Mine arrived!  Just about exactly 2 weeks after payment.  It's awesome. 
 

Arrived today.  It's hard to see, but the dot-matrix address label is a nice feature from chas10e!

I'm slammed with work, but I'm going to try to get this out on Wednesday.  Willie is next I think.

Hey Hey Hey!  You got some nice stuff to play.

The cards are tractor fed but I use an old-timey typewriter

That looks a lot like the one I sold a while ago, but I don't think I sold it on ebay.  Funny how trashed some of those old consoles get.  But the 5200 is a tank and I'm not surprised it still works. 

Call Best Electronics and ask them if they sell spare case parts.  Or, as you mention, you could always buy a broken 5200 and just borrow the top of the case. 
 

Shipped it out this morning before I went to a pinball tournament, & I sent @RickR the tracking info.
As always some really cool stuff inside & trying to replace & re-stuff the stuff
A couple of homebrews, Fat Albert for 2600 & Gravitrex for the Vectrex, couple of Genesis games,  T2 & Cyborg Justice. Wolfenstein New Order for the xb360. Intellivision booklet & a couple teeny-weenie Mario figures

That's my plan...emulation.  I'll probably give it a shot later this week.  Great game. 

Check out this awesome $4 bag of toys I bought from my Goodwill. 
It has some of the BEST Happy Meal toys of all the time!
 

Related, but not related:  Earlier this year, McD's had "Avengers" toys that I thought were pretty cool.  They also had a promotion with our local sports team for free 6 piece nuggets every time the team scored 100 points.  So, my go-to the day after a Blazers win was to go to McD's and get the free nuggies and a hamburger happy meal.  I ended up with about 5 or six of the Avenger toys.   And also a pretty tasty lunch for about $3.50.  I like how the happy meals come with apples, which is a little healthier...but it is a bit embarrassing to order a happy meal as a grown adult. 

Since the season ended, I haven't been to McD's  

That's my plan...emulation.  I'll probably give it a shot later this week.  Great game.

Brainy guys got me 😠

I never received the copy of this I ordered off of Ebay.

Have shipped the box today to Chase, ready to go! I added a few things to make it interesting

It's good to  know about the paddle issue, but it's not a deal breaker.  After all, the portable (which I love) doesn't have paddles either.  Some games will just need to be played on an original console.  Paddle games, Indy 500, and anything that uses a number pad. 

But for 90% of the library, this thing will do fine.  At $50 or so, it's a good deal.  Plus, that HDMI output looks NICE. 

I think we've all clamored for that SD card slot, so I think I'm going to go ahead and get one of these!
 
 

Here's another one that wouldn't fit back, I'll check this out

I received it today, I had to take out more that I wanted to, other the stuff I put it wouldn't fit back in the box, see attached picture, I'll contact Rick for this address so I can ship the box in Monday, thanks.

A single game cart with no sound when other games DO have sound?   Never heard of that problem, and I'm not really sure it's possible...

May we get a better shot of the end label?  The only possibility I can think of is that you got a PAL cart.  If that was the case, you'd see a "P" on the end label.

Otherwise, I'd try playing another cart.  Turn the sound up. If that works, then try playing Yars immediately after. 
 

The box is on its way to CG! 

I remember liking New Coke back then.  But I have a feeling I'd think it's too sweet as an oldster.
