    Default Boxed Coleco Vision

    Only one controller though, which is strange. Anyway, here is the package.

    Boxed Coleco Vsion
    Box is rough (wear on the ends, some tearing, but intact)
    TV Switcher box
    AC Adapter
    Cord to run from unit to switcher box
    Directions
    Original Styrofoam packing
    Donkey Kong pack in
    Venture Cartridge (with directions booklet)

    Assuming it's working, which I have yet to verify, what do you think? The unit itself is quite clean and in good shape. I have no idea why one controller would be missing, but them's the breaks, I guess.

    Check to see if the machine works. Colecovision consoles have all the reliability of an Atari 5200 joystick. If it works right out of the box, it'll change the amount it's worth. If it's glitchy, that'll bring it's asking price down a lot. And the odds are against you in that regard. I had to buy four Colecovisions before I found one that worked halfway decently.

    Ah, good to know. I'll give Donkey Kong a try tonight.
