    Default Atari 2600 PlayAround Double Ender Problem

    Attention 2600 techies! I have a problem!

    I recently just won a complete 2 in 1 PlayAround Beat'Em & Eat'Em / Lady in Wading cartridge (R7) off ebay. The seller claims that the Lady in Wading side works after a couple of tries. I can't seem to get anything else but vertical blue and orange lines from it. The Beat'Em & Eat'Em side works fine! Nothing is rattling, and the contacts seem clean. Any advice? Any other reports of this happening? Please post here or PM me so I can get this back to working condition! Thanks!

    All of the Playaround carts had very poor quality control. I have a few with one or both sides broken. It's typical, unfortunately.

    Yeah I am going to clean & test it again as soon as I get a chance. Collectors pieces HAVE to work! Oh well, thanks again everyone, I will keep everyone posted.
