Djmicklovin Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) What you want for all of that? I wouldn't mind taking some of that stuff off your hands. ? Why do people keep stuff up in a hot attic or a damp, cold basement where it can get ruined? Edited February 13, 2022 by Djmicklovin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that is due to the lack of other suitable storage space. I used to store a very large quantity of books (and video games) in the basement of my Parent's house. I would have much preferred to have everything upstairs in climate controlled conditions, but they wanted to have furniture in their Living Room instead. (Happily everything survived and it is all now in a better, albeit less accessible, storage facility.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Helper Posted February 14, 2022 Author Share Posted February 14, 2022 He said he cancelled because he had some OSHA training for his job he forgot about. I am thinking the reason he stored it in his attic is because that is the only place he has for storage. Dude had 3 kids and lots of hobbies. His little garage area is stacked high full of shit I can't imagine what the attic looks like. I always stored all my stuff in my closet.

The Helper Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Dude blew me off. Come to find out he was just using it as an excuse so he did not have to do any of his weekend chores and drink. Eventually I will get up there and will deliver.

+cubanismo Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Hehe, what a jerk. This thread is the biggest let down of 2022. Besides that claim that some ST port provides pizza and fast cars. And that Jaguar mini being a hoax. And... Nevermind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it might work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Helper Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) So there is an update on this I got the full Jaguar and CD plus all the power supplies and cables necessary except for one thing... the CD lid is all fucked up. It will close if I work it but there is definitely something wrong with the cd tray lid top. The CD unit is all dusted up too I think I have a project here.

Machine Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Dude, that is so great! I am happy for ya! These things usually don't work out as time goes by. Glad you got it. There is a great guide on how to clean the jaguar. It is pinned to the top of the Jaguar section. @Gummy Bear did a great job on it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I think the jag holds up very well in the grand scheme of things compared to other consoles as long as the cart slot pins dont get mangled out of shape by an overzealous owner or incorrectly sized cart. Had atari jaguar/cd since 97, in that time my game cube died in 4 yrs, wii cd drive died 15 yrs, Xbox died after 3 yrs, I lost one 360 after 6months red ring replaced by Microsoft, author took 10 yrs to die, original nes, still works, but needed a extra cart on top of the cart to work. I have 3 jaguar systems and a jaguar cd never an issue out of any of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
