Even an idiot can do some simple repairs on their Atari 2600 console!

Here's the guidebooklet that will help you!

Atari 2600, 2600 Jr. Fine Tuning, Upgrading, Trouble-Shooting, and Simple Repairs Advice and game instructions!

Learn how to fix and upgrade your Atari video game console, even if you're all thumbs!


Here's the new, improved Fourth Edition of the best-ever simplified guide to upgrading and trouble-shooting the Atari 2600. Do you want to get the most out of your Atari video game console? Interested in the best possible picture? Wondering how to clean and fine-tune your system? Interested in repairing some broken joysticks or jittery paddles? Going nuts looking for instructions? Everything you need is right here in this great upgrade guide booklet!

It's not intended for electronics experts. You don't need to know electronics, or even how to solder to do most of these fixes and upgrades. (However, scans of many Atari 2600, 7800, and 5200 and peripherals schematics are included if you have the knowledge and inclination to play around.)

Atari 2600, Atari 2600 Jr. Made Easy

Fresh from award-winning technology author and Atarimaniac David D. Busch is this expanded beginners' guidebook, full of tips and tricks! It's intended for those who don't want to fool around with a soldering iron, don't understand electronics, and who simply want to do the most simple upgrades and repairs with no fuss.

This 8.5 x 11-inch, 20-page illustrated booklet covers:

  • How to solve the most common problems you'll encounter in working with Atari game consoles, and techniques for fixing them.
  • Learn how to repair switches, replace cables, clean, and fine-tune consoles. These illustrated tips are intended for neophytes who know little or nothing about electronics. Most of the time, just knowing how and where to squirt a bit of tuner cleaner or cannibalizing a part or two from a totally dead unit can be enough to bring your console back to life!
  • What to do when the game port tabs break off.
  • Learn the best ways to de-jitterize paddles, and repair balky joysticks.
  • How to improve the picture you get by replacing your Atari's RF cable using a shielded cable upgrade.
  • Find out how to link your Atari console directly to a cable-TV connection.
  • How to tell which model is which. Do you have a Heavy Sixer, or just a plain old six-switch model? With original PHOTOS.
  • Fine-tune your Atari 2600's RF output, a perfect solution for those with finicky TV sets that lack manual fine tuning.
  • Learn to field-strip your Atari console, without breaking anything!
