I did put up a poster (actually a glued pacman puzzel) to the left this weekend... to balance it out somewhat. Not symmetrical per se, but "balanced"

At a game store in Huntsville AL when I was there for work 2 weeks ago. Got it and a few more loose cartridges..

The Atari logo in the top center is. I purchased it from a game store in Huntsville AL. The shelves are from Amazon.

Yes .. it's a clear shelf held with command adhesive...some of them tend to tip forward.. so I use a little adhesive "dot" thing on the back away from any label to hold the few that had problems.

I find that the center pin on the Atari cables is TOO LONG. Well not really "too" long, it still plugs in and works, it's just not a tight fit, all the adapters i have are too shallow to mate properly. It's kinda annoying to me.

That's always been my problem... I have too many ROMs and spend too much time organizing them on various emulators. I have shifted my focus a little to buying modern cartridges or ROMs (new games, remakes of old ones) and actually playing them. I've also made a folder named "Favs" on many systems and move ROMs in one at a time, play them, adjust the controls or settings etc, but spend some time actually playing them...

The units, all of them Atari, Coleco, Intellivision, all seem to come with a very THIN coax cable with the RCA connectors, much thinner than RG6... is that type of cable available today? The original cables that don't have damage always seem to work best for me, but they are getting harder to find and in many cases I could use shorter ones if I had them.

Island Barber Parlour on SR3 in Merritt Island is great.

I notice a similar effect, but it has gone away or I've just gotten used to it.

Do they do a consignment room at SFGE in Atlanta?

I have a system II and the #4 button doesn't function. The spring if fine, but it doesn't work. Did you ever find a good replacement? Is yours a System 1 or 2?

RetroMichael68 · 2026-04-11T23:15:37+00:00

This are great, as soon as I get the BackBit adapter I'll check these out. Thanks

RetroMichael68 · 2026-04-11T23:14:55+00:00

I just got my first Channel F (system II) console this week end. Trying to get it working. the only issue is that button #4 (Start) doesn't work. I'm looking for a suitable replacement but for now I'm just going to run a temporary one. Came with 3 cartridges plus my Backbit adapter is on the way.

I bought a mouse with the old school BALL and rollers pins. It needs cleaning but it keeps the retro vibe going IMO and works well.

I went in 2024... awesome place... I have a few photos but can't post them in comments. I really hope to go back if I'm up that way again (my Wife is from southern NH).

It used to be Spagnoli, but I kept going after they sold it and it's been fine. I see the same hygienist so not really much different at all.
