From the fleemarket Sunday of the first week in July.


RCA Selectavsion player (unknown make): $5 + the effort it took to get the gaul-blasted thing to the car, it ways more than most of my PC's!

N64, AV hook-ups, two controllers, mem card, rumble pack, ram expander, ram jumper, and wave racer cart boxed with manual (some quirks, cart slot seems dirty so you have to apply pressure to the cart during boot otherwise it won't load): $30

Sony Video Editing Pad (Put composite video source in one end, and attach the other to a VCR and add doodles, credits and other fun stuff with a pressure sensitive pad, still don't know how to work it partially because I don't have any RCA cables long enough to reach to where I sit :P ): $5

Radioshack 2.4Ghz Wireless A/V sender, never used, boxed: $5

Assorted Commodore and IBM 5.25" floppy's. Some two dozen or so. Haven't inventoried them all, some are unmarked blanks some are originally blank but marked with contents, and some are commercial. Included was a boxed copy of Disney's Arachnophobia for the C64 or C128 complete with both disks manuals and flyer. No way to test the working condition of any disks since I don't have the computers the go with let alone the drives.: 100% Free! The guy who I bought the Selectavision was apparently so grateful that I took it off his hands he let me take them away! :)

Yorx 5" B&W TV. Guy who sold it to me was using the wrong power supply with it, it needs 13.5V @ 1000Ma but he was using an AT&T 13V @ 700 Ma supply. It has a weird distortion in the picture, I think it might be a product of the improper power supply.: $5

Star Wars Episode One/Pepsi Promo hat: $1


That's it. There were some Genny's but I was already having logistics issues between the car and my bags. There was also a Colecovision with the VCS module damaged RF switch and one controller, power supply and some games but it was rather dirty and rusted in places and was really quite large, and with no price, just not what I was looking for that day. Oh and a PS2 for $70 but I don't need another doorstop now do I :wink: (especially with my new selectavision/nuclear bunker combo).


EDIT: There was a Arachnoid 2 Romstar Arcade cabinet for $185, which I would have bought right then and there but I had no means of getting it home and home was a long hoof away, I am still grieving :cry:

EDIT No. 2: Whe I say selectavision I mean the CED type of course just to clear that up since I think RCA used the same name for some of their VCR's


PS this stuff is not currently for sale, the disks and selectavision may be in the future but only after I get a chance to test them.




EOM.
