RickR Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) I got this item from a very nice fellow on Facebook. He sent it to me for the cost of shipping because it was broken. Jmjustin6 also helped me out with this one. It arrived, and sure enough, was broken. But I've disassembled it and it now works! Needed several solder points touched up. Especially those on the power connector. I will say that it needs a good cleaning now that I have it disassembled. It smells of smoke and cat (I'm exaggerating, it's mostly just dusty). I suspect this guy: Who can guess what it is? Edited January 3, 2017 by RickR - Ω -, fergojisan, Atari Creep and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chas10e Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 sweet Rick, I knew what it was having fixt' mine as well if switches stick, cleaning 'round both the switch & the insert & a light coat of WD-40 helps especially that big ball serve button. I wonder how well this stuff works .... Lost Dragon, Atari 5200 Guy and Atari Creep 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 You are right, the big serve button is a little sticky. I was going to try rubbing the hole with wax paper. Atari 5200 Guy, Atari Creep and Lost Dragon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
