Hello, I am looking to buy an Atari Mega ST. Or ST2 or ST4... I would also buy a TT if you have one you want to get rid off for a good price, but it has to be a really good price so I am not too hopeful on that... Maybe (partially) trade it for my Amiga 1200? Please PM me if you have one for sale/trade. I am in US.

PMing

Interested, PMing...

I will take the 2 atari items please. PM incoming.

Hi all, This might be a little bit off topic but wasn't sure which forum would be best... Being Friday and all, I felt like sharing two pictures of my upgraded corporate laptop. Have a great weekend!

Oh, I forgot... Next day after the plastics are dry, I used pledge and a soft cloth. I spray on the cloth and rub all around the plastics. Makes it really shiny... I suppose what the_crayon_king said about WD-40 would do pretty much the same, but I think pledge also leaves a nice smell... :-)... Just make sure you get the type of pledge that says works with plastics, I think there are some types that could potentially discolorate them...

Let me start sharing some thoughts... But keep in mind I have been involved with collecting and doing things with hardware for just a few months (although I have been playing with Ataris when I was much younger).... I am sure some more experienced folks will correct me and build on top of what I say... So, first of all it seems like yes, you have a heavy sixer. Sunnyvale sticker as an indication but alone is not enough to make it a heavy sixer. The fact that is heavier and especially the fact that the "corners" are much rounder than say the vader combined with the sticker makes it a heavy sixer. So no doubt about that I think... I clean the plastics by leaving them soak for about an hour in a container with warm (not hot) soap water. Then rinse it with water and I let them dry overnight. For the internals I use compressed air and a brush (with not too hard nor to soft hair). For the slot of the cartridges I take a cloth, I have cat a piece of plastic from a plastic card (expired credit card or membership card) pretty much the size of the slot, I cover the card with the cloth, put isopropyl alcohol on it and then insert it carefully into the slot and wiggle it a bit left and right. Then out and in again. 4-5 times should be enough. You will see some black coloring appear on the cloth... I have also noticed some stickers inside my heavy sixer., too.. I think they are standard practice in the fab... Not sure about the red one and if mine had one, but for sure mine had one with some sort of serial number too. And sorry, I have no advice about the sound... I would guess the "cold connections" you show need the be fixed with a soldering iron but I doubt this will bring sound back... But hey, have a look at this: http://www.atarimania.com/documents/Atari_2600_2600_A_VCS_Domestic_Field_Service_Manual.pdfthere is a whole decision diagram that should help you... Good luck!

I have exactly the same question so wondering if anyone knows the answer...

Hi all! I hope it is not too late to join the party, is it? Hoping it is not here is my take: YPbPr/component or F18A doesn't make much difference to me Atari module compatibility is not much of interest for me, I have a 7800 and a 5200 hooked up 24/7, so I play the 2600 games on my 7800. For Roller controller power I say "yes please", always good to have all the hardware available... If the cost is small (like $10-$15) then Coleco+Sega controller, if more than $15 I say Standard only works for me. Plug-n-play power and reset switches (similar to standard) Agreeing with jwats01 and some others. Less expensive works better for me. Surface mount please. Thanks!
