[Nesmaster]

in the mail

Little Samson manual

[VACRMH]

Just a few things at the goodwill...

Might and Magic - Darkside of Xeen "Clue Book"
Rise of the Triad Official Player's Guide
Road Rash 3D (Non GH )

And then in the mail I got a Cham-Cham figure still in the box, and the seller from eBay actually spent the $4 for S&H on Shipping it O.o

Doesn't happen to often, he could have taken some out for handling, but i'm happy

I cleaned out my dad's dead truck today. Found some music tapes:

ACDC PoweRage
ACDC Ballbreaker
ACDC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
The Beach Boys Greatest Hits Volume 2

Your Sears Video Arcade II is in better shape than mine. Mine has the first owner's name on it, And the cable was being held together with tape when i got it. But the video cable has died since.

Do you have the AC for it? I don't see it in the picture..

I got a compatible PS with it, yeah. Atari branded, not Sears, so I didn't bother putting it in the pic. The pawn owner offered me 3rd party controllers for the machine as well (besides the wireless), but I have plenty of controllers so I didn't care. I'll have to hunt down the Sears ones now. 4Jays sells them I think.

You know you could probably replace that dead RF cable on your machine. If the board inside is set up anything like a woodgrain (or even a Jr) then the cable is not soldered on. Just pop it off and put a new one on...

I am admittedley curious as to what the board looks like inside this thing. I'll PM you if I find out anything worthwhile...

Thanks for the info.

I don't have the Exact Power supply either, But i do know three Power supplies that work with it:

Genesis 1 PS
Master System PS
Nintendo NES PS

Here is a site where you can find out more about the console:

http://darkwatcher.psxfanatics.com/console/2600.htm

It goes directly to the Atari 2600 Page.

My Sears Video Arecade II's Video cable goes directly to the TV. Do you think that it was modded? If it was, it's pretty well done.

Well, I picked up my 1000th game (plus) this week. Was going to wait and get something like Hyper Duel, but I couldn't resist:

Donkey Kong Jr. Math, loose, but in excellent shape - $6

Also picked up some other NES curiousities, all loose:

Chiller - $2
Venice Beach Volleyball - $2
Thundercade $1

Finally, was in EB last night and saw a brand new Hip Gear PSOne battery pack that I had to have for $10.

Also picked up some other NES curiousities, all loose:

Chiller - $2
Venice Beach Volleyball - $2
Thundercade $1

Chiller is a good find. It's sort of rare. But what makes it worth having is that it's pretty gruesome stuff. It was something of a grail (with a little g) for me, and I was lucky enough to find a complete one for $2.

$50 at Goodwill on Friday netted me the best find I've seen there in years:



That 2600 is a heavy-sixer, I think it's probably the first one I've owned . The manual stack was awesome and has filled quite a few holes in my collection, but the carts are all tradebait. Same thing with the INTV; there were a few carts in there I didn't have like Microsurgeon, Swords & Serpents etc and after gleaning through for missing overlays and manuals the rest will be bartered off or Ebayed.

Between the Sears Video Arcade II and this it's been one of my best weeks ever, and it's barely spring. Happy hunting days hopefully remain ahead.

Got Sol-Feace in the mail Friday. Yay!

Speaking of which, did Sol-Feace ever come with a manual?

[Trevor Belmont]

Received a copy of Download II for the PC Engine Duo Friday from a great seller on eBay (mercypal). The game came in flawless condition and it's incredible to boot.
