In this video, I restore and mod an Atari 2600
1970's Gaming Console Restoration Atari 2600
Atari 2600 is a very old and antique gaming console from the '70s. It was introduced by Atari, Inc. I bought this console from eBay and trying to restore it.
The Atari 2600, branded as the Atari Video Computer System (Atari VCS) until November 1982, is a home video game console developed and produced by Atari, Inc. Released in September 1977, it popularized microprocessor-based hardware and games stored on swappable ROM cartridges, a format first used with the Fairchild Channel F in 1976. The VCS was bundled with two joystick controllers, a conjoined pair of paddle controllers, and a game cartridge-initially Combat and later Pac-Man.
This video is a start to finish walkthrough of doing an AV mod on an Atari 2600 JR.
Lots of tips, tricks, and info on how to add composite and stereo to the JR.
The AV board is capable of s-video
The ATARI 2600 comes with an ugly old-school RF type connector, the ones you used to have to tune and fine-tune until you get something acceptable… The cable comes out of the unit without a chance to unplug it, so the unit is far from transportable. The other problem is that this kind of connection is obsolete, and many modern TVs or Flat screens don´t even allow it anymore, so hooking the device might be not even possible in the first place for many people.
For a long time, I wanted to try and change the Video Output and use a Composite Video instead. There are numerous Kits available online ranging from super simple to more complex ones, that even add Super Video connections.
There are many tutorials depending on what exact version you have, NTSC, PAL, 4 Switch, 6 Sitch
The 2600 uses a 7805 voltage regulator and needs at least 7 volts DC (technically up to 30 volts) and 500 mA or higher current capability.
The 7805 is a fixed voltage linear regulator that outputs 5V at up to 1A current with an input voltage range of 7 - 35V.
There is an input to one of the chips which controls the color output, derived in part from the unregulated power input, so you might notice a slight color change if you use a different input voltage from the original adapter, but this is nothing to worry about.
Thank you for watching my video!

Says someone replied but I can’t see it
Thanks I really appreciate you! 🙏
pfft ROTFLMFAO 😂😂😂
me too❤️
Still got mine in its original box back in 82. fired it up a month ago in the first time in over 20yrs still works a dream love it
thanks for watching❤️
Yeah they where a simple pice of kit not a lot to go wrong in any of the 2600s
You made me cry with this one. This is a complete blast to my past. Thank you for restoring this old machine and bringing it back to life.
I seriously love that you aren't adding any music to your videos, instead allowing us to only hear the sounds produced as you disassemble. That's the secret sauce right there.
You forgot the most important ingredient ! Mud, mud everywhere !
nope, this generation is easily distracted
Wow that brings back memories. That was the first ever console my parents bought me when it was late 80's and i was about 7 years old and it was awesome. I used to play for hours on it and it is still with me today and works and Safe in a box in my cupboard.
Great restoration job EG. Brought back some great childhood memories seeing and Atari brought back to life.
Esse atari eu tive, vinha com varios jogos na memoria em preto em branco, ótimo trabalho de restauração
Marvelous work in restoring a later version of the Atari 2600 game console. 👍🏻
I’m not sure why but this video really improved my mood, I’ve been having a weird morning until he started to disassemble this Atari😂💕
Thanks, I really appreciate you! 🙏❤️
Great restoration but i do wonder why you replaced the front case with a new one??
Also i wish you kept or replaced the sticker on the bothem with a new one.

