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

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 !!!!

I know I'm making too big a deal of this one...but I just found it so fascinating to see the Sesame Street movie sitting in the "office supplies" section of Goodwill and knowing instantaneously what it was.  Girl at the register asked me what it was, but even after I explained, had no idea.  Way before her time.  Anyhoo, I'm so happy to have this, even with my home-made label.

Well, they aren't to scale...but I think it looks pretty good!

yeah I we were talking about it in chat here
 
it were others in that post that knew about the original CV controller specs, I was messing around with the CV-Flashback

All in

Thank you chas10e for selling me this beauty. I am gonna read this thing front to back!

this schematic page 20 looks like a couple coin slots & a couple lamps

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
 

Today's Goodwill haul.  Not too shabby!
 

 
And also a couple of items from eBay. 
 

From RickR, a cleaned-up, awesome set of VCS paddles, perfect for playing Astroblast with!
 
And from chas10e, a super cool "Tom Boy" Taiwan Cooper box.  Come for the weird title and cover art, stay for the broken English game description on the back of the box!
 
Thanks!

Ok, so I went to the local Goodwill here. It's having a grand opening sale at its new location, in addition to the July 4th sale.
 
Anyway, I made out like a bandit.
 
After my success with getting my Dreamcast connected to my tv recently, I had just started thinking about my Xbox again, and decided I needed to get accessories for it next.
 
BAM! Not only did I find not one, but TWO av cables, but a Gamestop brand Xbox controller, too!
 
If that wasn't enough, I found a genuine Nintendo GBA SP charger... Not even a week after I bought a generic GBA charger off of Ebay.
 
I also found a Genesis game, Wii game, and a case for an Xbox game, AND another 3DS charger.
 
I'll post pics of the results here shortly.

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.

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. 

I've gotten the Lynx out and wanted to share my collection.  I haven't even tried a few of these games yet (Rygar, Kung Food, Roadblasters).  Reviews coming soon.
 
 

some of the cib dupes I have ....

 

 
 
I do have some sealed games that can never be opened if that's your sort of thing
