WTB Working Colecovision Mobo or system

[WTB Working Colecovision Mobo or system]

Have three systems that are doa. Looking for working system or Adam.

[Colecovision power supply/switch questions.]

I tested the output of the power supply and everything else is fine but Im getting 10v on the 5v line. Can the Coleco handle this? Secondly when I test it on the power switch, the 5v rail is not showing anything. Plan on cleaning or replacing switch. Just curious if the Coleco can pull down the 10v into 5v or need new supply as well.

[I've never seen anything like this...]

Two port. Vs four Port. The two ports I've had all had factory mods with wires poorly soldered. Trammiel strikes again.

[I've never seen anything like this...]

It's from the factory. I've had several boards with the pin lifted.

[INTEREST CHECK: New Reproduction Overlays...]

I would be down for a set as well.

[RF shield on proto board?]

I hate posting on this site sometimes. Did you see the picture? Or the topic for that matter? It's an rf shield on a lab loaner. Not a retail game. That's what I was wondering. I have four protos I found in the wild and two I have purchased from other collectors and this is the only one I've seen with a shield. Anyone else seen them? And how frequently? Thanks and sorry if I come across as a douche.

[WTB: Atari 5200 Prototype Titled " # 3 "]

What game was this?

[RF shield on proto board?]

Anyone ever seen one of these before? Always wondered why there was notches on the sides but never came across an RF shield.

[Wonky Activision game?]

I've removed the roms and put them in Atari pcb's to get some of the games to work.

[Eprom chip questions. Nes snes repros.]

Those won't work. 27c128 is only 16k and 27c256 is 32k. What you need are 27c010 128k or 27c020 256k to make Ned reproductions. You need larger ones 27c1001? I think is a 1 megabit chip for snes. The ones you have are only good for Atari reproductions.

[Savage Pond and more please!]

I'd like to be rich and have my mistresses big titties in my face. Kinda demanding there brother.

[5200 has low sound]

Get a new motherboard from best.

[games on chips]

I have an EPROMs programmer and several 27c256's to spare.

[So are you down with Bowser or Eggman?]

Goo Goo Ka Choo.

[3-button Missile Command for trak-ball]

Electrically there's only one top button and one bottom button. It's absolutely impossible to tell whether it's left or right.

 

I always thought someone should have tried two make it so the left button fires from the left base, the right from the right, and BOTH from the center.

[Which games came with overlays?]

I've always wondered that myself. I got river raid sealed as a kid, had no clue it had overlays. Then half the time digging through the markdowns at Zayres the boxes would be all ripped up. But you weren't about to complain over a nine dollar game.

[Atari 5200 - what did I get myself into?]

The Wico is not the be all end all. They break down as well. I just ripped mine apart after owning them and not being able to use them for over 5 years. The pots were corroded and the keypad on the command control was cracked. Had to solder some bridge wires and wire up a new cable up as some of the wires were kinked.

I emailed Best yesterday. I think I'll at least try one controller first.

 

Part of me wants the Best modded controlller to keep with the 5200 vibe - but Im also wondering if a Wico might be better. However, the wico wont allow for the dual controller set up needed for Robotron and Space Dungeon.

[Venture for the Atari 5200]

It seems that they were. In the decade or so I've been on this board, I've encountered some of the smartest,generous, and kindest people. I've also run across some of the biggest douche bags ever. In reading through this topic I can see why they will never release another Atari game ever.

Giving this another bump. I would still love to buy a copy. I hope the developers weren't scared away by a few negative posts. There's plenty of 5200 fans who would love to see this released!

[Atari 5200 - what did I get myself into?]

You sir are playing the Rolls Royce of classic gaming. Amazing to look at. Awesome to play. But forever at the mechanics. Go to Best electronics. You will not be disappointed. Plus no more sending the Rolly out to the shop.

[WICO Command Control Joystick Problems]

the Sorry for the necro bump, but I managed to take apart the Wico pots. It's not that difficult. I used a set of precision screw drivers and a hammer to knock out the screws/pins holding it together. Then used a small flathead to pry them out the rest of the way. Once apart I used windex and qtips to remove the build up on the resistance bands. Put it on the multimeter and to my surprise I got accurate readings. Fired up defender and the controller now works flawlessly. Now to fix my other Wico.

[Atari 5200 Atari Corp Labels]

These are the Atari corp games I own. All of them 1986. I wonder what the reasoning and who was behind the release of the games so late in the game.

[Wico Command Control Joystick and Keypad combo on Ebay]

If I had the money I'd buy two just because they are brand new. Hopefully they'll still have some at end of July. Bonus time baby.

[Interest check - Pac-man Arcade for the 5200]

Put me on the list please.

[Atari 5200 Atari Corp Labels]

That's pretty cheap.the last two games I ever purchased were Qix and Ballblazer for 5 dollars each at toys r us in 1986. Last time I ever saw anything 5200 at a store. The Vanguard without the name I got in a lot of 24 games back in 1999.

[Atari 5200 Atari Corp Labels]

I've never seen one from 1987. I have the Vanguard without it's name on the label and missile command, choplifter, Galaxian, and I think defender. But they are all copyright 1986.
