800 carts have a different (physically wider, more pins) cartridge PCB edge connector as compared to 2600 carts. There are 8 more pins - two more pads on either side, front and back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone made an adapter kind of like the Lock-on 2600 to convert the 7800 card edge to fit into a 2600, then theoretically it could work, but no such adapter exists that I know of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I look forward to getting mine hopefully soon, as I hear Fred is focusing on those who reserved theirs, it should be easy as it's only going from Portland up I-5 to here in Port Townsend, I'll let you guys know when I get mine. Thanks Fred (and @CPUWIZ)!!! Happy Holidays!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BTW< a number of us who actually paid still don't have shipment info so just cool your jets, man. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were ready to ship when listed and somehow I fell through the cracks... Hoping it arrives before Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think everyone needs to be patient, this isn't Amazon. I also successfully ordered on the 9th (score!) and still waiting for a ship notice, but fully realize this is a handmade product made by a hobbyist so it may take a bit. I'm just grateful to all the folks part of the AtariAge scene who enable me reliving my Atari-fueled youth. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just grateful to all the folks part of the AtariAge scene who enable me reliving my Atari-fueled youth. Myself as well. I'm proud to have been an Atarian since summer 1982 (I got my original 5200 for my 17th Birthday, May 19, 1983) and nowadays, especially with the pandemic hitting (almost) all of us, I'm even more proud than ever, and am even proud to currently own all 4 major platforms of cartridge-based systems (2600, 5200, 7800, and 65XE/XEGS). And during my current time of being a (temporary) shut-in, due to my 2002 Beetle being down with a short in the electrical system, my units have kept me busy and well-occupied (and from going completely nuts), and being an Atarian right now is the BEST method in this day and age of "social distancing" I (or perhaps many of you as well) can highly recommend to all of you at this time.

bikeguychicago Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 (edited) Just reserved mine. 3 multicarts down (Intellivison, 2600 and 7800), only 4 to go (Colecovision, 5200, N64 and Genesis) -- until I start making googly-eyes at the O2 and TI-99/4A again, or finally get a Vectrex. Maybe I should start a GoFundMe page! Edited December 21, 2020 by bikeguychicago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DrVenkman Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Hey Fred - any word on the 12/9 orders going on yet? Just want to make sure I haven't missed an email or deleted something by accident. Sorry to bug you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
