Redcurrie

Do you have a picture?

is thedemondawg? From the number of Atari auctions this guy has snagged, if he's not on these boards, we need to get him over here!

Bump as I did a major overhaul of my want and trade lists!

Ugh, there's no other way to describe it but the image of the game on the screen appears to dissolve. This is SO frustrating! I threatened it with a screwdriver but no luck.....

I looked at your list but all of those look more recent than the stuff I have. We're talking Six Million Dollar Man era here.....

Are you looking to acquire or get rid of some because I have some I'd sell or trade if you're looking to acquire!

Is there an easy way to test either of these. I have a number of working consoles that I could use for donor test parts if someone could give me directions on what to do. If I could narrow it down to which is the problem, I'm sure that I could scavenge a replacement part from someone. I'm not an electrical wizard but I am pretty mechanically inclined. Thanks!

Okay, I have other systems so I know that my power supply, carts and TV connections (I don't use a switchbox) are okay so I've ruled those out. I've also wiggled the hell out of the switches and cleaned the cartridge slot. I think that this clue may be the key because when I put in Kaboom, it essentially looked like the picture dissolved from left to right and I'm left with the screen divided into the correct color blocks with no guy up top and some evenly-spaced, thin black lines on the left side of the screen. I don't know crap about this but I saw something in another post where someone commented that they could see the "RAM refresh" cycles on the left of the screen......I guess that what has me confused is that this unit is mint and doesn't work and the dozen others that I've gotten that looked fresh from being dug out of the yard did work! I even gave the older guy that I bought it from a fair deal so it can't be bad karma. I'm starting to think that we might be rapidly approaching screwdriver territory.... Thanks!

I just got a MIB 4-switcher from the original owner and when I cut it on, I get the correct picture on the screen for about a second and then it goes to a solid color. Any suggestions for what may be the problem? Thanks, Laura

Okay, I just added a bunch of INTV stuff.......

I just updated the list and added a couple more carts and some manuals!

I won an auction about a 6 weeks ago from a free-range nun (or nun in the wild) who normally sells rosaries but was selling a lot of 31 Atari carts. (They were supposedly from her childhood collection but I doubt that is where the ones coxed with $.50 came from but I digress....) It said that she shipped Priority and when after 10 days or so, I hadn't gotten them, I e-mailed. She said that she had a death in the family and would be shipping them the next week. Finally, a week after that I received them Media Mail. That'll teach me not to go against my inherent wariness of people who don't separate business and religion or politics....

Okay, I'm really, really excited because I just won a big INTV auction that had some games that I've really been wanting along with a ton of other stuff. I'm scared that I'll jinx myself (everything will arrive in non-working order) if I post a link but I'm sure that you can find it if you're familiar with the Search by Buyer feature.......

I do the same. They always send you back this e-mail that says they're looking into it and won't be able to notify you of the outcome, yada, yada. (I can never remember the address so I spend 20 minutes searching the e-bay site for the address....maybe I'll just add it to my address book.

Okay, I have the following for sale/trade. A link to my want list is in my signature but fails to include the 1000s of things in the "stuff that I don't have" category so if you want something, PM me and we can work something out! Other stuff that I have for trade is also linked in my signature. Cash is fine too as I just splurged on a big toy for my gameroom. NES Sesame Street ABC with manual Sesame Street 123 Big Bird's Hide and Speak with manual Seicross IronSword Wizards and Warriors II Super C Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers with manual The Black Bass with manual Captain Skyhawk with manual NES Manual only North and South (Missing Cover) Duck Tales ON HOLD Heavy Shreddin Gilligan's Island ON HOLD Bigfoot Skate or Die 2 Ultimate Basketball Dick Tracy ON HOLD Championship Bowling SNES Dragon's Lair ON HOLD SNES Manual only Sim City (Dr Wright's Urban Planning Guide) INTV NHL Hockey & 2 Overlays Star Strike, manual and overlay Sea Battle and 2 overlays ML Baseball and manual Space Armada and overlay Astrosmash with manual and overlay NFL Football and 2 overlays ML Baseball with box and manual Astrosmash CIB Star Strike CIB Any game shown with a single overlay is a 1 person only game and only needs a single overlay. Thanks, Laura

The first one that I got was a Sears that I found at Goodwill a couple of months ago. I plugged it in, the title screens came up when I plugged in the games but nada as far as getting them to start as there seemed to be some disconnect between the controllers and the unit. I'm working on trying to find someone to fix it but I was told that they have some weird wiring that can cause that problem if the sound chip goes bad. I finally just picked up another INTV that did work so that I could play my games. Next project is installing these "Stickler" joysticks that replace the touchpads......INTV is fun. It's totally different than Atari!

I need Tunnel Runner to complete CBS. Can anyone help out? My trade list is completely updated and I just added a number of good carts (like Titlematch Pro Wrestling, Winter Games, Summer Games, etc.) I'd really prefer to trade for these but will consider a purchase if the price is right. As for the list, I have label variations and Sears titles of a number of the carts so just ask if you have any questions! Thanks!

I have a bunch of Star Wars, Grease and others from that time (mid to late 70s) as well if anyone is interested!

I got a ton of INTV overlays that I would like to trade for Atari , INTV, NES, etc. manuals. If there are any that you're looking for, drop me a PM and we'll see what we can work out. I'm willing to trade them as singles, pairs, whatever.

I got an Imagic No Escape in an auction that must be a PAL cart because it continually rolls on the screen. Does anyone want to trade for an NTSC No Escape? The cart is a bit weird because it has "Sample Only" stamped on the front of it but it is definitely an Imagic cart in shape and label. PM me if interested.

I added 2 more 5200 games and some Atari Computer carts. I'll try to add some NES games with instructions tomorrow.

This game has been on my want list from the beginning of my collecting. I really oughta splurge on it. Voch There is someone selling 2 of them on e-bay right now and they hadn't gone sky-high yet as of this morning. I got lucky and got mine as part of an auction that had a complete system, all controllers and working power supply that all looked fresh out of the box. It had 24 other carts including Pitfall II, Gyruss, and a host of others that I needed for $58 including shipping. It wasn't an awesome deal but I was happy with it.
