Cheap DIY 2600 Junior Select & Reset Tactile Momentary Fix
f.z.prime replied to Buckaroo's topic in Atari 2600
Hi Buckaroo I want to take a moment to share my experience and gratefulness with you: I have a NTSC version of the 2600 Jr. I had the same issue as described, hence my being here :) While the electronics boards appear to be slightly different, the C24 and C25 are still labelled as such and the connections are the same basic pattern flow. So, with no prior electronic experience, I set out on an adventure to follow your idea. I am very excited to say that I now have a fully functioning Atari again! Thank you so much for the advice! I am so excited! On a side note: I guess not all Mini Micro Momentary Tactile Push Button Switches are designed exactly the same. I ordered mine from Amazon. They are slightly too tall for the factory buttons to be put perfectly back into place (so if the factory (external) buttons are perfectly in place, then the tactile buttons are pressed down). So for me, I just hot glued one side of the (external) plastic button to the machine and the other side is slightly raised. It is a minor inconvenience so long as you don't have a child that will think it may be fun to pull up on the portion that is slightly raised. Thank you again. You are the best!
