Anyone have a broken 2600?

[Ian Primus]

I have posted this before, but I got no response. I have been trying to hunt down a broken Atari 2600, and I just lost an ebay auction for 13 broken Atari boards, so I thought I would give this message board another try. I need a console to take a cartridge connector from to use in a RAM cart reader/writer project. I hate to tear one of my Ataris apart, seeming as though they all work, and they are different models and are all in good condition. What I need is a broken or otherwise damaged console to take the connector off of. I do realize 2600 systems rarely break, but maybe I can get ahold of one that doesn't work. Thanks!

Good luck, these things can take a lot of abuse. I remember a post where someone put one through the dish washer, and it STILL worked!

superb, well - I'm about to attempt a composite mod on one of my jr's. so there may be 1 wasted console soon

I actually have a broken 2600 that I'm debating about what to do with. I needed some bits from it for another 2600 with some cosmetic problems. I'm more or less done with it. Give me a ring here if you're interested: [email protected]
