'Tis a sad day in the Escape Pod, my friends, for my Atari 2600 - the longest-service piece of video game hardware from my original collection in the early 80s - is officially dead. The power supply is OK, I've tried it on multiple RF switches...nada. She plays no more.
The search is on for a replacement, but this just kinda took the wind out of my sails, like an old friend is gone. And right after I came back from CGE with a buttload of new 2600 carts too.
