I have 7 wii's  , 2 of them are red.
Good thing I didn't show you the pic of the 5 xbox 360's

When you work in a pawn shop, a lot of good deals come with it.

I pay $15 for wii's and $30 for xbox 360's

 Nobody ever notices stuff in the pics like the RAU-30 and stuff


You have some sweet stuff!

I just picked up " MUNCHER " for my Bally Astrocade, an I am impressed on how close it is to an full arcade version when you look at what crap the 2600 version was for the times, plus its 4 player !

its my original since like 1980, the joysticks are a trip, trigger pistol grip with a 8 way stick & spinning / rotational potentiometer type control at the base

 I'm looking to improve the RF out to a more modern AV mod... if anyone has seen anything / info on the web

I used to have a Pacman console. I loved that old boy but it broke down eventually. Luckily my parents kept it and I stumbled across it recently. Got it fixed up and looking good all thanks to a guy stationed in my town. I have to recommend him, he doesn't only refurbish but also sells a lot of what he fixes up. Here is a link to my main man Steve's site -- http://www.arcadespecialties.com/ Seriously cool dude, awesome to talk to about the old games.

I have the same issue with my Atari 2600. I get a noisy video signal when I adapt it for AV. My best solution is to use an old TV that has the TV antenna screws with the original video adaptor the came with the Atari. If anyone has a solution to this I'm sure there are a bunch of people that would love to get in on it.

Simplest way to do this is to but a stand alone unit called a modulator (if you can find one that goes from RF to Scart, normally thay are the other way, but they do exist.

But if you have a VCR hanging about, use that.

Tune in the 2600 to a channel on the VCR, then RGB or SCART back out to the TV.

You can even record your gameplay to VHS and send into Twin Galaxies. ;)

I might be the oldest person on these Forums (almost 52), so when I was a kid (and money was pretty tight), we didn't even have an Atari 2600.  We had the Sears Tele-Games that played Atari 2600 Cartridges.
