David Alexander Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 We recorded our Pitfall/Pitfall II Episode last night. It was so long since we last got together we went off on so many tangents. Lots of blooper material. Now I got to edit this into a intelligible episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also, have to do some filming this afternoon, for the 1-Year Anniversary Special Edition of The Atari Report, in which will go to air tomorrow, in which will mark to the very day, the 1-year anniversary of TAR, and yes I might no doubt have to do some retakes just to make sure I get it right, but yes it will air sometime tomorrow afternoon on that particular YouTube channel (or search "The Atari Report" on YouTube). I'm already cleaned up and groomed so I can be camera-ready, now it's a mater of setting up the lights and cameras for the filming in will commence later on today. There'll even be an overlook at what goes into the filming of each episode you see as well as many ither things you might not know inclduing what my real day job is and also what inspired me to come up with this series/channel, see you then!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also own one too, I just don't have the Y-adapter for it though. As for the keypad, it is an absolute must as its touch-tone phone-quality keypad is the best you would've found in its day. Good luck. Best to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I didn't know there was a keypad from Wico for the 5200. I have the joystick with the Y-cable. I'll have to see if I can find one of those keypads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a chance on the keypad, knowing that their built like tanks and not much can go wrong with them. The keypad is like new. The controller was in bad shape, but now I have some spare parts for my working one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 I just wanted to apologize to the listeners of the podcast. House shopping for the last months plus finally buying a house and packing has really exhausted me. I will be moving this Sunday and it will take a couple of weeks to unpack but after that I will go full steam ahead and get our latest episode edited and up. Thanks for all your patience, Here is Steve's latest 5200 video review: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Buying a new house? Moving into a new house? What kind of excuse is that?! Very good ones, of course! No worries, @David Alexander.

I also own the keypad and joystick, but, the numeric keypad does not work, the start, pause and reset buttoms do but not the rest, I even cleaned her up and still dead, I'll try her later on this week and see does anyone know where I can send her, the gold contacts looked good on her, in fact, internally she is nothing more than the same as the keypad configuration for the 5200 Trak-Ball, with the membranes a bit worn, does anyone have a Wico 5200 0-9/*/# keypad repair kit available so I can DIY it here at home like I did with the gold 0-9/*/#/start/pause/reset contacts on my 5200 Trak-Ball using the CX52 gold repair kit buttons I successfully used on it???
