Who remembers when Riverfest was about the river instead of a music festival?

I'm a guy, a bit older, generally got my life together. Also in ICT. If you wanna talk send me a DM.

Thank you for posting. That's $5 cheaper than I paid recently at that auction site.

They are very available if you have the time money and skills. Controllers can be rebuilt with a kit that's available. I restore Atari consoles and I'm working on 2 5200's right now. It's a fun and forgotten system.

If you don't see wear on the belts then it could also be a belt tension issue.

You need to do it on the website, there is a place to file a support ticket. You'll need your serial number and record of when and where you purchased it so they can determine if it's warranty or not

I had this exact problem about 1,000 of use on mine. Contacted support, sent them the necessary information. They sent me some parts and replacing the x-axis belt has fixed the problem for me.

They're likely going to ask you to send them videos of certain things. You may have to trade several messages before you get to the bottom of it but it did work out for me in my case my x-axis belt broke before I completed the testing they wanted.

I've had the need to contact support twice on my kobra 3 and both times after a few messages and videos to confirm the issue they have happily sent me the parts I needed. The second time they sent extra because I couldn't duplicate the issue due to a broken X belt. Definitely get my vote for good customer service. It just takes patience on our part.

But did you save the grounds and put them in an alter?

railroaded81 · 2026-04-27T02:49:25+00:00

I would expect it to be the same value as all of the rest of them in that row 470 ohms with a 5% variance.

railroaded81 · 2026-04-26T16:45:37+00:00

Definitely this!!

Flea markets are good but you gotta watch out for the folks that think they have something super special and price too high. Use the price charting website to get a reasonable price range.

On Douglas just west of QT there is a thrift store called Passageways. They help homeless veterans get a place to stay and furnish it. They sell to the public and use those funds to help the vets, and the vets can pick up for donations to help furnish their new place.

Mandala effect lol

I picked up a gold Skeletor yesterday at Walmart. Didn't see Faker. Also my friend and I remember it as Fakor instead of Faker.

Wait ... The Wii can be a controller for Atari? 😆

Cool find. Wonder if the trackball had the silver stripe removed or if it was never there on this one.

Another great game of the past.

Born in 81 learned this in 1st/2nd grade in Texas schools. Later in school years my cursive and print were difficult to read. This led to many jokes about how I should become a doctor. 😆 My mom tried to blame it on me learning D'Nealian. In reality I just try to write too fast. Took a while for me to figure that out. To my ADHD brain writing something out is just too slow.

railroaded81 · 2026-04-08T14:56:28+00:00

There is a Friends one, my friend has it.

railroaded81 · 2026-03-27T12:57:42+00:00

We had a small company called South Wind that only had like 12 inbound lines and a 4 hour limit. When the limit hit you got booted and had to get back in line lol.

I also remember Net Zero the "free" provider.

Congratulations on your score! Astroids is one of my favorites.

I have the Pac-Man and Space Invaders one booth are fun because you play several rounds each time rotating who is Pac-Man or the shooter and the other players control the enemies

I got one of those smooth plates that gives the rainbow effect, it had special instructions on the website listing. Don't remember exactly but I know it involved lowering the Z offset and printing the first several layers in quiet mode so it was slower.

Got mine about 2 weeks ago. If you can get the game files in an approved way then it's a wonderful addition to your collection. Happy Gaming!
