MegaManFan Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 No power supply or hook-ups come with this one. I tested it using the PS and TV switch from another Coleco and the title screens all come up with the words scrambled. "INSERT CARTRIDGE BEFORE TURNING POWER ON" comes up looking like "IGSJTR ADGSEMBMSE BAETSJ DDSGKJSGDNG DGSGJ AW" so obviously something is wrong with it internally, though +maybe+ some on the boards is expert enough to fix it. I originally spent $40 on this piece of... on eBay a couple years ago, but since I want to unload it to make space, I'd let it go for $10 + the cost of shipping. I was originally going to sell it to an AA user for $25 before I realized how horked it was and refunded his money. *heh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 It's the power switch, I guarantee it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 It's the power switch, I guarantee it. Yup, I had to recondition my power switch because it would come on all fuzzy and scrambled. (Works great now) Also my power plug wasnt very tight on the prongs in the system and any movement would make it go scrambled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Yup, I just had to change out the power switch on one of mine. That's why I keep 3 extras around for spare parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Okay, let's just presume this is an Iowa usage and move on, mm'kay? Looks like the unit is sold anyway (just awaiting confirmation and payment). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Actually, it is. "Hustler" implied "theft" so they dropped it in favor of "Gazer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
