Post pics of your Atari 2600. Games you like to play. Horrible games for it. TV's you use with yours. Basically anything Atari 2600.

WTF is happening?!

Got mine for a steal. Not many games though. Need to get a Harmony cartridge.

The RGB mod was easy.

Didn't even have to drill holes. The existing hole for the RF cable is now doing triple-duty of RGB cable+ +Audio cable+RF cable. RF still functions as usual.

Quality from the RGB is SO much better than RF! The difference is astounding! So clean, so sharp! Especially on a PVM-14M4. Really wish I had a 20L5 though. Those things are rarer than hen's teeth and priced like gold now!

Fixed up all four switches (Vader model)+DC-in port with new-old-stock from Best Electronics.

Refurbished the controllers with new stalks+rubbers and new PCBs also from Best Electronics.

After a clean, everything looks stock on the outside, but functions better than new on the inside.
