board on one of mine is slightly different: but what I noticed , a bead of hot melt glue over the joints ( mine may not have been altered) you have an extra white wire from your video & looks like is bugger-soldered to other side of board

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

is it this one ?

that manual is for the arcade cabinet , not the home model I have yet to play the arcade cabinet

seems like a really nice start for a collection with some great games. I always link this for cleaning the system: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/184296-slowcoders-guide-to-cleaning-up-your-2600/?p=2316794paddles will need to be "jitter free" for Kaboom! let us know about any extra goodies he may have found

some good stuff about cleaning your console & controllers here. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/184296-slowcoders-guide-to-cleaning-up-your-2600/ some good stuff here too: http://atariage.com/howto/index.html for modding, shipping will probably be the killer to and from your location. what general location are you ? shop wisely look at "user feedback" in forums ect. old CRT TV's look great with these consoles IMO and doesn't have to be huge

interesting the rectangle contacts on the PCB, the CX-10's I have have the round(er) dome contacts I found this thread here about the style you have, http://atariage.com/forums/topic/189382-inside-an-early-cx10/

the link above shows an adapter to use instead of the original switchbox

does your TV have a coax cable connection on the back ? if so as JeremiahK said use that. in the source menu you may have "air" or "digital cable" options does your heavy sixer have a channel select switch ? it it probably on channel 3 already but may be set to channel 2 sometime you have to have the TV set to search for these channels if no coax connection on TV go the VCR route keep us posted

could be a double ender , same game works on either a 2600 or an INTV combat poker sounds cool

somehow I don't think will work as good as the invention of the Peanutbutter Cup

a previouse attempt of finding some random sized thing was really tight in a homebrew I had got the tray liners are perfect for original boxes but had to trim it just a bit off the top & bottom for Deathchase/NOX, sleeves were great for this release as well as I had peeled the white protective layer off to use them I like the plastic tray liner as well 'cause it's easier to get to the cart.

Will be looking forward to a playable demo. I know a guy who's pretty good at this game

made 2 separate orders with MortoffGames, one for Starplex controller replacement decal & other for Vectrex box tray & overlay sleeves all reasonably priced. both came through quickly and in great shape.

Got mine the other day and they are working out great !!!

It would be cool to see this vacuum form re-scaled to fit Atariage boxes and carts , I would imagine the AA logo would be appropriate also

shot you a PM , Awesome !!! EDIT this should also be in "marketplace"
