And half of them come from Brazil. Even if they were legit, not PAL, and cheaper, they would still cost a fortune to import now

So looking likely it's the TIA

Anyone got a spare UMC6526N I could buy from them?
Or a junky 2600 for cheap?

How another round of stuff to work on, including this heavy sixer

I get video it but it's kind of scrambled. Haven't seen that before. Honestly never saw a "bad" 2600/VCS

Bad TIA, maybe?

Zoe @retrozo.bsky.social · 8h

Yeah I'm not going to lie, that likely works well in my favor

Zoe @retrozo.bsky.social · 8h

Seeming the most likely candidate

I'll see if I can try it with the one from mine tomorrow and then look up how much to track one down

It's worked for me several times. Including someone visiting from another country.

I am still working on my business, other than repairing stuff for other people

I picked up this Oster Stim-U-Lux 'Massage Instrument' today to resell

Original box and manuals, from about 1965

And yes, it works. Quite aggressively, might I say
