Picked this up today at my local Salvation Army for 15bucks, pretty good deal if ya ask me . But i cant figure out what these are. Two flight stick style joysticks with white boots. Anyone know? Are they valuable at all? Only reference i see online is this http://atariace.com/...icks.php/item/9


(oh and for 15bucks i got: 2 of the Atari "black" joysticks, the Atari 2600 "vader" 2600A system, the Atari power plug, those 2 flightstick style joysticks, and a random RF Modulator O.o *my tv has coaxial* )

Saw one of those on atari2600.com before:

Kinda curious- does the bottom have a suction cup base or is it just flat?

[munchlaxx]

Flat, 3 small round rubber pads and 4 screws. Video controller hmmm, just a standard joystick or somethin else?

Yeah, from the looks of it, it's a plain ol' third-party joystick.

I bought some at the local Value Village. Not that good because the base is too small to hold properly.

[munchlaxx]

yea theyre a lil different to hold, but heh 15 bucks for it all im happy, they had everything priced separately at 5 bucks each (even the power cord) and 10 for the system, hagglin' skillz ftw ;D.

Well thanks for the info everyone, just took it apart, about to clean the top cover, await my first game to arrive from eBay (should be here by tuesday), test, then probably off to Craigslist, ill make sure to carry money when i go treasure hunting in my neighborhood. I'm still kicking myself for not having the lousy 5 dollars on me to get Secret of Mana on snes still sealed in plastic in the box at this mom and pop pawn shop i stopped at, was gone when i came back the next weekend -.- .

Happy Gaming, and glad to find this place btw, now i have a reference point when i find hidden gems in dusty old boxes.
