Need to grab conductive paint to repair the keyboard on my new Atari 1200XL. Can anybody link to stuff that will work well on Amazon?

If I snag some 2600 paddles of the vintage variety, how hard is it to refurb them? Deoxit and maybe a new pot?

I've refurbed nearly a hundred sets so far. Three liberal cleanings with contact cleaner is the magic number, letting them dry completely between cleanings. After that they either work perfectly or they are scrap for parts recycling. If they test well, I spray some Tectran 500-55 Penetrating Dielectric Lubricant in there and they will not need to be serviced again for a minimum of 20 years.

Not sure why but been on an Atari buying spree lately. Unfortunately, the Epyx 500XJ I picked up turned out to be for the NES? I didn't even know they made them for NES.

NES 500xj's are especially great paired with the NT Mini's 7800 core (7800 never got an xj), I did a vid on those once. There is also a Competition Pro for NES--Those are completely useless, the nes 500xj is only 'mostly useless'

Curbside pentium 4 is officially a lost cause. On the plus side, I’m sure the 600W power supply and cf/ide adapter I bought will be useful in whatever my next project is.
