    if the seller shipped you the wrong game at their fault, you have every right to be reimbursed for the shipping cost that you will have to pay. and if they reimburse you with paypal, have them add the 3% paypal fee that they will charge you when you get the money. good luck

    Yeah, the A/V mod does make the picture beautiful, and the sound is very clear with no humming. Obiviously the camera shot of the screen doesn't do it justice. Unlike the original NES, the ColecoVision's steel PCB upper and lower shielding are absolutely necessary for a half-way decent picture. After I cleaned and conditioned the cartridge slot and on/off switch the picture was definately improved, but I would still get the occasional blinking sprites. Since I installed the A/V circuit it is ten times better, and I haven't had one blinking or misplaced sprite yet.

    This is a rare joystick controller for the Coleco ColecoVision from 1983. This joystick is for use with all ColecoVision compatible Video Games Systems including:

     

    Spectravideo SV-300 Series Computer

     

    Spectravideo SV-603 Game Adapter

     

    ColecoVision Video Game System

     

    Features: Two sets of fire buttons - four all together

     

    Hand hugging, ultra-ergonomic grip

     

    Built in self-stabilizing suction cups

     

    Special “easy read” numeric keypad

     

    Extra Long Cord

     

    The two fire buttons on the grip perform separate functions and help make one hand video game play possible.

     

    Corresponding to the fire buttons on the grip, the buttons on the base can be used for optional two-hand play (such as when you want to rest the fingers on your other hand.)

     

    The hand-hugging, ultra-ergonomic grip design gives better control and lessens fatigue.

     

    Built-in self stabilizing suction cups prevent slippage and help make one-hand play possible.

     

    Special “easy read” keypad allows selection of all game levels and number of players.

     

    Convenient extra long cord plugs into either the ColecoVision game machine or Spectravideo’s Adapter for Coleco Games.

     

    This joystick comes with the box and box insert, but not the instruction manual. The box is in good condition with minor to normal shelf wear. The keypad accepts game overlays just as the original ColecoVision controllers do. The joystick itself is in 100% guaranteed working condition, and looks like it is brand new.

    Up for auction is a completely refurbished and modified Coleco ColecoVision. Included in the auction are the ColecoVision game console, 2 controllers, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong JR., and Zaxxon, a power supply, and a gold-plated A/V cable. Everything is 100% guaranteed working, including console, controllers, games, and modifications.

     

    Modifications:

     

    1: Gold-plated, color-coded, RCA audio/video output jacks

     

    This modification allows you to directly connect the game system to modern televisions or home theater systems. No longer are you required to use a TV/game switch, or forced to deal with blinking white sprites or audio “humming” while playing the game. This allows for the clearest picture and sounds ever available with a ColecoVision.

     

    2: New BIOS chip installed

     

    The original BIOS setup forced you to sit through 10 or 12 seconds of Coleco’s opening title screen when a Coleco-published game was inserted into the cartridge slot and the unit powered up. After the time delay you could then select the number of players and the difficulty. With the new BIOS chip, after the console is powered up, the instant you press one of the controller buttons the agonizingly long title screen is skipped and you continue on to the game.
