Ballblaɀer Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Oh, one more thing -- there was something in the box that was making a low beeping/buzzing noise. Fortunately it didn't alert any postal employees along the way! Anyway, turns out it was super low batteries causing the death knell sound. I took 'em out of what they were in, trashed 'em, and dropped two new AA batteries into the box. If you take the thing that uses the batteries (it's unboxed), also take the donated batteries.
RickR Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 My bad on the batteries. It must have been beeping the whole way. I mean, they didn't start out low.
correagonzalez Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Wow, nice selections on the flashback and the Gameboy advance multicart, I see something on the lower left hand corner that looks like an Atari joystick, is that a keychain or something else? Can't tell
correagonzalez Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 Oh never mind, says on your last post lol

Can't tell Earlier upthread, chas10e mentioned that it comes from a Trivial Pursuit board game. It's the "Pop Culture" version, I think. Pretty neat.

Arenafoot Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 I'm surprised that a whole flashback system can fit in the junk box!

RickR Posted July 2, 2016 Report Posted July 2, 2016 I'm surprised that a whole flashback system can fit in the junk box! <Hint> That's why I had to pull out some of the chaff. I figured if someone fit a Genesis and a Timex Sinclair computer (still my favorite junk box item of all time by the way) in there, a flashback would fit. See, we inspire each other!
Rowsdower70 Posted July 3, 2016 Report Posted July 3, 2016 when I first receiced it from Willie I noticed he taped the corner seam really well the box is in great shape ... do not cover the bar code with stickers to much ... I see a couple of close ones (namely intellivision one on top) ...should be ok though That bar code is not for shipping, its for inventory of the boxes.

RickR Posted July 4, 2016 Report Posted July 4, 2016 As promised to Phil the nosweargamer, pictures of the fixed carts. Yes, I did unscrew through the labels. But I've never had good luck removing labels that aren't Parker Brothers or Activision. Especially the Atari silver labels -- they are impossible to get off without damage. The end labels came off with heat from a hair dryer. Lost Luggage, as mentioned earlier, had broken plastic pins inside, so the board would not stay in place. I used an electrical wire nut as a spacer. Good as new. Stargate had a broken back half of the casing. I stole the back from a donor "Defender" cart I had which had no board within. Thanks again for putting these in the junk box....they are now permanent members of my 2600 collection. I love em.
correagonzalez Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 I should be receiving the junk box either today or tomorrow, I'll do some recap once I get it, hopefully the box still in once piece, got lots of stuff to throw back in, if space permits ????????????
correagonzalez Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 It has arrived!!! Just picked this up from the post office, will be doing unpacking as soon as I get home this evening, I'll keep you guys posted! By the way, nice decorations overall????
RickR Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 I love how the corners are getting rounder. It's going to look like a wheel of cheese by the time it gets back to Willie.
Rowsdower70 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Posted July 5, 2016 It has arrived!!! Just picked this up from the post office, will be doing unpacking as soon as I get home this evening, I'll keep you guys posted! By the way, nice decorations overall Looking forward to seeing all the deco and what you took out!

correagonzalez Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 This is what I picked from the junk box Atari 2600 Sky Jinks Raiders of the lost ark Summer games Amidar, CIB???? Colecovision Victory Intellivision Space battle, blue box I have one of these in a red box, are there any differences between the 2? Either way it's still cool to have different versions Gba, Atari anniversary advance Some Atari 5200 manuals Centipede Pac man Colecovision dk manual Atari 5200 brochure, pretty cool This radio shack LCD game, haven't seen one of these, works great, pretty basic, way better than those tiger games???? Some ninja turtle action figures, even though I had another one of these, now he has found his lost brother! Also I picked up this GIjoe cartoon DVD, I'll probably give this to a coworker, he likes this stuff A voltron action figure/stamp A 2600 magnet/sticker, not sure but cool nevertheless Last thing is this Nintendo guide,can't compare it to the official Nintendo one, but I found this interesting to collect, so I picked it up. See attached pictures, I have stuffed the box with good junk for the next in line, it will be going to AtariBrian tomorrow
correagonzalez Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 On the last Picture, the brothers are just catching up lol
Ballblaɀer Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 Heads-up on that Atari 2600 logo sticker thing: it's got all-weather automotive-grade tape on the back, so you can stick it on your car as a badge/emblem. So don't go sticking it to anything you might want to pull it off of later! Excellent haul... just a few more stops to make now!
RickR Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 I want to ask where that 2600 sticker came from....I'd be interested in purchasing one....it might be the perfect thing to cover the hole in the top of my XEGS case!
Rowsdower70 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 I dig that Sonic Sea Battle!As for your Space Battle question, I am told that the blue version (the later version) in addition to making it the same color as the rest of their "Space Action Network" also toned down the difficulty. I haven't play tested that theory. Nice picks! "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square
correagonzalez Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 Very happy from what I picked up, will probably do this again, if there's another one
correagonzalez Posted July 6, 2016 Report Posted July 6, 2016 Whatever I put in the box I'll leave it a mystery for the next person getting the junk box
