4300

Iirc, the 7800 needs an adapter to run a genesis controller. That would lead me to believe the 7800 controller wouldn't work with the 5200 adapter that's made for a genesis controller.

Have you tried a genesis controller?

Well that's good to know. Maybe it just doesn't like this cart. I did slightly bend the pins outward to make sure they are making contact, with no change. I also noticed the garbage on screen will occasionally change when I turn the console off and on, shown below, or I will get a black screen.

I just purchased this odyssey 2 with one game. After giving it a once over I hooked it up and get this on the screen. What I've done so far: - thoroughly cleaned the cartridge port and the game contacts - removed, cleaned and re-seated the socketed chips and sockets - looked over the board for cold solder joints, none that I can see - tested the PS. It's outputting 12.6v Interestingly, I get this onscreen with our without a cartridge inserted. Any ideas on what to look at next?

I think it would be fine. The shielding in the pics looks pretty decent. They're pure copper and not copper class aluminum, which is good.

It's surprisingly cheap. A nice change of pace.

I ended up making my own replacement membrane. The intellivision 1 style membrane will work with some trimming, but the DIY route turned out well enough it's not worth the effort. No flashback controllers were harmed in the making of this post.

Big box o C64 disks

I'd take a look at one of the 1up modding facebook pages. A lot of those guys have gutted their cabs and have the original parts sitting around.

Damn nice collection

Mind the bare walls. The basement is a work in progress...

Manufactured in China, I would guess. They're good.

Was given back the original GC I bought probably 20 years ago, complete with the high dollar component cables I bought at the time.

I have no plans to destroy it, I just wanted to see if the original style pad could be made to work in the 2's controller, mainly if the buttons still work with the original style mylar. If it does, I'll order a set of replacement mylar, trim/modify as needed. If it doesn't, it doesn't. Either way, I still have a FB controller that I'll probably rewire, or build an adapter for.

I mainly wanted this to see if there was any way to make the number pad membrane work on the 2

Just ordered this to go with my Intelli II with crap controllers

I'm not sure what to do about those number pads. I dont know if the replacement membrane for the original fibrosis would work or not

Just grabbed this off of mercari. Probably should've waited for one with better controllers, but this had a stack of games and the intellivoice and the price was reasonable.

It's pretty decent. The d pad feels a little off. I swapped out the pad from a SNES controller and it's perfect.
