  1. Not that this helps you, but I am in the process of selling a 400 w/64K Mosaic RAM upgrade. (ebay) When I was testing it's functionality, I hooked up my SIO2PC and it worked just fine. Had no issues.
  2. Looking for a shell only or non-working 2600 Jr for cheap. No cracks in shell required. Need a replacement shell for a broken one that I want to refurb. Thanks -Brandon
  3. ...and I agree it's hideous and awkwardly cool at the same time. Kinda reminds of of this...
  4. Sorry guys, had some issues with my logon, but that's been taken care of or I would have responded sooner! That's my auction and the keys are "finicky" not sticky http://atariage.com/forums/topic/274073-atari-400-w64k-mosaic-card-joytyper-keyboard-410-recorder-and-more/ From my testing, I found out if you attempt to type fast, they don't always recognize pressure, but if you just type slowly and evenly, they appear to work just fine.
  5. Rare ATARI PS3000 Monitor - I'd bid on it, but I can only assume the price will sky-rocket due to it being Goodwill... https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/47761939
  6. Here is an opportunity to own a 400 with some rare upgrades. Had every intention on keeping this unit after all the work I put into getting it back in one piece, but have changed my mind and am looking for other ATARI projects to work on. It's a very clean unit that I thoroughly went thru during re-assembly. ATARI 400 w/64K Mosaic RAM Card upgrade and JOYTYPER 400 keyboard Add-On ATARI 410 Program Recorder with brand new drive belt - Successfully loads applications ATARI BASIC Cartridge (CXL4002) ATARI 400 Owners Manual, ATARI 410 Owners manual & ATARI 400 Schematics in a retro binder "Your ATARI Computer" guide book * I also included the original serial # sticker and Mosaic upgrade sticker salvaged from the old case. SOLD! Saving one ATARI at a time.
  7. Yes, do you still have these? I would like one too!
  8. I purchased a Atari Jr recently under same scenario as you. Cheap, came with a few cartridges and original box. When I got it, nothing would show up on screen when powered on. All scrambled and static sound. Took me only a few mins to fix it. Needed to adjust the RF coil with an allen wrench. Worked perfectly. Little things like this are overlooked by most, because they do not know any better.
  9. My original 800XL is still working just fine. Probably purchased around the same time (1984-ish) - mT memory is all good. I have also had several 800XL's, 65XE's and 130XE's pass thru my hands. The only one's I had issues with were the 65XE's and mT chips were bad. Replaced all with socketed and just replaced the bad memory with original mT chips I had. The 800XL's and 130XE's were just fine, but can't recall if all of them had mT or not.
  10. Pretty crappy scam he has there. Sell a bunch of common cartridges in less than desirable condition and add in a ==> FAKE <== (reproduction) cartridge that he titles as "RARE". Those two negatives cost the same bidder $150 in wasted ATARI money.
  11. I get responses within 24 hours. Never have issues with him. As AtariBrian stated, make sure ATARI is in subject line and check your SPAM folder for response.
  12. Got this on ebay for $16.94 shipped! Seller stated: "Game seems to be working except, controller is malfunctioning and did not work the game as intended. Maybe a tinkerer can get it to work....top button seems to be shorting out the video." Took a chance that the seller wasn't aware of the wonderful Atari 2600's lack of graphical capabilities and the known flickering in the game due to this. Received it today, and just tested. Works perfectly! Flickering and all!!
  13. That was mine Hope you enjoy it. Thought it was in excellent condition, especially after I upgraded it to 64K and you definitely got it at a good price! I have 2 more just like it. Kept one for myself (always loved the small form factor) and will be selling the other soon (unit only).
  14. Well, appears these are NOT NP0/C0G. At least there is nothing in the specs to identify this. Just received them today and they are about 1/4 the circumference of the original one. TINY!
  15. CX-20 work for you? Not new (not mine), but in box. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Atari-Trak-Ball-Controller-for-Atari-2600-Atari-HomeComputer-Vcs-CX-22-in-Box/322912373838?hash=item4b2f13cc4e:g:gB0AAOSwEOpaH2vK
  16. Have you tried holding OPTION key down while loading the other games? I know on the UNO cart there are several that won't load unless I hold down OPTION.
  17. I bought some 47pF 50V Ceramic Disc Capacitors off ebay. Should be here in a couple days. I have no idea of the rating as the listing didn't not list any reference to NP0 or C0G. As you stated, I have no idea of the discoloration on the disc either, but it stood out as an indication of potential issue, so hopefully this takes care of it.
  18. Well, I decided to take it apart and look around. The only thing that seemed out of place or a potential issue is the cap located at C211 - Cap. Ceramic Disc 47pF (50V). Looking in the FSM, it shows that this cap is directly related to color issues on the light sixer. Does this cap look like it's seeping or seeped? Do disc style caps actually seep? Also, if I am reading the FSM correctly, it states that a Cap. Ceramic Axial 22pF (50V) is an alternate part that can be used. Thoughts?
