Wolf9545 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Let's start a topic that has everyone's tricks and tips on cleaning a 2600 system and it's other parts. The tips and tricks can be the common ones that everyone knows. I always noticed that by having a game that doesn't always work, after cleaning the contacts with rubbing alcohol, I have to apply some pressure while turning the game on.

Voch Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Are we talking about the electronics or the plastics? I've removed the board/electronics from all my 2600s and have scrubbed the plastics with soap and water. I did the same for my (then very, very dirty and bug-infested) Atari 5200 that my coworker gave me. I say if the system is physically dirty and the electronics can be completely removed easily to just use soap-and-water to clean the plastic...

candiru Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Just don't use Armor-All I think what you're trying to say is be careful with the regular spray type and use the Armor All wipes instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf9545 Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 What I want in this topic is how to get the different problems ( when a game is playing you get a rolling screen, etc.) fixed. It can also be how to just simply clean the outside of the system or anything related to repair/fixing the system/controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
