I have to run some errands, but when I return, I'll send a pic of the plugin on the pcb and send it.

Sadly I don't have a spare console, but the controller is hardwired but not hardwired into the console. It is plugged into the pcb and can be detached from within. I don't know what you call it. I can send you the dead controller and hope for the best. Thanks for replying, Mike

If you build it, I may buy it, at least the controllers.

I agree with everything, except I actually like and enjoy the console and games. I was the weird kid growing up. It's definitely an uber niche market, but I find it interesting that those few that own it and thinks it's awful, don't want to part with it. Not saying you, but others I talked to through the years, when I first wanted to get one. I have an M1000 not boxed, but it took a while. They don't come up for sale very often. For those who collect and just want a display piece, it would be cheaper to have a 3D printed version, but not playable, then some collectors can sell me an awful MP1000 unit, with a red power light. Sorry, I was dreaming. 😴

Sure, I just wish I could fix it, other than the joystick part.

How about the parts inside the controller? Are they off the shelf? I broke one of the controllers trying to fix the keypad. Well broken as far as the pcb for the keypad, and all the wires broke off from the solder points, including the ribbon.

$70 for both sounds reasonable, it's a deal. These are hard to come by.

How much for Boxing and Casino?

Yeah, a pretty exclusive club for sure. 🤓

Also it would be nice, if someone out there offers an APF M1000/MP1000 repair service.

Maybe one way to find out who owns the rights, is someone make a reissue bootleg console and games, announce it publicly, and wait if any cease and desist letters from their lawyers, start coming in.

I have become quite a fan of this console, and not just a collector. The games are primitive, but the colors really pop, and I find them more fun than most owners do. Sure there are games and systems that are technically better and more fun, but it deserves more love. It's beautifully primitive. I wish someone out there would 3D print a reissue and have an emulator inside it, with a complete library and homebrews. Since APF doesn't exist anymore, is the console and its games, public domain?

Hello. They are probably interchangeable. I noticed that the console box has the APF MP1000 logo, but the pic of the console itself shows APF M1000. Mine is an M1000, but sadly not boxed. I tried to repair some of the keypad buttons after successfully retaping the contact domes for the joystick, but I cracked the circuit board over the keypad, and wires connected to it, detached as well. I still have the other controller working (mostly), so I'm half bummed.

$51.50? 🤤

$50.01?

$50?

Hello?

Anyone?

🤑

I'll pay $40.

You bet. Did it arrive in a week like it did for me? Coming from Italy, that was crazy fast. It is indeed a gem. He did an excellent job on it.🤘

Boxed or loose and working, if anyone wants to part with one. I'll even pay for it, with money!

...

👍

I would like to see mini versions of the APF MP-1000, Channel F, Odyssey2, and RCA Studio II with complete game libraries built-in. Sure the fanbase is small, but they can be made as ordered. Oh to dream...
