Game Console,

[guido]

Hello,
Just picked up this console Saturday for $35.
It is the new project. Hope to have it all finished for Christmas.
Now I need a computer to run the games, a monitor, track ball a few buttons, and other things.
Wish me luck!............Guido.

Hello fordman 6442,
You are a bit premature on thinking that the console can only be a trash can.
I could do that, but i don't need a trash can, and i like to make it into a game do hicky!
So...........I have a different idea then you. I have listed some of the components i am going to need. I will start hunting them down, as time permits. Have a good day............Guido.

Hello Whizkidyus,
The console is bare, and broken-up.
I could tell you where a live but then i would have to ill you! Just kidding.
I like to keep that out of the internet, i like my privacy. But i appreaciate the positive comments. I am posting another picture for you, so you can see a bit more of my place. I took it with the garage door open towards the street.
Have Good Day............Guido.

Couple/4 weeks back local electronics salvage had a couplr truckloads of such games/cabinets for recycling. Lotta widgets,doodads and thingamabobs therein fer recycling.Thought about getting a cabinet fer shop computer but too big for the available space

Hello lefty,
It is always the case. You need one and you pay for it.
Someone has fifty and can't get rid of them.
I had both my eyes open, i expexted to pay $50 for the cabinet. Its is a bit rough, so i got it for $35, and i got a marque for $5, I'm happy.

Hello ayrkidd,
The plan is to have it done for Christmas.
Parts will be the biggest drawback.
The computer will have an emulator program.
It will play all the old games, Atary for one.
Just got the track ball Monday.
Will post my progress.
Guido.
