Sorry if this has been answered before in advance 

 

I have this 2-port 5200 that has this awful display.  I tried another coaxial cable from my 2600 that is confirmed working but the picture is the same.  Maybe its one of those trimpots?  I also cleaned the cartridge and cartridge slot.  I guess i could pick up another cartridge and try that first.  I also have no controller.  Any thoughts?

Are you tuned to the correct channel on your TV? Because that very much looks like you’ve got the TV on one channel but the 5200 is outputting on the other.

You rule.  I forgot that the TV i was trying only does "Ch. 2, Video 1, and Video 2".  Not sure why.  But it definitely works, thank you!!   Just need some controllers now...lol
