Go to Radio Shack or any electronics store: I believe you are referring to 
the fact that your tv only has a screw-on co-axil cable connection???  I use 
a small black connector that has two screws for connecting a wire antenna on 
one end (the tv/console switch box) and the other end has a round co-axil 
type end that just slips over the screw-on cable terminal. Radio Shack 
carries them. Should not be more than $2.00 each...well, maybe $3.00 with 
prices
now a day, hehehhehe...

Hmmm. I count 6 games. Subtract one please unless you buy the "Wico" then 
'll
include the extra one. just tested: Krull, He-man, casino(boring), and 
Ladybug, all work good. Again, can't test the Colico's. sorry...

No idea sorry...
I have 4 of the standard Atari joysticks + 1 called a: PointMaster and 1 
called a: Archer (sounds more like a manufacturer's name):this one does not 
have the regular suchion feet, just 4 little rubber type pads...I'll let the 
standard ones go at $3.00 each (sent with the 5200) else $5.00 each to cover 
s/h...Same with the Archer one.  Gotta hang onto the Pointmaster else I'll
not be able to test the carts...
Actually, you'd get a better deal with the boxed Wico Command control arcade
joystick. :2 fire buttons, extra large arcade type bat handle, 2 position 
switch for 1 or 2 handed arcade feel and response etc.  Plus, it has been 
sed
a lot less and should be much more reliable than the older above listed ones.
Thats only $10.00 shipped with the 5200...
 > confirm this offer and ill send the check or money order....
it is Sunday, so can't check on that "regular post mail" thingie. Get back to 
me on the above stuff and I'll see about the "post" thing on Monday...
