WTB: Colecovision controllers

[+johnnywc]

Hello all,

 

I just got my Collectorvision Phoenix and I'm looking to see what the best options are for controllers.   I think an original CV controller would be fine; I think I saw some with a ball replacement for the disc sometime ago.  Any suggestions are welcome, or if you have some controllers you would like to sell that would be great too!

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

John

An NTT Super Famicom controller would treat you very well. This one is only $40.

Make sure not to buy a ColecoVision Flashback controller. They are more wired for NES on a chip. The ball-top ones on eBay now are all Flashback controllers.

Mumbai who is a member sells colecovision games and accessories. He has a controller for sale. I have purchased from him several times over the years and have always received my items well packed and in great condition and working order.  

 

I would PM him right away, because the demand for controllers has just spiked with other members such as yourself wanting to purchase them for their Phoenix.

I can second that @mumbai is great to deal with and I highly recommend him. If you are looking for alternative controllers, @RetroGameBoyz's ColecoVision offering is quite good and results in less hand cramps than the originals. Purchase one through AA or Facebook instead of his eBay or Etsy store and you will save a few bucks.

Thanks everyone!  I am in contact with @mumbai and picking up a couple of the classic controllers.   I'm also going to check out the gamepad from @RetroGameBoyz in case the Colecovision classic controller causes hand cramps like the good ol' days.
