copper oxide does not dissolve in alchohol. . i just look to see if the contacts are dirty if they are i hitem with the sponge. rub until i dont see any green anymore... doesnt hurtem.... through em in the clean pile.. actually my sponge is about wornout .. time to get another one from my taper friends you guy would probably crap if i told you i use brasso in my cds. save a lot of disks that way.

i actually use sandpaper on all my nintendo games. well not sand paper but a sanding sponge for sanding drywall mud.. its the only way to get an old tengen game to work. i dont even screw around with alchohol anymore wast of my time. if you do use this method i would make sure the sponge of fine grit and well used. takes the green copper oxide right off.then the carts work every time.

ive think ive got a good enough carts to play... would also give me a good reason to get the few i dont have.

hey guys your going to have to shoot me a price... cant even find boxed stuff on ebay.. i dont have much reference.

But you'd probably make more money selling them with the machines. Good luck! if your just looking for boxes i would try some where else,,, they are fairly rough..

not sure yet got a lot of cataloging to do. and a lot of checking to see if it all works. what a way to spend a weekend,,, messing around with 25 year old computers i know nothing about. id say most of the antic mags have the floppys that came with them. im going to trade this stuff off here and maybe keep the loose 800. ill get in touch when i open up for trades on this stuff. im going to post pictures of it so people can really see how good they look. i want to keep these within the aa crowd. i couldnt see these gong to some random guy on ebay. i dont know how well these comps age but all this stuff looks like is been in its boxes for 20 years. the boxed 800s look like they have never been used. i also believe that the 400 has a 48k ram upgrade because i have a manual and book for it. ill have to check it out. i have a couple of boards as well. also a couple of replacement keyboards. also the manual for the 1 800 is so mint i didnt even open it up. this is all farly fun,,, my first in the wild find was a good one..

antic magazine a stack of em 15 inches high all really good condition. analog computing magazine a stack of em 15 inches high all really good condition. the atari basic source book heath kit manual. tv typwriter cook book atari disk operating system reference manual. computers first book of atari graphics. atari 400 800 basic reference manual. all books are in good condition. i still got a lot of odds and ends to run through

i also have one loose 800 in mint condition 1 atari 400 computer in very good condition with box which is also in pretty good condition being that it is 25 years old. 1 atari 410 program recorder in good condition in original box that is in rough shape. 2 atari 1050 disk drives in original boxes, 1 has original power supply 1 has also been modified with a toggle switch for some sort of protect/unprotect type of thing. not sure but they did a pro job with the switch looks good still more to come.

i recently found all this stuff on the curb wating to be thrown away in our city wide clean up. i know next to nothing about this stuff as i only have collected consoles so far. 2 atari 800 computers in original boxes/styrofoam. boxes are all there but they show some aging. original tv switch and power adapter in original boxes for both computers. both have owners guides one is fair the other is in mint condition. as far as the computers go they are both in pristine condition.

i sure do i got both of them saturday. i think with a little attention she'll be god as new. sorry im not selling any thing.

where do i start.... i bought a tested and working 7800 and it didnt work. well.... i BARLEY could see the picture. if had not know what i was looking for they would have got a negative for non working lying something. 40 shipped,. i also got a 7800 from a junk auction ,,,LOL,,.. works great. broken trak ball and too many controllers came with it. it also got the rf adapter i needed and didnt know i was getting. i also got an extension for my vaccum from the same lot... when i opened the package i was like what the hell is this?23 shipped. last night i bought a lot of games. 5200 zONE RANGER , KABOOM!, KEYSTONE KAPERS , & RIVER RAID 15.50 ive seen the other amazing lot on this forum but what have you seen weird latley. and i bought this one also 5200 PENGO~WIZARD OF WOR 10.50 this same night this lot of game came up, 5200 Frogger Q*Bert Popeye, i actually bid a buck on this to push it over the price of my first lot, but the high bidder some 0 feed back guy had his bid higher than mine . left it at that...16 bucks. these were all game i wanted. i still got a bunch of stuff coming and i dont know what to expect?
