Anyone here currently doing 2600 repairs and AV mods?

[TapperP]

Long story short: I have a heavy sixer with no sound output (just static noise). I have tried adjusting the ferrite core with no effect. I am not skilled in electronics at all. I'd like to get it fixed, and/or also AV modded (preferably with the UAV). I'm in NC, USA.

 

Anyone here currently accepting such work? I would want to see some feedback regarding past work before sending anything over, of course.

 

I contacted electronicsentimentalities last week but they did not respond, so I'm guessing they are not currently doing business(?).

 

If you have or know of another such reputable modding/repair business in USA that is currently taking work please let me know. Thanks.

In the AtariAge Facebook group, someone asked a similar question. Couple names popped up there.

Jesse Hardesty mentioned in that Facebook thread is @-^CrossBow^- on here, who has done work on a number of systems. He did an AV mod and refurb work on my 7800, and I'd definitely recommend him 

 

In case you didn't know, there is a User Feedback Forum here, so you can see what others have to say about the work of anyone you may be  considering.

Thank you both. I have now acquired another heavy sixer that is working perfectly, but I would like to get it AV modded someday. The one with broken sound is being returned to seller for refund.

Hi Tapper, I'm in NC and have successfully modded 3 2600's so far if you would consider, NOT an expert but growing knowledge for sure, happy to consider, all 3 were UAV

Awesome! If you have any feedback on Atariage about those mods I would love to take a look.

 

I know heavy sixers can be a little more challenging to mod, but what I want is a pretty simple version of things, i.e. I don't need input drilled into the case.
