HP Atari King of Michigan Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Got a great find. A boxed 5200 2-port system with one controller and a Pac-Man cart with box! Paid only $45. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Did they have any more interesting old consoles or computers? Or, did you just get lucky on this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sqoon Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Pawn shops can be real hit and miss. A few around my area do not carry games/systems older than PS2 or Gamecube, but there is one that has good deals on NES, Genesis, and 2600/7800 stuff once in a while. Congratulations on the 5200 find. Is the controller in good working order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations on the 5200 find. Is the controller in good working order? Thanks. Haven't tested the controller yet. I was told the system itself does work. Did they have any more interesting old consoles or computers? Or, did you just get lucky on this one? I have seen a Heavy Sixer 2600 in there in the past. Currently there's a 2600jr there now.

HP Atari King of Michigan Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well I tested the controller. The joystick works somewhat and the start and reset buttons work as well. The fire buttons don't work, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Do the eraser trick on the controller, and those fire buttons may fire right up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeforcerm Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I used to fix the fire buttons with conductive paint for fixing car defrosters. Paint the little dot on the back of the button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
