Always wanted to whore-up an Addams Family pinball...

It's hard to go wrong with flat black formica.

I was thinking of this one. lol

Um, should have said NTSC only.

I've got a 3 terabyte Western Digital my book with usb 3.0 and usb 2.0 to trade. I had bought it for a Wii hack, and even played it for 3 or 4 hours. This thing was around 160 bucks when I bought it a few months ago, though you can get it on Amazon for 120. What I'm looking for is Atari 2600 stuff. I'm looking for a couple of cx 40 sticks that are in good shape cosmetically, a pair of cx30 paddles in good cosmetic shape (I don't care if they work or not, I'll be rebuilding them anyhow. Though, it would be nice if the cords were good.), also looking for a Suncom Tac-2 and a Suncom Slik Stik. I'm in need of games. I'll list the ones I already have at the bottom. Like everyone else, I'm looking for the Activision ones, and whatever duplicates you might have. I also am looking for an ElectronicSentimentalities A/V mod board for 2600, and a 2600 pause kit like Atariage sells. The games I already have are as follows: Jungle Hunt, Stampede, ET, Space Invaders, Adventure , Deadly Duck, Pac-man, Kung Fu Master, Chopper Command, Combat, and Fast Eddie. Send me your extras lists if you are interested.

There's a parody that Hozer Video sells, though I've never played it. There are mixed reviews on here as far as service goes, so use your own discretion there.

Regarding controllers, it's a question of personal choice. The most vocal folks about there preferences more than likely have had them for many, many years. I prefer the Wico's, but have always had them, and nothing else feels right to me. The Suncoms are pretty precision, and don't use microswitches or conventional blade contacts, so with a good cleaning they are pretty robust. In my opinion, the best controller is the one that fits your hands, even if you have to build it. Some of the quirkiest things you can get for an Atari are the games themselves. Then, there's also the Arcadia/Starpath Supercharger, which is quirky as hell, but works very,very well. Everyone needs to own at least one of the Mystique games, though you'll probably never play it, it's fun to show your friends on poker night. I also like the game manuals, some of them are funny as hell regarding the backstory of the games. The main thing is enjoy everything you score......get out there and join the hunt!

I always had problems with Enduro.

Here's a link to the website, though you're not going to find a lot of the stuff that's on the regular paper catalog on here. http://best-electronics-ca.com/text.htm

AtariLeaf sent me EXACTLY what I asked for, went out of his way to check it out, and shipped it PROMPTLY. I have no regrets.

Most folks (not all), use the replacement pcb's from "best". It is generally thought that they last a very long time. Having said that, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-2600-Dome-switch-lot-50-joystick-repair-/281402961516?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item4184ec6e6c

Gonna bump this for you. Someone that doesn't solder needs this.

Pretty cool stuff there.

I've never owned a home pinball, but my first commercial one was a Gottlieb Sky Jump conversion. In the old days if a unit got stagnant and wasn't making money, they would replace the playfield, marquee, and repaint stencils. And poof, you had a new machine. You can get an old Gottlieb, Williams, or even Bally cheap, but the old electromechanicals seem to be constantly tweeked . I've rebuilt and owned several, and to be honest if you're handy , it's no big deal.

A light 6er.

Gonna try to make it. Look for me, I'll probably be the only one wearin a black Stetson.

6.27

I've owned several of these, though I've never seen one in a sealed box.

Jr is a pain to the point that it isn't even fun sometimes. It's shame, because it's a well made game

Pac-man Fever maybe

Does anyone know how big the vendor area is? I mean is it a swap meet, and are there several vendors. On the website it just listed Game Over, and I would like some parts.

I did a couple of the cx40 conversions really similar to the video, and can tell you a couple of things. I haven't done the tactile switch conversion in a while, but it worked very good when I was the only one using them. Having said that, a couple of youngsters broke the rings on both of my controllers. IF I ever do it again, I had thought that if I was able to lower the circuit board, that it would retain the stock stick and ring, though I haven't tried that method. The "best" brand upgrade boards are very well made in my opinion, and are generally thought (though not always) that they would be a replacement that would last a long time. There is a post where a feller didn't have good luck with the "best" replacements, but that is the only complaint I've read about them.

Still in the market for a tac 2, slik stik, a couple of cs40's, and a couple of the pong type paddles. I don't care if the controls work or not, but want them to be in good shape externally.

You would get bonus points by running over the fanatics......and lose points on cartridges that got away... Could maybe even have a second level where you played as the fanatic, and tried to sneak as many cartridges as possible.

What we were talking about last night.....A timed game where you are operating a bulldozer and have a limited amount of time to bury as many ET carts as possible.
