    Most multimeters have a diode tester, I've yet to see a diode go bad.

     

    The keypad?... it's another story. (then your into silver conductive pens, etc... )

    ​

     

    I have been able to revive 99% of controllers except those with keypad issues. I toss them into a box pending further investigation.

    But its my understanding that you cant reliably test a diode unless its removed (?) And I dont own a conductive pen (yet)

    I bought it complete when it was first released don't remember who published (Collectorvision?) ...

     

     

    No, that was me.

    As for current value, I watch Ebay for what they typically go for and its all over the place, you can never tell.

    Some bootlegs appeared earlier this year but they were made with childishly poor labels on repurposed DK carts.

    Indeed :) They speak really original French not as us here in France. :(

    Actually I meant the opposite to be honest. I can make out very well on my French in France but when I go to Quebec, forget it, I understand nothing they are saying.

    Because my learning is from a text book, not conversation.

    Yep! Curious to see if it works or not. Need to figure out power supply but I'm sure someone here can help. I'll report back when it arrives.

     

    I have several of these Spectravideo computers. #1 thing to note is that whereas the power connector has the same pins as the colecovision power supply they are NOT, I repeat NOT the same voltages at all.

    Sigh...I had one then two, three, now four drives that worked at one time well, then intermittently (often only when warmed up) but all now exhibit this exact same behaviour. Not an alignment issue as no attempt to seek is made, no adjustment of the adjustable capacitors made any difference. All in good cosmetic condition, all power up. None work. So yeah, a "TESTED" drive is tested when it reads, formats, writes when connected to an ADAM without issue and tested does `NOT mean that just the light comes on when plugged in.

    I found this at a yard sale today

    Today? Man you are in a time warp. You posted this on Facebook in the GTA/Toronto swap forum 3 weeks ago asking the same question and you got responses there.

    `ok half a step back. I don't remember exactly when I got this cart but it was likely almost 10 years ago. Or even more, I seriously don't remember. I am thinking farther back because I actually thought it was an actual Atari release at the time which of course it isn't.

    Secondly I assume it was ecoleco, it was off eBay from someone in Pearland, TX who was selling a number of this type of thing at the time, ergo I believe to be eColeco.

    I could be wrong about who the seller was in which case I do not mean to mislead anyone.

    I'm sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but where can someone buy CV Dig Dug- not that "mega cart?" I've tried finding out on the Internet, but only get back e-Bay replies.

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

     

     

    Ecoleco used to sell them, I have two so I can let one go for the price I paid. PM me
