    So the paddle knob on the VCS version is unnecessary?

    on the VCS port of Steeplechase the paddle adjusts the height thehorse will jump. you can always set to max height but will affect the time. a shorter time will win the race

     

    I would love to play the arcade version :love:

    mine works on the 7800 I have.

     

     

    It doesn't surprise me since a lot 7800's have all sorts of odd issues . The game might work on a different 7800 .

    I hadn't opened 7800 up to see any board revision or anything , it DOESN'T have the expansion port on the side or anything. any post listing the differnt revisions of the 7800 ?

    from an old thread ...

    Adding to this thread about the power button switch for the C-380. These are available at Best Electronics: "the New Atari C-380 Locking / latch On/Off Switches are in stock. Cost is only U$D 3.95 each."

    I don't know what the part # is I think Bradly has a 20.00 minimum order

     

    the spring could be scavenged from another battery holder

    That's good to know. Thanks for clarifying.

     

    Perhaps,chas10e, you didn't download the entire archive? Would that be right? :)

    at the time I thought I snagged the whole thing as is was loaded but I may have just selected the *.mp4 files

     

    some reason nothing is uploading of what I have , I have an open port & a firewall exception , I reset "bans" in my torrent client , it did re-seed quite a bit but redownloading the *.torrent file reset all the stats I had on it

    I am downloading the *.torrent version , you can do selective downloading with most torrent clients

     

    total it's 58.8 GB

    the size of the file-set had changed from when I first downloaded it I think adding redundant file types

     

    I still got the *.mp4 files and still seeding (loaded the whole *.torrent file to see if I get the whole thing

    best to keep it in the cigar box , mine lasted about a week & then the graphic wore off :skull:

    mebbe try & clean up them connections on the left side of the board (2 whites & red) looks like some work had been done to them

     

    looking again the red video wire on the right looks like there is a blob of solder bridging a component on the other side of board ( I am not sure if it's supposed to be that way or not, (perhaps it does) on mine I can see a trace that connects to something

    I check the individual batteries with a volt meter ( OCD :P )

     

    yeah I snagged most all my PNP's @ thrift store where ever I could find 'em for about that price *coughs (Hoarder)

     

    my only complaint with the unit is the button is on the wrong side of stick for Galaga , especially the bonus rounds

    the one I have has is solid blue on top . IMO probably the most solid built PNP of them all

     

    fresh batteries, clean battery terminals if a previous set of batteries corroded (white vinegar / baking soda / q-tips)

     

    if above ok, try bending the cable up or down where it enters the unit, it may reveal conductor broke inside cable

     

    also do you have component connection on TV? (yellow) or is it R-B-G ?

     

    I hadn't disassembled this particular unit before.

     

    I hope others can chime in with any more advice
