Hard to see but the power switch looks correct, I'd say the LED was a modification have you played it ?

buy 'em where you can find 'em starting out, Ebay "lots" are good , figure in the shipping + total price divided by amount to see if your getting a fair price per unit record shops, pawn shops, comic book stores, flea markets "collectables" stores are good places. if their prices are fixed per game and seem kinda high, look for the more "rare titles" at the fixed price. If you think you want to be a "completioninst" start small , maybe one manufacturer at a time , is a decent way to make chunks out of the 400+ commercial titles allow some rough boxes, usually the cart & manual is still in really nice shape and can always "upgrade" enjoy the journey

http://atariage.com/howto/clean_cartridges.html The write-up doesn't mention to use a high percentage rubbing alcohol, use 90% or higher ( at local grocery store or pharmacy ) Also try different carts Keep us posted & welcome to Atariage

wow great pic , says it'll expire in a month or so .... Looks like "Star Fighter" was hand written on it. For awhile there was a question of what the title of the game was I recall. from reading some other posts here.

hmmmmmm does this happen on different game cartridges ? I haven't encountered this yet and I hope this bump will get another member to chime in on what could be the culprit. welcome to Atariage

the first run were "CX-10" as described in the wiki article

so what are the specs for the generic power supply you are using ? (before trying another 2600 console ) Replacement parts should be readily available if your near some sort of local electronic supplier

Welcome to Atariage. posting here is a good start the "How to" section for the 2600 has some good tips , http://atariage.com/howto/index.html. for cleaning cartriges use a high percentage rubbing alchohol (90%+) The power supply: an origonal power supply is always best but a generic one will work if it matches. does the one you bought put out an AC voltage or a DC voltage? if it puts out AC it probably "popped" the voltage regulator inside the unit. For an ATARI 2600 you want to output 9V DC center tip positive I live in USA so here the input voltage is different than Aussie-land I'd imagine I don't have a Colecovision myself so I'm sure others will chime-in I would guess that with some kind of picture might be where you start to make more progress , try cleaning the game cartridge. For a newer TV you might have to do an analog channel search and/or look for a channel selector switch on the console (ch3-ch4)

I recall the original newspaper article said it was to be published by Sparrow

What kind of TV are you trying this on ? if a newer flat panel try and analogue channel search while console is on ( probably still have to tune the RF pot.

A few days ago (at this post) Todd Tuckey of TNT Amusements posted another video of Moppets "Tugboat" , I have yet to come a crossed one myself but will keep my eyes peeled

Thank you for the binary: I was hoping for a cart release with box and manual with a bit of the history described. I think about it as I play the Leprechaun game at Funspot NH.

At 7:14 minutes into the film she is sitting on his lap with a blue gameboy color https://youtu.be/4zhMlFOyZvQ?t=428 I "get it" you don't like Billy , but no need to slander him over the people he loves

Billy does have a daughter, in King of Kong movie she is playing a Gameboy. I haven't met him or his family yet so I don't know for sure but I would guess that is her.

I think it's the Taiwan H6 (still an H6 so cool IMHO ) there is a notch on bottom for channel selector switch I went looking for a post I made in the serial # thread & my post was gone anyways found the photo comparing a couple of mine

Again I had to Google it the first time & the Oxford English Dictionary only kind of made sense I knew it had to be something quite clever and the "bar fight" analogy made perfect sense and the added definition of a "Rammy" was icing on the cake for the title of the additional game..

I had to Google "Stramash" and it sorta made sense. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stramash

it's what came to my bizarre mind when I read your post if you haven't seen the Lord of the Rings perhaps you didn't get the joke

Got my copy today and I am very pleased. Quality item all the way
