    Here is some insight why people suspect it to be genuine. It's the funky powder blue T shaped cart. People can fake boxes, but it's much harder to fake the cart.

     

    Nope. I know a lot of fellow action figure collectors/customizers that can match the color and make a mold for these pretty easily right in their own home.

     

    Peace,

    BTW, how do you find playing the VCS on the LCD telly? Just curious.

     

    On the Samsung LCS in the bedroom everything would play except for Crazy Climber, the two Cube games (Video and Rubik's) and Boing.

     

    On the current setup in the living room (Vizio Plasma) everything plays just fine.

     

    I love playing the 2600 on such a big screen. :)

     

    Thanks for the kudos, everyone!

    Finally took some updated shots this morning! :)

     

    Here's where the heavy sixer is set up in the living room.

    The games are on display in the other corner, in-between my saltwater reef tank and my piano (two other things I enjoy spending time with).

    Some detailed shots of the individual shelves...

    ...and finally the small spillover on the top shelf of my g/f's Lego collection's bookshelf. LOL.

    I've got a few items coming this week that I'll post pics of, as well.

     

    Thanks for looking!

    Okay, I have a light sixer that will only play certain games, and that's after jiggling the power switch off/on for a few tries. The sound is perfect on the carts that work.

     

    I have a heavy sixer where the picture is perfect and all carts work just fine, but the "static" noise before the power is turned on never goes away even though each game comes up fine.

     

    I don't have a solder gun, nor do I know anything about the guts of the 2600. I did open them both up and swap out the connector cable, which doesn't improve either problem.

     

    Is there an easy solution for a tech noob like myself?

     

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

     

    Peace,
