No way I'd even bother with this.
-
Yeah there's been a few on craigslist. There's one right now I was going to pick up. I already have one identical to it though.
-
Wow. He is good. Here's what I got from him:
Sorry to hear about the dead 128’s. Unfortunately I am not very good having not really turned on a 128 in a couple of dozen years, HOWEVER, some of the guys in the forum fix these on a regular basis. Please post there and if no-one gets you what you need let me know.

I haven't played it yet. Need to set up my old hardware but just don't have the space right now.

I just realised I have this game for pc mint in box. Picked it up awhile back at a thrift store for $1.

Waiting for approval at c128.com.

I won't disagree with you. You might want to post this on "C-128.com" to ask Bill Herd about this problem:

Chances are that he will know more about the C-128 than most people.
Sure, will do. Thanks.

Has to be a chip. I even connected to a tv set using rf and an atari 2600 switch box. Same deal. Thanks for the link.
-
I'll Check all socket chips next time I go in them. Are they still available?
-
Thanks guys. Trying to get the 128s working is like pulling teeth tho. I've tried everything, different monitors, tvs, different cables, using rf, blind booting, 40/80 key switching, c64 mode when powering on, removing SID chip, reseting all socket chips. Dead. All I get is the red led, a pop in the sound when first turned on, vertical faint lines about 1/4 apart on screen, and a ringing sound. Ringing goes away after a couple seconds on two of them but the third one continously rings. Not loud but enough to hear it.
-
Nothing in either mode. What needs replacing and is it socket?
-
All three seem to have the same problem. I've used different monitors, cables. I have 4 128 power supplies and a 64 power supply. 2 1571 drives. When connected, the drives respond to the power up of the 128s. Nothing is displayed though.
-
The 1702 monitors work like new. Tried all three 128s and they all power up with blank screen.
-
Yup, ham radio operators. The 6JE6C or something like that.I have a few of them. My tv uses it for the high voltage flyback. I also need a smaller one that sits next to it. Have to see if I have that one. I just sold my RCA tv repairman's case. Didn't really need it. Just looking on ebay, looks like anywhere between $25 and 70.I have an old GE TV repairman's case chock full of tubes. Which ones are selling for upwards of fitty bux? lol. (You still need one for your TV?)
It's usually the ones that can be used for audio applications I see selling for decent coins.
-
Okay, now you're venturing in ridiculous territory. #mindblown
Some of the vacuum tubes are selling for $50 ea. I actually needed one for a 1968 Magnavox tv console.
-
especially since the load included 4 ced players. Several movies for them, a couple older crt set from 82,83. A stereo, radio, pioneer stereo components, vcr, a line conditioner, vintage speakers, a denon multi cassette player, several vacuum tubes, and even a 6000 btu Ac.Holy Moley that's an awesome haul, especially for free!

Once I go through everything, I'll have detailed photos. So far its:
2 1702 monitors
2 1571 floppy drives
3 c128 computers
tons of manuals and guides
cables and power supplies
100's of disks
disk storage units
Commodore printer
dust covers
All this had been in storage for quite some time. I had actually showed up for something else but when I noticed all this, I asked the lady about it and she said take it. I'll start going through everything today and get pics. Here's some pics right now.

I could care less really. They'll eventually come along. Where I live though, it's scarce to find anything game related. As for the ps1 working on PS2, yeah most games worked but when I tried to play Fatal Frame 2, I couldn't run where I wanted to. Just one way.
-
Yeah I know it's not the greatest but still want to try it. I have Hotel Mario and another game I forget the name.Sorry, I JUST sold my spare PS2 and 3DO pads.
If I can just say one thing.... your luck has spared you the experience of having to play the CDi by not giving you a controller
-
Bought the following systems missing controllers:
Magnavox CDI
Panasonic 3DO FZ1
Original SNES
PS2
Sega Saturn version 2
All my other systems have controllers. Does anyone have any spares that they don't need for these?
-
I have to admit I'm pretty pleased with performance so far between mame and ps1. Still need to set up atari, snes, nes and genesis. Then I'll go from there.

Haven't got around to it yet but I'll do that.
