Wanted: Known Good 5200 Controllers!

[Albert]

Greetings,

 

I need to get my hands on at least two known good 5200 controllers as quickly as possible.  I really just need them to test something on the 5200 systems I have here, as both of the controllers I have here have...issues (all the good ones are apparently in Portland!)  So I can either buy them outright or you could temporarily loan them to me, and I'll send them back as soon as I'm done with my testing.

 

Please send me a PM if you can help out. 

 

Thank you!

Hi Al! I wish can help you with the 5200 controller. I bought some new controllers for the 7800 and they do make 5200 controllers, but it cost too much. I have seen them on Ebay, but not a big fan of Ebay. charles b.

Al, send the controllers you have to me and I will get rebuild kits on order for them. I can get those kits in a few days usually as I just use up the last I had on hand from the some 5200 service requests I've been doing recently.

 

I just ordered some more kits to have on hand. If for some reason there isn't time to get them quick enough, then I could send you my two working controllers from my actual 5200 and then rebuild yours and switch them back out at that point.

I have two I can send you that got rebuilt in June. Get them out today via Fedex or UPS.

Yeah, I can do that.  I wish I had more here I could send you, but they are all up in Portland!  Things are in a bit of flux at the moment, as I'm already half moved out of this house.    I'll talk to you in PM or on Discord.

Someone else has two good, working controllers that I am borrowing to do the testing done, so I'm now good there, thank you.  Now, if someone wants to sell me known, good, working controllers as well, I'd certainly entertain that.

 

Thank you,

So we can move this to the wanted section now?

Ha, seems like there should be a new rebuild service for these... I replaced the mylar bits in my controllers and they've been fine since.  I think I still have a spare set as well.  Though I also tracked down the Wico controller, though I don't have the little duplex thing for Space Dungeon / Robotron 2084 for that controller.
