I posted a pic of my apf m1000 in this thread ... http://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,1418.0.html ... and it seems that a couple of people are interested in it so I decided to make a new thread about it. When I first got the console from my friend Vic I plugged it in to test and found that it booted up and read the carts but the controllers were unresponsive. I took the console apart and gave it a good cleaning and then tested it again, no change. There it sat until today. I decided that I would give it another try before I go taking it apart. I plug in the system, put in a cart and fire it up. I get a game selection screen (breakout clone with a few different game modes) so I move the joystick up down, nothing. I press the corresponding number button to the numbered selection .... game starts. I move the joystick and the onscreen "breakout paddle" moves .... :o Next I choose a 2 player mode and check the second player controller and it fires ...... but now the first player controller has no response. I reset the system and now there's no game selection screen, just starts up into one of the game modes and the first player joystick moves the onscreen paddle..... :-\ What I'm figuring is that one of the joysticks or both have a stuck button or two or three. I'll have to take those joysticks apart and see if a good cleaning will do the trick. I'll be taking some high res pics as requested and posting them here. Here's keeping my fingers crossed. |

you say it hell a mess how bad is vary dusty or was it like my odyssey 2 ware a spider made a nest it and died it it |

Dusty would be an understatement. Mainly it's the way the thing was put together. It seems more like a guy in his garage was making these things. I'll try to get some pics up later today. |

I'm in the middle of 2 different projects, getting our "game room" setup and I'm refurbishing and painting a nes system so this system is going to have to get in line. I just shot some pics of the innards for you guys ...... Notice the yellowed dried up tape holding the rf shielding together? I'll post up higher rez pics as I get into it in a few weeks. |
