All the Twin Galaxy records are 5.57. I am guessing no one can get faster than that.

Kevin my hero! This is a very informative post!, wonderfull. So that I understand correctly, the coax connector on the back of my newer TV will still cause an issue because of the impedance? I have purchased the adapters from Atari Age already Why do they sell them, if impedance is going to cause an issue? I am guessing it sorta of works, but we get static? I do have a VCR, so would my best bet be to just to take advantage of the composite connection then? What a bummer, thought I could just adapt the Atari plug, and plug away into the coax connection the TV has. Thanks so much! -
Hello All Newbie here, and am very excited to start my journey of collecting and playing the consoles of my youth. However, I have so many questions, I don't know where to begin. I did search the forums, and got some answers, and was confused by others. My plan is to pickup a 2600. My question centers around refurbishment. Should I pick one up that is already refurbished? I am leery of listings that declare something is refurbed. I don't know what the person did, how skilled they were, etc. Would it be better to pick up a non refurb one, and use an Atari Age community recommended refurb expert? If the 2600 is working fine, do people still refurb anyway? or wait until it dies? My other question is in regards to connecting it to a modern TV. I ordered the adapters from Atari Age already, but what if you have multiple systems such as Coleco Vision,Atari, and Intellivision? In my search of the forums, there did not seem to be agreement on this. Some say getting some kind of non powered splitter/box would cause too much single loss, others said it was fine. How do I solve the issue of not having to keep removing and connecting the system I want to play each time? Any recommended products for this? I would like to avoid modding to connect to RCA if at all possible, that's the purist in me. I am excited, and looking forward to joining this hobby. Thanks so much!