I thought the black case looks better than the original. thanks for watching❤️
@@resEG do you still have that old atari 2600 jr shell with that metal plat on it???
Because i searching for it online all around but i can’t find one,
I hope you have it still there for spare parts or to be able to sell it because i really do need it,thx alot.
I love this channel for the technical and ASMR aspects. My first gaming console/computer was the Texas Instrument TI-99/4A Gaming Computer. Next console was the Atari 2600. I spent sooooo much time playing Missile Command, Stampede, Centipede, and Megamania. Such good memories. Thank you so much for doing what you do and sharing it with all of us.
I really agree with you
Thanks a lot for the comment and kind words! 🙏
This was very satisfying to watch thank you for sharing!
ua-cam.com/video/vxT4piygz54/v-deo.html👈
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for saving that time piece. Awesome.
I love watching your videos, your work is magnificent, congratulations!
Love my Atari since the 70 good memories to say the least
That was a Nice memory with this console I got mine in 1995!.
Great machine of its time. The best joystick too, that I even used the joystick with the Amiga 500 I bought in 1992.
Very cool! Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Great repair😊
Ahh just looking at this is giving me flashbacks of my parents saying “we aren’t buying you a Nintendo just play on your brother’s Atari“
those are some cruel parents!
Nice Job aa Always great to see the old Atari 2600 again Take care mate Simon from the UK 👍
This is a console classic

Very good work, I also really liked the AV mod.
Thank you very much!
nice job! i recently bought my first 2600 on ebay. coming with two joysticks and pole position game. have not tested it so far 🙂
Very cool! Glad you enjoyed it!
I might have a 2600 in the Attic. I have star wars, pac man and pong if I remember correctly.
@@resEG how can I get tool box 🧰
Great video, thank you. anyone out there that enjoys retro gaming, what you need to look into (if you are not aware) is getting a psvita. It can be modified and then install retroarch (thanks to great vita homebrew community). retroarch has emulators for all the old consoles. snes, nes, gba, gba andvanced, sega, atari, and many many more. Then you get adrenaline for ps1, and psp games. can also order sd2vita allowing for you to use sd card instead of propriotory memory card. oh one more thing you can also play the vita with a ps4 controller if you get a little stand for it.
Thanks for this great information, I will think of buying a PS Vita. thanks again.
Although I prefer the original models, specifically the Heavy Sixer, nice restoration.
Atari 2600 was an extremely old, but fun, great times for video games.
Awesome job
I had one of these as a child and centipede game, I loved it 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!
Incrível acompanho sempre seus vídeos aqui do Brasil parabéns
Isso é uma honra para mim, obrigado pelo comentário gentil
Great job.
They just don't feel right to me unless they have the brown faux wood stripe on them though and the 6 switches. Yep, I'm even a stickler for the number of switches. That being the system I remember fondly as a kid growing up. Playing space invaders until I roll the score 3 or 4 times and then getting mad that my sister can do the same on Pac Man but I couldn't.

thanks for watching❤️
That was the 2600. This is the Jr.
@@swisskristin12 actually That was the VCS
@@swisskristin12 The Jr is the 2600. It's a cost reduced version
There's some ghosting of the image.
Usually that's an indication of a grounding issue.
Most likely it has to do with where you grounded the a/v out mod or a ground loop was created when you had it connected to your TV and whatever was used to record the audio.
Could also have been a design flaw in the console that was not noticeable when the RF out was used.
Fantastic and beatifull, restauration OK 💯💢💯™️👍
Amazing,good job💪😀
Restauracion completa buen trabajo
quem faz esse tipo de restauração manja muito .trouxe o atari de volta a vida .parabéns pelo trabalho

Greatest restoration ✨✨✨

Thank you very much!
Nicely done. Get yourself a pair of needle nose pliers for those tabs though. You might damage the tabs using that diagonal cutter.
Thanks for the tip! will do 🙏❤️
@@resEG 👍
only if you dont know what the hell you're doing
@@SupremeNerd The right tool for the right job is knowing what your doing.
I remember that version of the 2600. They were selling in the mid-1980s for around $50US. It even has that mid 80s design.
فيديو يستحق الاعجاب

