CIB - PAL Version ATARI 2600 JR "Long Rainbow" Console

[atari2atari]

Final price is pending completion of the AV Composite Video Output project for this unit (Spring 2012) - -

 

$80 shipped for this lovely boxed unit (in the Lower 48 states of the U.S.!)

 

 

ATARI 2600 JR "Long Rainbow" Console

PAL (not NTSC!) version, COMPLETE in the BOX

 

 

This thing is essentially new in the box - - the protective plastic film is still on the logo, the serial numbers match - - but I realize I can't "officially" say that it is "new," because I opened it to look at it and test it!

 

 

 

 

 

Super-important - -

 

This is a PAL console. It will not work correctly on many NTSC televisions (some, more advanced ones will let you switch to PAL or tune the frequency to accommodate for the signal).

 

If "PAL" and "NTSC" means nothing to you, then please don't buy this console!

I don't want anyone unhappy!

 

 

 

I obtained this because I thought I might do this composite output mod for PAL systems:

 

PAL Atari 2600 Composite Video Mod (link to article)

 

However, I am realizing that I don't have the time to tackle this one right now!

 

SO, I am offering it up!

 

 

 

Details - -

• The unit works great - - if you have the option and can modulate your TV, or have an RF to VGA adapter, you get a good image. The joystick ports and all that DO work.
  
• The box is slightly scuffed, and has some wear and prints on it (see detailed pictures below)
  
• A regular North America ATARI 2600 power adapter is 100% intended and compatible with this console - - I just used one from one of my normal 2600 consoles! The PAL power brick is included, of course, but all it ever did was step down the voltage to the correct, same-the-world-around voltage that the 2600 wanted, and the same jack type, too. (Again, see detailed pictures below)
  
• A fresh, new joystick was included with the console.
  
• A set of owners instructions come with the console.
  
• An RF video line with one end with a PAL termination was included with this console (you will need your own RF line, basically)
  

Details - -

• Package will ship immediately, pending payment
  
• Console and parts will be repacked in it's own box with foam peanuts and bubble wrap
  
• Console box will then be wrapped in plastic, padded with bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE another box that is also padded and packing filled!
  

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - Yes, I can do that. However I must warn you, the shipping and insurance may be cost-prohibitive to your budget, as I'm sure you know!

Gone skiing for the weekend . . .

 

 

 

 

Back Sunday nite, and will respond to PMs then.

 

 

 

 

 

No one has expressed any interest in this yet, so I am assuming it is not a desired object - - that fact that it is PAL must sound too scary?

 

 

I will take "best offers" too, if anyone is interested . . .

 

 

 

Have a great weekend, ya'll, catch you later . . .

I would love to have that (since it is boxed), but I am not sure what to offer on a PAL System

[atari2atari]

No one was interested in the "silent auction"

 

 

- - Price now set at $65, plus shipping.

 

 

Original post modified, please read for details.

 

 

THANKS!

A reasonable price.

I have been looking for a video modded PAL Atari 2600jr as I killed mine trying to mod it myself.

I would be happy to buy it if you mod it or can get it modded as I dont trust my soldering skills at all after my first attempt.

A reasonable price.

 

not cheap either but it is in really nice condition especially the box as the handle hasn't been used yet. you'd end up paying more if you ship one with insurance and tracing from europe. so it's a good deal for you guys in the US.

[atari2atari]

Up in 'mah post, bumping it . . . (cleaned post and the price got lowered . . . kinda' like this bumping low-rider . . . )
