Weird thing about this heavy sixer...it plays on channel 2 only. No switch. No channel 3.
early models didn't have a channel selector hole in the base
some didn't even have a place for the switch on the board while others did

difficulty switch to "B" level 6

I have three Fisher Price movie viewers. Things are pretty obscure.
I rarely ever see them for sale anywhere, though I do have at least three movies: Lonesome Ghosts, Cinderella, and Instructional Football Techniques from a real football player whose name escapes me at the moment.
The Football movie is unfortunately broken, as the film ripped in two not long after I got it, and sadly, I don't think there is any way to repair it.
(I believe it to be extremely rare, though. I could not find ANY information about instructional sports titles from Fisher Price online, so I don't know.)
film can be spliced back together
I have half thought about getting one of them fisher price veiwers (& moo-vies) when I saw one but my insanity has the end SOMEPLACE !!!!

Just in time for the PnP chat tonight:
I got one of these as a gift wanting a key-chain ...
it did fit in my pocket ok , but was worried about breaking the stick in my pocket , it did sort of fold off to one side , I took it out of daily use there & do use it as a key-chain for my Atari cabinet
I would like the paddle key-chain for the other door & perhaps my car keys ...
but ebay prices seem to high on these for my blood, waiting for one to show up in a thrift

How large of an order was it? or how large would it have to be for another order?
the shipping was the killer for the phelonic balls unless bought in bulk
I recall an interest list was made & order was placed based on that a few more where purchased
there were two different thread types
he placed an order for 100 knobs

Thank you chas10e for selling me this beauty. I am gonna read this thing front to back!
I like just looking at the pictures
...google the lubricant types for the wheel , interesting stuff I'll prolly ask a tech their opinion on the stuff

this schematic page 20 looks like a couple coin slots & a couple lamps
http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/R/Road%20Blasters%20Schematic%20Package.pdf
you can get new molex pins & replace those ( I have done "trifericon" pins before)
I had bought this crimper & it's pretty awesome ... https://www.amazon.com/HT-225D-Cycle-Ratchet-Crimping-interchangeable/dp/B007JLN93S/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1468451840&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=molex+crimper
it crimps BOTH the electrical connection & the strain relief at the same time ( with some practice
)I also got the molex pin remover but hadn't used it yet https://www.amazon.com/Connector-Remover-Computer-Extractor-Sleeving/dp/B0094MIS9U/ref=pd_bxgy_469_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=B8DWR29RGD6VDKR0QA78
but should beable to do with a ink pen
EDIT one for molex pins

And here's the Wheel Of Fortune Pnp (I like it with this units create special controllers for the game)
yeah this thing is great family fun ...
I got this the same time I got my Vectrex & after setting that up I was testing out the PnP when some of my nephews arrived
we played the PNP for hours & my Vectrex got very little attention :unsure:
instead of playing like they do on the TV show with a courteous clap as the wheel spins , they will chant "Bankrupt - Lose a Turn" hoping the get the control of the wheel.
the gold colored one you mentioned near the end of the video get's rid of the "D-pad". letter selection is done with the wheel that spins left & right.

Am I the only one that thinks the "bad" reviews are the most fun to watch? The Coleco review is classic.
the review wasn't bad , just the games were bad .... & the names were NOT changed to protect the innocent
I hadn't ever tried the coleco one myself ...it just looked bad ... but it was certainly better than it looked by the review ...
so great job on all PnP's I have seen so far

PnP's are great & you touched on their charm ... their colorful design & pretty accurate gameplay
if you see these games in an arcade don't pass them by ...
Bosconian plays better in the arcade because of the 8 way joystick as opposed to the 4 way joystick on this unit you'll see in attract mode ship moving diagonally as it should be able to.
I had toyed with the idea of finding a way to eliminate "the re-stricter plate" on the inside but didn't want to destroy my unit.

Whoever wants it most, I can flip a coin otherwise
Either of you have a really jacked up master system or genesis gamepad? I'll consider any offer, I'm not picky. Anything Atari , Pre Saturn Sega, SNES related, a cool game poster, an autographed picture of Larry Csonka....whatever.
I have a 3'rd party genny controller ... haven't really tested it ... gotta get out all the bricks for my sega-stack
I'm ok with a coin toss as well

Special delivery from Senor Fergojisan!
This is a game I've wanted for oh, 26 years now. The only times I played this was during basketball season of my junior year in high school. Before nearly all of our games, we would grab Burger King & gather at my buddy's house & play this before leaving for our games. He had created our HS baseball team & was playing a season with them. We were captivated by it. Thank you Ferg!!
Tomorrow (May 19) is my boy Winston's 7th birthday, so I had him pose with my score. (Don't worry, he gets presents other than CIB NES games)
does Winston put a little extra slobber on the controllers before he puts them down ? ... that's always the trouble playing ball with a fellow liek that

Half-price day at the Salvation Army today. Got the stuff below. The Spongebob plug and play is interesting because it has a slot in it (labeled "Game Key"). Could it be to add more games?
yeah I only have mebbe 1 PnP with a key that fits a game ... it propitiatory to that particular PnP ....
mine isn't game key enabled ... or mebbe it's game key disabled :unsure: ... I never opened it up
I recall that Spongebob sports PnP to be pretty good .... most of the Spongebob ones are ... the pineapple house one is kind of a stinker but it looks cool anyways

Are you serious? You got it to play a game?
I didn't plug it in right away , I did the mod first
all the ports didn't work with 6 different carts but a couple did
now none of them work again ... I suspect the caps but I don't really know what they do, I have a capacitance meter I snagged from a thrift, pulled a cap & it's value was five times higher than what what's printed on side
Thrift Store Finds
in Price Check!

there is a channel selector switch inside there as well ... a sqare hole UNDER the battery holder ... also best on an older TV
the battery holder should be phillips screws while getting all the way inside the console requires a special security bit