Obrigado eu realmente aprecio você! 🙏
Pretty cool! I wonder why you painted the RF shield though?
I wanted to keep the original (factory) condition even if the RF shield will not used. thanks for watching❤️
i went back to my childhood :(
Me too! Me too! Sometimes, all I wish is to go back to the past to experience life as a child again. Quite often I find myself lost in the past traveling through the times when I just rejoiced every single moment without thinking of what lies ahead. I just wish I had some superpower to do the time travel.
I think I like the way that completely black shell looks, better than the original. very good video.
I really agree with you, thanks for watching❤️
عودة إلى الحنين الى الماضي كنت طفل عند صدور هذا الجهاز
شكرا للمشاهدة ❤️
Very nice 👍🙂 video 📸📸
sure enjoyed this video. thank you for sharing it. Where can I purchase parts for my 2600?
que buen trabajo mi papa me compro una atari para navidad la 2600 jr, ahora 2022 tengo una pc gamer pero me comprare esa consola de nuevo por nostalgia
¡Muchas gracias por el comentario y las amables palabras!
Great jop you the best
L'ho avuto a fine anni '80 ❤️
Good video!
I've subbed
Top d+!!!!!
The worth restoration ever made
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
Don't forget to jam in a TRS-1 2450. You can also replace the 4 old film caps with smaller modern box TDK film caps. .22uF, 100V. Also don't forget to put Ferrite chokes on the adapter end of the power supply to filter picture interference from house wiring.
good video ♥️
We had a 2600 when I was little that my brothers and I got a lot of use out of. This one looks different though. Ours had the wood paneling and silver/metal vertical toggle switches. This must’ve been a later model. Man, I really wish I knew where it ended up.
The Junior also known as the Rainbow, was the last release of the 2600. It was released after the 7800 released.
From the Wiki Page:
Atari 2600 Jr.
The 1986 model has a smaller, cost-reduced form factor with an Atari 7800-like appearance. It was advertised as a budget gaming system (under $49.99) with the ability to run a large collection of games.[79] Released after the video game crash of 1983, and after the North American launch of the Nintendo Entertainment System, the 2600 was supported with new games and television commercials promoting "The fun is back!". Atari released several minor stylistic variations: the "large rainbow" (shown), "short rainbow", and an all-black version sold only in Ireland.[80] Later European versions include a joypad.
*Congratulation 😎👍.*
que guapa ha quedado espectacular
¡Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado! ❤️
@@resEG jopetas q tiempos de consola la tengo enmarcada en mi despacho sin coñas 🤣 tendria 4 años cuando me la regalaron
Disculpa si te puedo sugerir algo aunque eres el puto amo q john wayne se cagaria viendo tus videos, pero tal vez algo de pcs retro? Me fliparia
increible amigo, como se llama tu kit de herramientas me gusto mucho es muy completo me gustaria comprar uno similar saludos
I'm sorry if you mentioned it and I missed the answer, but what did you spray on the metal plating? It's a rust protection kind of thing? Would love if you showed the materials and tools you used a little more. Did you give that MOBO an IPA bath? I assumed.
Hi. What is the spray paint that you use for the metallic parts (dissipators?). It is paint or a different thing?
Did you painted the rusted heat shield with chrome paint or some antirust paint?
it is an RF shield, RF Shield is metal devices that are designed to block or reduce electromagnetic interference to provide protection for components.
thanks for watching❤️
I liked a lot this video :3

Great video,what chemicals was was in the water you put the board into ,cheers
Love the videos! Just missing the text of your thoughts and what you're doing/using so I can follow along.
thanks for watching❤️, please enable the video subtitles.
@Restoration EG I tried enabling the CC, but it says that it's unavailable and there wasn't any voice in the audio. Am I missing something?
You made me watch all of this only to see you use hot glue? Egads!
hola puedes hacer una restauracion del primer control para la xbox clasica el control duke pd buen video amo la atari
Bacano pa que 👏🏼
gracias por mirar❤️
Man, the restorations you do fascinate me, but I would love for you to do it with older consoles that are not very well known at this time, for example, Coleco Vision/Intelligames, etc., retro consoles.
