Shawn Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 6 minutes ago, adamchevy said: Dave from Dave’s Arcade contacted me today about the description of my console and Edladdin controller so he could go find it in his storage unit. He said he had many Atari 2600 consoles to look through so he needed a good description. Atleast I might have my console back sometime soon! Now I feel bad for all the other Atari consoles that are lost in his storage unit. Unless he owns them all? You would think he would have kept your controller with your system making it VERY easy to find, but hey, what the hell do I know? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OLD CS1 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Keeping customer items together, labeled, and tracked are just a few things which should be standard-op for repair shops. This is something that Louis Rossman of Rossmann Repair Group is working on: to develop a set of industry standards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Looks like he found my console! Now hopefully I can get it shipped, and back in good condition. I’ll be playing my old 2600 in no time hopefully! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 It just occurred to me I posted this in the wrong section. Sorry about that. I’d like to request that this conversation be moved to wherever you think is best. Thanks, and thank you to those that where willing to help me. And to all of you that helped be a voice of reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh. I've worked in several repair shops and tech centers over the years....Never lost, misplaced, or mislabeled a single item - only time ANYTHING was done wrong was due to a co-workers attempt at sabotage to make me look bad in the inventory department. As in, he didn't think I would know the difference in microfarad sizes on ceramic caps...he tried to embarrass me in front of the boss and entire plant, then I showed the requisition papers that showed where HE changed the parts list before I got it. Small victory, as the owner didn't care - and guess who lost their job? Me....for catching a mistake and preventing hundreds of boards from being returned or damaged. Guess that's how they say "Thank You" in Arkansas... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve really only messaged them through Facebook messenger for the past 10 months. And most of the time they never messaged back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 My Atari 2600 and Edladdin controller were at the post office today! The problem is that they didn’t install the Tim Worthington component mod. If anyone can recommend someone to do that particular mod for me I would really appreciate it!

I got my $200 back, and they paid for return shipping. I feel like we’re even. Minus them keeping my console in storage for 10 months, and not performing any labor. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
