  1. I don't want to dog pile on Yurkie, but I have to say that my experience with him was not great as well. After numerous emails to set up my Colecvision mod, I sent it to him and it took 3 months to get it back. During those 3 months I had sent numerous emails asking for status and most would go unanswered, when he did answer it was always "about 2 weeks". This wen't on for 3 full months. His work is great, the system runs fantastic, but the lack of communication and the wait is really bad. As others have mentioned, if Yurkie would just respond to emails or just tell people "hey, i have a lot going on it is going to be a while" it would be different. In the end I was happy with the work he did, but if I ever need to have another system mod, I would look for other alternatives and ask Yurkie as a last resort since communicaiton is really bad.

  2. Not to sound petty or anything like that, but i had put in a pre-order for Wave 4 SGM and will also be looking at getting some games to along with it. Will all this legal issues impact the Wave 4 and being able to buy games? I just don't feel spending $100 on the SGM and then discover that there will be issue buying games. Guess I am asking for some "peace of mind" on my pending pre-order.


  3. Yeah, I'd say keep an eye out on eBay for other listings and be patient. I nabbed one last summer CIB & working for $102.50, probably mainly because it was listed as local pick-up only. I was going to be traveling out of state on vacation within weeks of the listing anyway, so I really lucked out with the timing of being able to pick it up on my way home.

     

    WOW that is really lucky. I just moved to Idaho from California and I am finding it hard to find anything local. The few mom & pop game stores rarely have anything other than NES and forwards. Been able to find a few games for Colecovision here and there, but nothing like what you came across. I put up a "Wanted" in the official wanted thread and will keep an eye on Ebay.


  4. Back before the Adam came out I was saving left and right to buy it, but my parents fell on hard times and I made the decision to help my family instead of buying the Adam. Things progressed slowly and I never ended up getting the Adam even though I wanted one badly at the time. I am now looking for one and prices seems very high and finding one in great condition has been a challenge, but I came across this ebay listing and wanted the forums opinion on price and what not or any suggestions people would have for me obtaining an Adam in very good condition.

     

    Here is the ebay link, I would appreciate any input. Thank You!

  5. I have never been that lucky or my timing is really bad. I have been looking for an Atari 7800 for a while now, but I am looking for one with a S-Video mod on it. I am blown away that you got the add-on's for the Colecvision and many CIB box games. Let me know if you are at all interested in sellign the Driving Module w/Turbo for the Colecovision.


  6. Not sure if anyone can answer, but i had my ColecoVision modded by Yurkie. He did a RGB mod only. Image is outstanding, but I know the Atari 2600 EM1 will not work with it due to the RGB mod. I was wondering if the SGM will work and output in RGB?

     

    Thanks in advance if anyone can answer.


  7. I know the Yurkie Composite A/V Mod works with the Expansion Module #3 Adam Computer, but I am not sure about Yurkie's RGB Mod.

     

    I am pretty sure that it would work with the RGB Mod, but as a fall back, I know that he also includes the Composite A/V Mod with all systems he mods for RGB.

     

    I would have to look at his modding thread to refresh my memory concerning the compatibility with the Expansion Module #1 Atari Adapter. I thought it did work, but maybe this is another reason why he includes the Composite A/V Mod with all RGB modded systems that he does.

     

    Hmmm. I had him RGB mod my CV about 8 months or so ago and it did not have the Composite A/V mod. I wonder if that is something he left out on mine??? I know it took a very long time to get it back and he forgot to add the power light, even though I ordered it as part of my order. I guess I will have to ask him about this.
