eric_ruck Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 WTB: A bunch of 3 button Genesis controllers. Working prefered. I would like to get at least a couple from one person. Did you find any yet? How many did you want? I probably have more than a few spares, especially since I like the 6 button controllers better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I've seen these fairly regularly at thrift stores for anywhere from $1.00 to $6.00. Do you need, like, all of them you can get your hands on or more like 3 or 4? What's your threshold of pain on the price? Timeframe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20eyes Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Specifically im looking for (no 1650) made in Taiwan. With the big screws. Has a rom instead on the blob on the circuit board inside. I want a couple to modify to use with my vectrex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Specifically im looking for (no 1650) made in Taiwan. With the big screws. Has a rom instead on the blob on the circuit board inside. I want a couple to modify to use with my vectrex. One of mine is from Malaysia, the other is from Taiwan. I see the screw size difference, but neither is a "glop top". They both have packaged IC's. The Taiwan unit has a through-hole DIP package and the other has a SMT package. Your options may be more open than you thought. (I use mine with my 2600, so they're not for sale) I was going to make a thrift store run today. If I see anything, I guess I can make a note of where I saw it since I don't know your acceptable price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20eyes Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well, genesis controllers aren't worth more than a couple bucks to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Well, genesis controllers aren't worth more than a couple bucks to me... Yeah, me too. Just checking in case I saw something. Hit your local thrift shops, they'll eventually turn up. I didn't see any today at the one place I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
