A new take on the atari tube APC design. I'd have posted a video of the synced LEDs but it seems I fried one during installation :/

So I got this Atari 2600 clone, it's builted in a Famicom shell. At first glance you could get confused but once you see the size of the cart slot you realize that in fact is an atari 2600.
Una de mis maquinas favoritas. La que inicio y destruyo lo que conocemos hoy como "videojuegos".
Grande 2600..
Nate and I both built these as an early electronics project. Here he is playing his for the first time. (After we found that sneaky ground wire we'd forgotten to install!)
We used this schematic: www.marmelos.com/atari_punk_console/atari_punk_console_ci...
Next is getting it from the breadboard to the project box!
One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
The Atari TT was Atari's flagship computer, boasting with a 32MHz 68030 CPU. When I learned about it I always dreamt of owning one, but back then there was just no way I could afford one.
But despite moving on to PC the dream was always there to one day own an Atari TT. And in the beginning of 2012, I was finally able to lay my hands on one on Ebay from Germany. When checking it more carefully it turns out it was sold on Ebay from Austria a couple of months earlier. It was then equipped with an extra graphics card and that owner had moved the two extra serial ports to the case, that's how I recognised it.
To my absolute horror it developed some bad hardware errors after a week, crashing all the time and refusing to boot, but luckily it turns out that since this is a relatively early model, most chips are in sockets, so all I needed to do was to push down on some chips to make it work again. But since then I'm really careful about not moving it about too much.
I've got 16MB of TT-RAm for it now, replaced the cooling fan and the clock battery. One of these days I plan to retro-bright the case as well.
