Got Myself a 4 switcher for Free. + Other Items

[ussexplorer]

Well a while back the guy who purchased this apartment complex / antique store (At one time antique store.) said there was a atari 2600 somewhere in a pile of boxes. Sure enough yesterday. I got my prize. A 4 switch Atari with orange band. Chewed or worn out RF cable. No power cord or joysticks but some common carts. On the bottom is a orange tag saying made in taiwan. Also I must have never looked into a atari 2600 4 switch since the circuit board is all one peice and I did not know that.

 

 

On the circuit board.

Cleaned the dust off and have yet to plug it in. But being in such nice condition compaired to the last one I cleaned witha leaking 16v CAP? It should fire right up.

 

Some of the other things I got:

 

C64 with some kind of weird grease on the keyboard. (no power brick)

Several Vic 20 game. Some in pretty bad shape. Mold / Water damage

Same era joystick for the C64. (Seen them before with C64 system)

A water damaged / sun faded / missing parts? C64 Thermal Printer. Alpha Com 42

A very badly damaged NES Caption Comic Game

A single TI game Parsec

A semi damaged Radio Shack Score Board. (Coroded batteries Mostly.) Going to clean it up and see if it runs. has the gun too.

Nothing is for trade or sale. He has a few more rooms to go through. So who knows. He might find a vic-20. I have my doubts. Even though this place said antique store. Most of what was left and even at the time was Junk. 100% junk. I'll keep you guys / gals updated.

Very nice find. The VIC stuff is unusual. I really like the VIC 20, it has some great games, and in many ways it reminds me of the 2600. It has rather clunky graphics, but the games are fast as hell and very addicting.

 

Free classic game stuff is always good

Congrats on the score.

The best finds are the true treasure hunts. Searching through piles of artifacts covered in the dust of ages, to finally find the grail.
