What's a 5200 Track Ball Controller worth these days?

[What's a 5200 Track Ball Controller worth these days?]

I do not recommend using Armor All on any of these Classig Gaming Systems or their additional components. First off it does not clean the surface nor does it repair any blemishes or physical marring of the system or controller. All that Armor All does is leave a nasty film on the system or controller which only temporarily hides any marring or other damages to the plastic. If doing this prior to posting for sale, then it is being done to deceive people as to the true condition of the item. I can easily spot items being sold that have had an Armor All type product applied to it and I just laugh and steer clear of said item, though I feel pity for whatever sucker buys it thinking they picked up some "needle in the haystack" item.

 

I have attached photos that I took of a few of my personal systems which I cleaned myself meticulously (without disassembly) using a toothbrush, fine boar hair brush, lots of Q-tips and several high quality microfiber towels and Formula-409 (which I have now replaced with my own homemade concoction). Not a drop of Armor All or any product similar to it has touched these systems not will they.

 

I will hopefully get around to photographing my Atari 5200 Trak-Ball Controller, then post them up in this thread.

Just saw this thread, so I apologize for being 7 days late wishing you a Happy Belated Birthday!

 

Congrats on the lineup you plan on closing out 2015 with, no better way to exit, you are blessed brother.

[Yurkie's ColecoVision Mods RGB, VGA and HDMI May 2018]

Yurkie my man!

 

Been a long time brother, I hope you and your family are doing well.

 

I see you had been tinkering in the workshop, and found a video mod which allows us to play Colecovision games while enjoying a resolution and color palate I imagine the designers never knew was possible. Bravo.

 

Looks like I will soon be sending you my YurkieVision for a much need surgery! Plus this was the final justification I need to invest in a FrameMiester XRGB, I have been eyeing them for over three years, along with scan line generators.

 

No need to allow my YurkieVision to enjoy all the fun, will also send in my NES which I have owned since 1988. This particular NES and I have a special bond, she deserves a make-over as well.

 

Again, glad to see you are still pushing the envelope with mods to provide a better experience for us Old School Gamers and providing your unique talents and experience by restoring old systems back to like new. God bless you brother. I will get in touch with you soon.

 

About three years ago I was fortunate enough to stumble across this particular thread and procure my very own YurkieVision. I purchased an existing Colecovision that Todd had in his inventory, ten paid for him to transform said Colecovision into a YurkieVision! They say pictures speak a thousand words, well lets listen to those thousand plus words shall we...😁

I'll definitely post some pics up soon...

[Star Trek or Star Wars.]

Star Wars? Atari? Star Trek? Intellivision?

 

Forget all that crap....I choose Odyssey 2 and Spaceballs!

 

 

 

LMFAO

[Star Trek or Star Wars.]

As a youth, without a doubt Star Wars. I remember watching it in the Theater, quickly became a life-long fan of the Franchise. My only hang up is Episode 1, still think it was garbage.

 

In college I really got into TNG. Imho, this series was by the best of the Franchise! Only other Star Trek series I've watched every episode of is Voyager, really liked it as well.

 

I have been in the Intellivision Camp for about 32 years now, heck I just recently bought my first two Atari consoles.

 

So I guess this is where I fall:

 

Star Wars - Intellivision

 

 

You start a lot of threads Voltron, this might be one of your best!

 

 

 

 

 

[Limited Edition Colecovision 30th Anniversary Playing Cards]

Hmmm....

 

I see you are selling these on eBay, yet I paid you on 19 August, yet still have not received the cards yet and it's 4 September?

 

I have bought a lot of goods from Canada and have never experienced this slow of shipping.

GameStop is the SUCK !

[How many backup consoles do you keep?]

Plus there's the problem of storage space.

 

Tell me about it! I have four rooms in my house that are full of VideoGames (Consoles / Games / Literature) / Sports Memoribillia / RC Gear / PC Components / WaterCooling Gear !!! Recently starting storing the crap in my pseudo-photography studio room, which now is getting on my nerves.

 

These f'in old CIB Classic carts are driving me insane. I seriously need to take the time to research shelving and make that damn invest soon, to keep my sanity!

[What do you think are the most epic game consoles?]

Sega CD

Vectrex

NeoGeo

[Bought my first Atari 2600 today !]

Do any of you H6 Guru's know where I can find a suitable replacement for these parts:

 

Atari 2600 / 2600A Round black Foam Dust covers  - CO10813

 

The ones on my H6'er are f'ing nasty !!!

 

 

[should I get a 1st gen PS3? for how much?]

Well to start with, make sure to buy a CECH-A01. This is the model I originally bought at launch. Comes with a 60GB HD and is fully backwards compatible. A larger HD can easily be installed as well.

 

Problem with these units are the weak-arse laser units. They will fail. Some people experienced over-heating problems as well. Trying to find one online at a reasonable price, that isn't some internally hacked-up POS, might prove to be difficult. Glad I bought mine back in the day!

[Bought my first Atari 2600 today !]

You can either solder in the whole switch, or replace just the upper metal portion. The trouble with the latter is keeping the tiny metal spring in place on the Select and Reset switches, and the tiny metal clips in place on all the switches.

 

SlowCoder posted an excellent detailed guide to cleaning up the system here... http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/184296-slowcoders-guide-to-cleaning-up-your-2600/

 

Thanks for the link!

 

Looks like I'll be buying new toggle switch assemblies, but will keep the originals stored away.

I have yet to receive the set I paid for on August 19th, could you kindly provide me with an update?

 

Hi RedRaider!

Yours was ship last Friday! You should see it soon

 

Good news, was beginning to wonder what happened.

[Bought my first Atari 2600 today !]

How difficult is it to replace the six toggle switches on a Heavy-Sixer? Do they require you to desolder / solder in the new switches or do they use quick disconnects? The ones on this unit look like shit and I do not like my consoles to look like shit!

[How many backup consoles do you keep?]

It was only recently I decided to begin acquiring "backup" consoles, but only for those that have CD/DVD drives. Once the collecting bug bit me again, I began to get worried about my Sega CD and Saturn dying on me, since those two systems make up the bulk of my game collection. I have the Sega CD covered, but haven't come across a good deal on a Victor Saturn.

 

Don't play my Dreamcast much, but bought two backup systems only because I came across good deals.

 

My PS1 SCPH-1001 has finally died, so ill be investing in a replacement for it. Started playing my PS2 launch model again recently, so considering getting a backup soon. Same goes for the XBOX, looking to acquire two backups for it.

 

GameCube isn't a priority to me, since my unit never had much playing time on it.

 

Just replaced the laser in my PS3 FAT 60GB, but don't play it much, so no backup planned right now.

 

Own three 360's, two FAT Elites and a Slim. Putting one of my FAT's on water soon and installing it in one of my Lian Li PC-XB01's, which should help extend it's life span. Man oh man where those early 360's poorly designed / assembled. Had five go RROD on me, luckily all were replaced my Micro$oft.

 

As for my cartridge based consoles, I've been blessed so far, since I have not had one die on me. NES did require a 72-pin replacement, but that is a given. Only one I have a backup for is the Vectrex ( 3 units), IMHO a person can never own too many Vectrex's.
