    Thumbs up Atari VCS/2600 repair course video

    I recently uploaded this on YouTube. The footage is circa 1982 and I archived an original VHS copy a few years ago (and transferred it to DVD). There's 10 parts to it, and it contains some good info on learning how to repair systems. There's even a part about doing basic controller repairs. Check it out:

    I find this hilarious and oddly compelling, and I have absolutely no interest in the 2600.

    It's a shame, the internet remembers everything, yet stuff like this will probably still be lost for eternity due to apathy.

    Maybe you find his Bronx accent hilarious, but everything he's explaining is accurate info. What's hilarious to me is someone saying they have no interest in the system, but yet taking the time to watch this
