Holy.... 45 at once, nice loot!
I ****LOVE**** my ColecoVision. It's a great system, but the controllers are difficult to use.
Very nice!
Heather
guy also 'threw in'
a partially working console (one of the controller ports doesn't work...i'll crack it open and see if i cant fix that at some point)
4 partially working controllers (see if i can make 2 fully working ones of of them....)
a working Atari 2600 expansion module (#1)
2 power supplies (one working and one apparently dead)
a stack of manuals for some of the games, other games which were not included, console manual, expansion module manuals + original posters which came with Squish Em Sam and one for Sewer Sam (always nice to get these)
a couple of controller overlays (mostly for the super action sports games)
the interesting thing i find about ColecoVision stuff, moreso than any other console it seems that they *rarely* come with their original boxes (well, Atari 2600 carts too, but A2600 carts in their boxes aren't hard to come by if you really look, there's just SO many A2600 carts floating around)
i bought 21 Intellivision games a couple of weeks back...every one in their box...most with manuals and overlays.
of the 3 early 'big' North American consoles (A2600, Intellivision and ColecoVision) the CV has the best Arcade conversions (until Atari put out the 5200, they were good too)
a cheap 1.2ghz 7 in tablet
then a free on misses contract a nexus 7 32gb
Got my a2000 a new(old) PSU fan....ah, sweet silence !
@SaviorX
Your broken controller port is most likely due to a fault chip. I had a problem with mine so I removed both controller chips then soldered in sockets. I bought a bunch of chips for spares as well.
Here's the chip you need:

Good luck!

thanks Heather...its a good bet it is the chip...i fired the console up and the problem appears to be the port is stuck going 'up' as if the controller was constantly pushed in the upward position....and barring every single controller being wonky :P usually that's a flaky controller chip.
other than that the console actually seems fine.
Definitely the chip. :) I had a heck of a time removing the old solder from the controller chips. Both of my Coleco's also had one pin bent on the bottom side of the board. I presume this was done to hold the chip in place before it was soldered.Quote:

Got another A1200 (has 8 in total now). This one was sold as not working, since the seller didn't have a power supply to test is with - so I got it REALLY cheap.
Well.... it works :-)
Fancy selling one to me then? I've only got 2x a500's and need a 1200 (stock is fine).Quote:
