Yea I have not hooked it up yet mainly cause I have no games so whats the point lol.. Might just buy something cheap off ebay -
After years of game hunting and searching I finally found a channel f in the wild for 20 bucks. Now just need to find some games
-
Get to go raid some guys garage tomorrow he says he has games for all the systems and the best part is he wants to trade it all for a ps2.. Does anyone have a Roberts super color volley x if so is it any fun at all
-
Thanks not sure If Im going to keep them all.. I will for sure be keeping the Sears and I aready have a heavy sixer that I had been using.. So I probably do not the other two unless I want to keep the vader just for collecting purposes
-
Im not very handy when it comes to fixing things.. Sadly if I take something apart it generally does not go back together to right
-
Well it helped that the guy had no idea if they worked there were no power supplies for him to even test them. He probably assumed they were done for. I'm keeping the sears and will probably sell one or both of the others
-
Well all three systems work good.. I just cut a cord off an old 4 switch and spliced it on to the sears taped it up and it fired right up.. Got them all cleaned up so they are good to go.. Sadly the CX10 does not go left all other directions work fine jst no left.. Still not a bad score for 40 bucks though
-
Its the black and white 7800 game
-
The one controller was a cx10 so that's awesome, I have not gotten a chance to test the systems the rf cord is missing the plug on the sears so I am going to try and use one from another junk system and just re wire it on there.. Hoping that works Ive never tried anything like that but it does not appear to be difficult
-
Yea I hope its as easy as just cleaning them up
-
Thank you, Yea the button looks to stick up quite a bit further on the cx10s
-
Cool good to know I have a couple of them maybe Ill put them with the Vader system in that lot when I pick it up
-
Thanks I also found another article so Ive been in the garage digging through I large bin of controllers I have seeing if I could find one.. I did not but I did find two controllers that are solid black except for having a red button. They feel slightly looser than all the others and kinda of click when you push them.. They do say top on them.. Anything different or has the paint just wore off over the years
-
How do you tell if its a cx10? I just recently learned of them but have no idea on how tell the difference. Im only paying forty bucks for the lot so either way Im happy
-
Yea couldn't tell for sure from the pic.. That's cool though still like as I don't have a sears model
-
They are all untested so I am getting a pretty decent deal on them.. I know the PIC is bad but it was the only one the seller had. Really hoping the sears unit works I can see where the cord has been taped/spliced.. Can anyone tell from the pic does it look like a "heavy". Hopefully they all work and Ill be able to sell one or both the others and get the sears unit for next to nothing
-
yea I like them might be getting some intend stuff later today..
-
Picked this up today, Not sure if Im going to keep it yet as I already have one but could not pass it up
-
Yea not sure I have an answer to any of the above questions.. I was also confused it might be a moot point as he has not responded in a couple days. I was looking on ebay just to get a ball park figure on the different pieces. If I can get it for 150-200 Id risk it especially if the games are originals. Worse case scenario I could sell some of the working parts to recoup some money if it was dead. I would never pay it but certain moniters look like they are selling 50 low to 100 high end and Im sure some of the games if originals could bring a few bucks. Hell even if I could sell them for a buck a piece Id get most of money back
-
Really, Guy is asking much more than that he wants 250.
-
Thanks ordered some off amazon..This can be deleted
-
Ill have to to get them out tomorrow and take some better pics
