slydc Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi folks! Just wondering if anyone here has good scans of cart #2, #3 boxes and/or manuals. I'm also looking for screenshots if nobody has scans of the boxes. I have many pictures but they are too small to see "exactly" how the games looks like. Thanks in advanced! --- Sly DC --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walter_J64bit Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 WOW, have anyone made any Homebrew games for this System? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydc Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks for the infos but i finally got myself my second Coleco Telstar Arcade with all FOUR game carts!!! The second one i got has everything (boxes, pistol, extra paddles, etc..) BUT i don't any any instruction sheets/manuals for the system of extra carts. So does anyone here has those sheets/manual and could scan them ? I will REALLY, REALLY and GREATLY appreciate it!! And i'll post the scans on my web sites (for archival proposal) so that anyone (like me) are missing the manuals could view or download them to enjoy the games properly. Just e-mail me at: "slydc[NOSPAM](A commercial)yahoo.ca" (delete the [NOSPAM] and replace the (A commercial) by the proper character. =) Thanks in advanced!! =) --- Sly DC --- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncontrol Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I just recieved a Coleco Telstar Arcade, but mine does not have the power brick. I was wondering what do I need to power this system? Wil the brick from an Atari 2600 work on it? I too would like copies of any instruction sheets/manuals that came with this system. Thanks in advance for any help from someone who has this info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydc Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 That i can answer, the AC adaptor has an ouput of 9 volts DC with 200mA (milli-Amperes or 0.2 Amps) and the tip of the plug is positive (not negative or you might fry the circuits). Hope this helps! =) --- Sly DC --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alecito Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) hi, i can provide some photos of the original power supply, and some ads that came along with the system, i.e. for cart 2,3 and 4. On this pic you can also see the first page of the original manual - so if anyone is still interested, i can scan this manual and share it with you; if so, pls respond. @power adapter: see also here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/62019-coleco-telstar-arcade-question/?do=findComment&comment=759862 bye ale Edited April 8, 2015 by alecito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'd love to see any documentation (manuals, ads, cart instructions) for this system. Me and the rest of the community would appreciate any scans you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 yeah I just got one of these I'm trying to get fully functional again. seeing the original game documentation would help a great deal & would be much appreciated. mine has a picture of the race car with cart #1 in it , but I don't see the edges of the track & game doesn't start ... I do have cart #2 but colors seem off there as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Wow. I remember playing this system back in the 70's when my family went to a dinner party at my dad's bosses house or something like that. I haven't seen another (picture or anything) until now. I didn't remember what company the console was from. But still, I find it odd that I never stumbled across one on line at some point since I have done many searches on Goggle and Ebay, etc, for Coleco products. I have 4 different Telstar Pong/hockey consoles, one is even color, and a Colecovision, and have done lots of research into the Coleco Adam. But I never stumbled across the Coleco Telstar Arcade...

simbalion Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This is one the systems I keep hoping to run across in my travels, but I usually just find the regular Telstar systems. I have a couple of those and it looks like the Telstar Arcade uses the standard power brick used for the other Telstar systems. Both of mine came with the optional power bricks and both those work. My Telstar Ranger was sitting out in the rain at a friend's place and I found the box and other parts under his storage building of all places! It still works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Got one of these complete with outer box and inner cardboard inserts with all the original paper work. Everthing works but but if it's set to the higher rf modulator channel it shows b/w. Then switch to lower ch or play with it a little bit the color comes back. Reflowed the solder and cleaned with contact cleaner and seemed to help a little. Anyone else ever heard of this or have this problem? How do I fix it? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas10e Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Will that take care of the unit on startup being in b/w instead of color? it may , I'm not sure there is another adjustment on the RF box but don't know what that does either there is also an adjustment on the main board but I didn't see any changes when messing with it ( I usually place it back to the position it was in when I started looking at orientation of the writing on the screwdriver handle .... not very scientific ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
