+grips03 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Any interest in a Colecovision controller PCB for arcade controller type DIY builds? Inputs are arcade type joystick and 4 buttons. PCB is a clone of Coleco's Super Action Controller, minus the roller thing. Controller PCB price would be $23 shipped in the US. It needs and would NOT come with: Arcade type controller with space to fit the PCB and keypad, I've used NeoGeoX controller with keypad cut in between joystick and buttons If you go this route its best to replace the 4 buttons with (4) 24mm screw in buttons from Sanwa or Seimitsu - Focusattack.com sells them (34) 1N4148 small signal diodes, Digikey.com p/n = 1N4148FS-ND qty 50 is $2.56 KP-12 keypad - $4.95 at the site below http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/KP-12/12-BUTTON-KEYPAD/1.html DB9 cable - Retro-Bit Sega Genesis extension cable works well, ~$10 on eBay wiring, can use JST-XH 6S cables (qty 4) - these are 7 pin. If you go this route then buy qty (4) 455-2240-ND from Digikey.com - qty 4 is $1.72 Edited January 3, 2014 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 can you post a picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Absolutely! I didn't get a chance to get the Collectorvision version, and there is another Colecovision website with pics on his build but the looks of it leave more to be desired. A custom pcb would make the task of building a good arcade controller a lot easier, I hate chopping up old parts that could have otherwise been saved. Count me in!

adamchevy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd be in for a complete model. I'm not sure what they sold for, but I'd be in for $100-$150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) I use to sell a complete joystick, but I had so few sales I've stopped. I would happy to start again if I get 6 orders. Plan now is to sell the pcb only. Edited January 4, 2014 by grips03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
