well, he did sell several 1541's and C64's in lots - eventually. his pricing was so out of whack to begin with that nobody was bidding. his store is basically a huge flop though, it's fun to watch. he has no clue. he may have just flooded the market a bit too much on the Ultima stuff now as well. th...

that's what really made me say 'wtf?!', when i saw that he was buying up just anything and everything with no sense to it. even little things (two seperate low-dollar auctions for some loose music software disks for example), and after he said 'only mint/boxed stuff from now on'. :roll: even worse, ...

crazy how this all turned out. i think he's doomed. 'buying power' :D ha! unreal... now i like him even less. :) i'm amazed at how badly he spells in public, even on his websites and now his auctions. most of his stuff will never sell for what he paid if only because his auctions look nowhere near a...

what became of the three 'bad' ones?

i think that 42" Samsung is the same model my parents got a few months ago. i haven't spent too much time with it, but i can't believe how horrible the picture looks. not quite as bad as watching YouTube vids on my little PII/366mHz here, but still... and they say 'oh, isn't the picture great?!...

got 'em. the edge connectors are Texas Instruments', but have straight pins instead of the nice eyelets. all pins are intact, and there's a little 'key' divider so it's not plugged in wrong. the connector housing is pretty nice, but the din cable/connector is pretty low-qual. looks like they were as...

how about this?

red C64

he used 'Krylon Fusion', rubbing it down with paint thinner first. looks nice!

ahh, no problem, it's not in very good shape really.

if anyone needs the instructions, please let me know.

i was thinking more about this. wouldn't it be pretty unlikely to have only a few pins in the connector itself? have you seen them like this before? i would think that the pins are what makes the connection snug and that it'd be loose or uneven with just a few in there. i guess i'll find out soon en...

that's a thought... hadn't figured on that. we'll see...

you mean like there might only be three or five 'teeth' in the connector?

glued? :lol: :lol: maybe that's why your other one 'got really weird'? lofl... i'm thinking that the DigiKey and the other are the same connector (with the solder/wire eyelets) which would be soldered to either side of the board. i've seen the other pin style connectors as well, but i can't recall w...

hmm, i guess it'd help if you liked text adventures in the first place? :) i'll give them a shot though... here's a pic of everything, maybe if someone's got a few common game carts or something? not sure what else to do with them (and why does this 'kid' look like he's 40 years old?): http://photo....

1. http://www.allelectronics.com 2. search "CAT# cc-500" :shock: :shock: :shock: thank you!!! EDIT: just ordered a handful of them, i'll update when they arrive. probably should've inquired about what pins are connected internally, but i figured even the parts alone are worth more to me t...
