Look for a working Atari or Sears pong console, doesn't have to be in good condition, can be missing knobs, switches, case, etc. Want one to attempt to convert the thing to output a composite video signal. Thanks

Thanks.It helped a lot. Postage is a killer but as USPS have a postage calculator it is easy to see what something should cost to post. Sending the basic unit should cost about $14 to send at most and not $20.

As topic says roughly does the original pong console weigh in lbs/ozs? I trying to see if someone is gouging me for postage.

Looking for two working of any of the following, 800XL, 65XE/130XE or XE Game System machines for use in a video game exhibition (one of the largest video game exhibitions in the world with over 150 playable games, nearly all of them on original hardware. It doesn't have to be perfect but has to work 100%. Also looking for Boulderdash / Rescue on the Fractalus cartridges, these can be loose, beat up, etc. Failing that any cheap and cheerful floppy drive replacement. My budget isn't wonderful but hit me with offers. Thanks

The point isn:t to make the picture quality better, it is to be able to hook it up to any NTSC compatible monitor in the world. This question has been asked countless times and so far the only sensible solutions have been to use a RF demodulator but this adds cost and makes the picture quality worse it should be possible to use a piece of stripboard and $1 worth of components to get a composite video signal as it is on the Atari VCS. Outside of American and Canada it is near impossible to use the console as TVs in PAL land won't tune into NTSC RF signals, even other NTSC countries like Japan also won't tune in due to different frequencies used. There is one hard to read schematic floating around http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogames/dedicated/pong_schematic.gif From this it does look like you should be able to get some sort of video signal from R10 but the signal is going to need some work done to it to make it composite. I am trying to get a couple of cheap consoles to see if I can get composite video from it as I do want to hook one up to a projector.
