S.BAZ Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 TG controllers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 The TG is just the console. I don't have anything else and I've never even tried to turn it on. If you let me know the voltage and polarity of the plug, I'll be happy to see if I have a power supply that will workAll I can do is see if it turns on since that's all I have.I bought it intending to build a system and it's collected dust ever since.I've negotiable on price.

JamesD Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 The C128D needs a new key post for the left/right button, and it has yellowing.I have actually played a couple games on this.The photo is from RF output since I don't have the video cable. I had to fiddle with the cable a bit to get a good picture.Asking $170. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 I have had the Oric and Spectrum hooked up before. I'll have to see which of my current TVs will handle the video output before I can post pics.The Spectrum is the Spanish model. A few prompts are in Spanish.I intended to put in a ROM with English and the ability to type commands instead of using the ghastly key sequences.You can guess how that went.It includes a tape of Donkey Kong. Definitely not the best version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 The 3640 board came out of my A3000 when I upgraded it. My 3000 was caught in my fire so I can't test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 Oric 1's are pretty much 100 pounds on ebay UK. That's $130, and shipping to the US isn't cheap.I'd take $100 + shipping. I'm in no hurry to sell it. It's a cool machine and takes up very little space.The Spectrum isn't so pricey. I'm guessing the go for at least $40 pounds since bidding seems to be more than that on several auctions, but prices are all over the place. Asking $50 but I may adjust that lower after a couple auctions finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiberianSpForces Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 The voltage needs to be 9w and at least 650MA-1000MA. Polarity is something you'll need to watch for on the label; <->-•-<+> Also, the universal AC adapters for NES/SNES/Genesis works too. That's what I used when I had my TG-16. Then I would clean the RF before testing it. An alternative is using the serial port on the back to get composite video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) When I turn on the Turbografx I get a grey screen. It's clearly outputting a signal, but I don't know if that's what it's supposed to display. *edit* It sounds like that's normal. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/200979-powering-on-a-turbografx-16-without-a-cartridge/ The lowest ebay price is for parts or repair and doesn't have the cover for the back. It's $59 + shipping. How does $50 sound? Edited August 14, 2017 by JamesD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I also have this 13" color TV. It comes with remote and an external digital TV tuner.It has standard coax cable type connection on the back, and composite+sound on the front.The color would go well with an older CoCo. You'd need a matching transformer to hook up the standard rf output though.I'm holding it because it's trying to tip forward on the bed. $20???*edit*This is the TV I used to take the pictures of the C128D output on.

SiberianSpForces Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 The TG output through RF DSCN0075.jpg That's what mine did until I cleaned the RF jack with some electronic cleaner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 That's what mine did until I cleaned the RF jack with some electronic cleaner. It actually looks better than the photo. The digital camera catches the scan and produces really bad moire patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Man if only it was Friday already I'd snag that spectrum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) The Spectrum LED power light comes on, my TV attempted to display something involving at least red and green (which could be totally different colors on the actual screen) and it looked like a distorted box (really distorted), but it clearly didn't like the video and would not show a real image.I can't get the cassette to do anything but then I can't see the screen so... it may or may not work. I remember having this open at one time. I can't remember if I was checking the cassette belt or what. That might explain it. I just don't have room for collecting anymore and I have a TS2068 which does work on my TV. .I'll have to look up the polarity of the power plug before I test the Oric. At least one of these machines used the opposite polarity from everything else and hooking it up wrong can blow the power regulator in some machines. I can at least make noise with it to test it if this TV doesn't like it..I'm selling the Oric 1 because I have an Atmos. I think these machines will fit in one of the USPS "if it fits, it ships" flat rate boxes. Those aren't too bad shipping wise. I'll have to double check the speccy though, it's a little long.FWIW, I have inquires on the Spectrum and TG. The Apple III is probably sold pending me finding what shipping will cost and then receiving payment.

SiberianSpForces Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If you want to rig up a composite cable, let me know and I'll help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 If you want to rig up a composite cable, let me know and I'll help. Well, I have some wire with alligator clips on the ends. If I open it up I could probably rig up a cable for testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiberianSpForces Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Also, when you put the HU in, back it out so it just clears the power switch slider. Then for the port, you can put all 3 grounds in one pin, or separate pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
