That's one heck of a nice haul!

 

Congrats!

 

Is the Wico spliter cable there too?

 

It would be ironic, if after all that, you had no working controllers.

Hoenstly haven't had ANY time to hook it up and play, thats what tommorow is for. After feeding the kids and the house quieting down, It seems too late to be diving into all those games now.. almost 12am here in Central time..

 

I think the 2 games I'm REALLY thrilled about having CIB is Montezuma and Frogger II. I've got just the carts, but box & manual is awesome.

His non working controllers?

Great find! I have getting more and more convinced that there were no more finds like that in people's basements.. all I find now is loose Genesis systems and NHL 95.

Are you sure those pics above are so small.

 

I wish Atariage didn't make all the pictures so small now I can't see anything.

[GrandviewCoin]

Did you click on the pics?, those pics I sent are not in the least 'small'.

Weird, on my browser, the pics say "Click To Enlarge" on them.

That's a crazy haul

 

I, too, started collecting 5200 late. I almost have a complete set now, though, so it's all good. Have fun with it, it's become one of my favorite system to play.

You still win that contest, I think. Cap'n Wanky there still cracks me up.

[jnice]

Wow, that's an EXCELLENT purchase for $50. I had to purchase a lot of the rarer things in your find separately on eBay (Wico stick, trak ball, Pitfall II, Mr. Do!'s castle) which combined cost me at least $50 alone! Oh, to have a 4-port again (not a fan of the 2-port) ...

[GrandviewCoin]

Well, it works.

 

Like 95% anyways..

 

One controller: 3 out of 4 fire buttons don't work, start pause reset dead, stiick is fine

 

2nd controller: all buttons work, but stick is missing the rubber shoe so it is hard to play with.

 

Wico controller: Works great! unless you want to go down, wich seems to be it's default position..

 

Gonna have to look up how to tweak these a bit I guess..

 

Heres a pic of it running Berzerk.. oh and all the carts ran fine, some needed alittle cleaning..

 

and DAMN THAT PITFALL 2 MUSIC!! It's still in my head..

And yes, that Toshiba TV is a 19", STEREO, Crystal Clear, from 1983 with 3, Count'em 3! STEREO AV inputs, 1 STEREO AV Out, co-ax and the 2 screw inputs.. The controls in the middle bottom is actually the remote which pops out of the tv itself, Tv has everything.. This thing must have cost big $$ in '83

Surprise!

...

Or not.

Okay, now THIS is a surprise.

 

Quick fix: Swap the tops of the sticks. You'll have one with working buttons AND a boot.

Oooohhhh...

[yuppicide]

Cha-ching! Good score. I'd love to get a 5200.

[spacecadet]

Great score with all the stuff in boxes, especially... the 5200's one of my favorite systems. I got a similar deal on mine - my games were not boxed but on the plus side I got two perfect-condition and perfectly working controllers, and two perfect Wico sticks with the Y-cables... plus a bunch of games and a boxed system (still with the plastic sheet on the metal) all for $10. That's probably my proudest "find" ever ("found" in my boss's closet, actually).

 

Too bad about your controllers but that is unfortunately not uncommon at all with the 5200... at least you do have the parts to make one fully functional controller out of it.

[GrandviewCoin]

Thanks again, It's always a rush just to put something like this in my truck to take home.. Funny thing is I don't really need any of this. I picked it up for all the boxes and manuals, and maybe nicer condition carts that I already own. I have every 5200 game except Zaxxon, Bounty Bob, & Meteorites. I was hoping the box this was all in might have contained at least Zaxxon, but no go.

 

I was going to go through all this stuff and use it for a local trade meet that may happen sometime soon..

I notice NHL 95 everywhere too, thought it was just my area stops.

[classics]

Wow in all the years I went to thrift stores and garage sales I never found a single 5200 lot that nice. Good find!

[tillenterprises]

Awesome find, Dan! Congratulations!
