Hannacek Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Has anyone seen a 2600 Paddle Controller Modded for 5200? I got it as part of a bunch of 2600 stuff. Does anyone know how it works? Is there anyone who wants it, or to make a trade? I don't have a 5200, so I can't use it. I have included pictures below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Wow that looks almost exactly like mine. How does the back button array work. It looks six buttons short to be a 5200 keypad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 It is a 5200 keypad. Top row start pause and select. The other six i forget which rows but not all 12 buttons. Only the most common ones for paddle games like pole position. And the side button, hi low select. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannacek Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I got it at the Bill Loguidice auction in Jersey. It came with a Coelco Gemini 2600 clone and Gemini paddle controllers. If anyone wants it, its for sale on ebay. If you want to buy it off ebay or negotiate price, let me know. https://www.ebay.com/itm/302758426864?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Sorry but 80 is too much. Even mine was only 50 something. Nobody will pay 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannacek Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 After shipping, ebay, and paypal fees, you need to charge more than an item is worth. You also should add 5-10% onto the item price, to cover you in case the person says the item is not as described. If they decide to return it, you pay for return shipping, and can resell it, and at least make a little money for all the time and effort you put into the item. Ebay really works as a reverse auction now, where you list the item price high, and if no one buys it, you lower the price until it is sold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That thing is janky as hell. It's not that hard to put a 2600 paddle into a real 5200 joystick, and the finished product looks like an authentic Atari product right out of 1982. There's very specific instructions on the mod somewhere in this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you can use the keypad with the standard controller for shifting, or how easy it would be. Thats about it though. Edit: I have seen the 5200 controller paddle with a button added to the top left sticking out the end, somehow interacting with up/down pot also left in.

Hannacek Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Someone bought it on ebay for the asking price in less than 30 days. If you have to keep relisting something, it is because it is overpriced. If someone buys it on the first listing, then the price is usually reasonable. Reasonable based on ebay pricing. You can feel free to have an opinion on ebay inflating prices, or having prices too high, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
