Columbia home arcade compatibility

[rapoza609]

I just bought a Columbia home arcade. Everything is there except the power supply, which they gave me a 2600 power supply instead. They said that that was what they used because they lost the original. Both joysticks are here but 1 has a broken stick. Just the plastic piece is snapped. The control still works. Does anyone know how compatible the coleco gemini controllers are with this? I know it's the same system so I'm curious if I can swap the internal components with a gemini controller?

I would certainly think so. I don't think there is any difference between the systems or controllers other than the label. I really like the Gemini sticks as they have excellent motion and built in paddles. I cleaned mine (just a board with contacts) and the inside is very simple. Based on what I've seen they appear to be identical in every way.

Identical, no compatibility issues at all
