Tubular Gearhead

Hi AtariAge, I have not posted here in a couple of years, and I know that for the most part vague for sale threads like this are not regarded highly, but I am just testing the water so here goes: In years past I have amassed quite a console collection with most of the main brands and types- 2600,5200,7800, 400, 800, xl,xe, Collecovision, Astrocade, Intellivision, and probably many others I am forgetting. I have since moved on to other hobbies and have thought about putting several auctions up on Ebay but I know that will be a lot of work. Off the bat, I know I have almost a complete 7800 collection with several of the titles boxed with those fancy plastic protectors on the cases. For example, I know I have new shrinkwrapped Water Ski and Tank Command as well as others. All are NTSC. I also have about 4 or 5 consoles. I think I have at lease two of the real early ones with the expansion port boxed (EP serial numbers if I am recalling that right?). My focus back when I was collecting was on rarities, so I know I have several high ticket items (for example- Complete Tigervision 2600 collection including River Patrol, CTCW, Intellivision boxed Fathom, several of the boxed homebrews (Pink Panther, Halloween?), I dunno, tons of stuff... So... before I go taking pictures of everything, separating it all out and throwing it up on Ebay, I wanted to see if anyone from the community wanted to contact me about making an offer- Specifically on the 7800 stuff for now. I know roughly what stuff is worth, so this is not a fire sale, but I will definitely work with someone who really wants to pick this stuff up and offer something we are both happy with. I wont be checking here very often, so instead of PM's, I can be contacted at clwilliams658@yahoo.com. If can text pictures to interested parties in the evenings when I get home. Thanks, Chris

As always- count me in for a cart!

Even if it is not needed, I'll do it anyway.. PM sent!

:rolling:

I'm sorry, childish I know...

Yep, this looks fantastic. Definitely put me on the pre-order list whenever and wherever there is one!

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 350364132406 Edit- whatever, for some reason the item # is not working for me even though I copied it right from Ebay. Just look for "rf demodulator", however, and there are a few there...

I looked through my Xevious carts last night and I also have both variants. The one with the bold, white label is copyright 1986 and all the other plain (at least I think they are plain) ones are 1987.

I just read this thread- so I am reposting this additional information if it helps or inspires anyone. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/183181-dull-color-to-me/page__fromsearch__1 see post #8 Cheers!

Payment Sent! As always, great work Bob- and thank you so much!!!

That is the same type of serial number that shows up on the very first run of 7800's made in El Paso Texas. I always thought the "EP" stood for El Paso- but who knows? What is interesting is that the "EP" serial numbers show up on serial number stickers that say made in Taiwan, made in Sunnyvale, etc.- so maybe they just used whatever sticker they had and it doesn't necessarily confirm where it was made- i.e. maybe this 4-switcher was an early version made in Texas.

Count me in for a cart! Looks Great!

Well, I was going to say Large Scale Integration (i.e. VLSI)- but after looking at your link I have a feeling that is not it.

The seller said this was the over-the-top listing he was making fun of. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 130557974178 Pretty crazy.
