Yep, pretty much there, as in I can see the picture and hear the noises just below the interference of the TV.

Yes, seems to be all of them - I tried 4 or 5.

Thanks Alex!

I have this kids' controller - pic uploaded. Any ideas what games it's compatible with? I have Big Bird's Egg Drop, and suspect it works with that, but not 100% as my 2600 is ill! Cheers

Cleaned up and still not working. I tried to adjust the bit in the box that goes to the aerial out socket and that had little effect. I think I'll flog it for spares and either sell my games or buy a new jr.

I have some wicked 99.9% isopropyl stuff I bought to clean up an old boombox - so glad I can use it for this too!

Excellent advice, thank you. Will give it a go.

Anyone got an idea what I might need to do? video attached in the above. Ta!

Hi everyone. I bought a 2600 JR around 20 years ago, to replace my wooden 2600. The JR worked at the time, then spent the last 15 years or so in a box in the attic, then garage. I finally decided to see if it would work. As I only had new tellies, I bought an old Bush TV last week to use with the console. Alas, the picture isn't working properly. I have taken a vid of the problem, which might offer some clues to those in the know. Any advice gratefully received. I might just buy a "new" one off eBay, if it needs opening up and repairing.
