Atari 5200: Where Can I Find Replacement 5200 Controller Ports?

Thu, 09 Feb 2023 15:55:19 -0700

Good day, I've been working on repairing a lot of my consoles recently and noticed that the controller ports for my Atari 5200 for 1st and 2nd player are badly damaged, I was wondering if you knew of a place where I would be able to buy just the ports to be soldered on? Thank you for your time and have a great day.

Atari 5200: My 5200 has broken plastic on the front.

I bought a 5200 from a local guy for 10 bucks, but the front plastic has a large cracked piece and one side is missing entirely. From a cosmetic view it drives me up the wall. its also missing the giant door on the back, does anyone know how to repair the broken plastic and or buy replacement parts?

Atari 5200: Why aren't my Trak-balls working correctly?

I have two Atari 5200 Trak-balls, and they seem to produce lots of jitter, however, they do respond; So I assume I can clean or restore some part easily to fix this. I've tried to oil the bearing and used alcohol to clean the contact points but still no luck. What should I do next?
