Hello, good folks with AtariAge!

Great forum.

Was given a Telstar Alpha; hooked up to a TV using a 75ohm->RCA vid in adaptor. See the game, but it is in recycle/auto mode. 

None of the controllers do anything. 

Any advice? Many thanks.

I don't have a Telstar Alpha , so made a quick look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleco_Telstar_series

 

is the battery tray clean ? ( no signes of prior corrosion?)

 

I suppose the reset button could have failed

 

it's good that you have gotten a picture :)
