without the console signal to turn on/off, you wouldn't really know. They almost always click, but sometimes, you get one that doesn't turn off, until unplugged. If handy, I'd say replace the transistor in there, and call them refurbed. I replace that, and the LM193 voltage comparator on every box I get.

Ok I'll try that!

Those are the only two parts I've ever had fail on those. The transistor most often, the IC ocasionally

Yeah I hesitated asking, I'm sure he's got a mountain of stuff going on but was curious.

 Me too man

I think he's still waiting on boxes to arrive.  He does need to update us.

I would wait. Why does Florida have a CRT shortage? Lol

If you can get a hold of a 2nd hand VCR, than you can use that as a A/V to coax converter, plus VCR's have signal filters built in.

No I just wanted an older TV for the CRT, I've read here they are better suited for older systems. All my systems *do* look better on the older TV. Only one problem. My Colecovision comes up fine, then within 30-60 seconds starts to flicker and goes white. Never did that on my LCD. I've tried everything. I have the power switch mod and the video mod with the one pin plug to RCA output. Hopefully there's a fix, I'll try the VCR for the filter. I still have one in my garage.

Me Too!!!

My dinner starts at 10:30 A.M.!!!

Sign of the times.  I can have beer during work meetings because they can't see me drinking it.

Was it closed?

They were closed briefly. They had to clean up after a big staff party or something.

I understand there was a lot of mopping involved.

Ha!

Ah...

If only I had the adapter, switchbox, and controllers for my 5200.

Yes, you'll probably end up losing that leg

How many roads must a man walk down?

The Answer!

Fuck off, I ran out of 42.

That be 604 by Toxteth O'Grady (USA) who also happens to hold the record for the world's stickiest bogey. Can't catch me out on a bit of The Young Ones trivia!

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry were on that episode.

That would have to be an extremely large nostril to have 604 marshmallows stuck up it.

But my cat peed on it.

You! Yes, you laddie! You behind the bike shed!

Nintendo G&W Parachute? How much?

Pair a shoe - used during skydiving accident

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn."

I got wide staring eyes

I got a strong urge to fly!

And I've got second sight.

If it's on the Commodore 64, you're looking for Serpentine:

YES! Tapeworm is the game!!! Thank you Kiwi!!

I wrote a CoCo two liner version back in the day that sadly I never submitted anywhere. It was impressive, for two lines of code.

The term is now "hu-per-sun." Son signifies male.

So are Hu-Cards made for the TG-16 made out of people like soylent green?

LOL No they got whalloped on Thursday.

No one hates the Yankees because they are successful. They hate yankee fans because they are smug douchebags who have a canned retort to everything. Much like Bill Gates.

Awww...somebody gowna cwy???

Barking dog usually means the owners don't know how to handle dogs. They should watch Cesar 911!

France. I lived on a farm for a year, 2 dogs outside on leads all year round.

Living on a farm is slightly different. Those are farm animals, not pets. Here in the states people call thier animals "pets", then make them suffer outdoors in sweltering heat. It's deplorable.

+1 on that!

I take Benadryl melatonin doesn't work for me

Is it insomnia or is delayed sleep phase where you sleep fine 5am - noon?

That one works too!

How uplifting.

Yo' momma is so nasty, she got more crust on her toes than Kentucky Friend Chicken!

Your mother is so obese, her diabetes got diabetes.

Actually, you'd become a fat, older, uglier version of him. For some people, that's an improvement.

I hear that she wanted to be the "Queen of Nice", but as a sick and twisted joke, somebody already applied that title to Rosie O'Donnell.
