Refurbishing and Mods:

You can send your ColecoVision to me for repair/refurbish/modding, or you can buy one. I started working on ColecoVision

to try and save as many systems as I could from ending up in the landfill.

Get your ColecoVision working like it was when it was new.

Console refurbished with A/V mod (cord included) and controllers cleaned, refurbished and modded with ball knobs and straightened cords for $89.

Refurbishing includes Power switch, cart slot cleaning. Controllers are completely dissembled and joystick contacts are refurbished and fire buttons are removed dissembled and refurbished.

Controller chip (automatic skill select or player movement is a sign controller chip is faulty), or single DRAM replacement $10 each when combined with $89 refurbish offer.

Additionally:

Add $35 for the Pause Button and $15 for the Intro Skip BIOS, or both together for $40 ( $10 savings)

Therefore a system sent to me can be refurbished and have all the mods I offer for $129 + return shipping

All my mods are shown in this Youtube video I made, with the exception of the Intro Skip BIOS.

Here is a link to my Intro Skip BIOS thread

http://www.atariage....nstall-offered/

and here is a link to my profile. I have links to all my mod threads on my profile.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Items For Sale:

ColecoVision System (Picture for reference) Excellent condition. Cleaned and completely refurbished with A/V composite video, pause button and Intro Skip BIOS mods added to the console. Controllers cleaned and completely refurbished to work like new with ball knobs and straightened cords.Original unaltered Power supply and A/V cord included $199 + shipping (or without power supply $169)

I just received my refurbed and modded CV and it is really great!  It arrived extremely fast and was well packed.  The console itself is spotless and basically (except for one small scuff on the back...but hey, it's almost 30 years old), it looks brand new.  I probably wouldn't mind having standard a/v jacks on the unit, but the single 1/8" jack is an elegant solution, and the video quality is super-sharp.  And while nothing is going to make the ColecoVision controllers great, the ball knob mod makes a big difference, and the stick feels and works great.

Anyway, I'm a happy customer!

I just took delivery of system #3 and I must say that Yurkie did a superb job! The video is crisp and the controller enhancement makes a big difference! I highly recommend his work.

Thank You, Glad your enjoying it.

I will be adding a 4th Completely refurbished and A/V modded ColecoVision to this thread tomorrow. Same prices as the previous 3, only $129 plus shipping.

I also picked up one of these, and it's amazingly pristine. The mod works great and looks very sharp on my TV (although the TV doesn't always like to sync properly, but that seems to be an issue with any older modded system on it, nothing about Yurkie's mod specifically!). The controllers really do feel great.  I asked about getting the modded BIOS included with mine and it really makes a huge difference to not sit through the huge delay, but it's kind of cool that you CAN if you really want the true nostalgia.

The plastic looks like new, there are a few little scuffs on the metal parts but I don't think there's anything that could've been done about that. It's nice to see "refurbished" really mean "refurbished" and not just "I found this in the gutter and brushed it off with my hand". This CV looks basically new.

And I'm shocked at how HUGE the wall warts are! Geeeez! Did Coleco really need a nuclear power plant attached to these??

Just wanted to add my thumbs up to the great job being done on these.

No need for comments like this. If you want to sell something go for it.

[maximebeauvais]

good luck with your sale.

This 4th unit is still available.

I can also mod/refurbish/repair your ColecoVision. Send me an IM if interested.

To be fair, you're completely undervaluing Yurkie's service here.  He's not JUST offering a composite mod on these systems.  He's offering a fully refurbished system (including controllers!) using professional grade tools and products-- not a BenHeck mod (no offense to Ben!) and a pencil eraser to the cartridge edge.

And may I further point out, his work has been verified over and over as being some of the best in community, and worth every penny from every customer I've seen speak about their dealings.  I soon hope to be on that list myself!

As Thanksgiving approaches here in the US, I say "Thanks Yurkie for your work, and keep fighting the classy good fight!"

Black Friday Bump.

ColecoVision system in post #13 still available.

[keilbaca]

I wish I could afford one of these.. especially for the controllers. My Colecovision's PSU got misplaced so I can't even enjoy mine right now...

Awesome hearing all the good stuff from him, and I'm really tempted to have him refurb mine up nice and pretty.

Especially if he has a spare power brick...

Would be cheaper to buy this unit than pay for a refurb and buy a power supply.

[Yurkie]

Last one at this low price till at least after the first of the year. Most likely any future units will be $149
