  1. Took a gamble on a "nonworking/parts/as-is" DINA system/Telegames Personal Arcade on eBay. Short version of the story: seller clearly didn't know anything about the system or how to test it, and I scored a beautifully working DINA (apart from minor RF drifting with some games) for well below market value. :D

      Hah! Congrats! I scored a Colecovision with games and accessories this way. :) Sometimes those auctions are worth the gamble at the right place. :)

      ^ I put the DINA through its paces the other night. Couldn't sleep and played Coleco games for what ended up being five straight hours.:x I kept a close eye on what the system was doing, checking the heat, etc. Apart from occasional RF drift, it ran like a top, and remarkably cool. Way cooler than my TI99/4a.
