I'm not happy, you save, AV and stereo modded Sears Video Arcade (2600)

[Osgeld]

I have sold a bunch of system's bought off ebay dead, which end up being dirty contacts. Clean everything, give the case a bath toss in some stuff to get someone started, its all good

 

But not this machine! What I have is a sears tele-games video arcade (2600) bought off ebay and stone dead. I got it working by cleaning all the switches, cart slot, replacing voltage regulator ... the usual stuff but there's some things with this machine I am not happy with, so while normally I would charge 85$ shipped for a six switcher with mods, 2 super common games and a controller, I am letting this one go for 60$ shipped to the continental USA

 

What I dont like about it

• right hand controller port has broken plastic, though it works fine
• av ports and power led holes are out of whack cause I dropped my durn drill from 6 foot up onto concrete and now it wobbles
• the silver label has become unstuck and bowed up under the cart port, and I go messing with it, im going to make things worse
• most importantly there is video artifacts aside from the normal jailbars in a av mod of this sort, see screenshot of pole position where it shows up the worst on my 720p bench tv

what you get with it

• composite modded 2600
• stereo mod with stereo / mono option via toggle switch on back
• av cable
• generic power supply
• oem controller (with a few cat or small dog chew marks) but brand new dome switch contacts, so it plays like a hot damn
• forgot to add, main reason it was dead was a bad RIOT chip, replaced with a new old stock bought from jameco

60$ shipped, Continental USA, and paypal only please, basically covers cost's and saves a otherwise decent machine from the dump, which is where it was headed before I got wind

Buy with confidence, my light sixer is absolutely perfect.

[stringfellow]

so damn tempting. I will think it over

Fixing those unstuck bowed labels takes about 30 seconds.

2017 this hits ebay

How is this still available? If you are lurking in these forums wondering about what it would be like to play Atari - buy this. You will find games and controllers easily from other members. This is the best deal you will get on a modded system. The things Os is complaining about don't really matter, you will love this.
