I’ll probably start tagging my projects with hashtags cause even I can’t find where my threads end. This might be useful for a future endeavor as I figure out what to do with all this cheese.

But thanks to a dare from @d_j_fitzgerald the #FlashRack2 is going to be started, of putting a modded Atari Flashback2 with a cartridge slot into my AV rack with all my other modded consoles. It’ll probably be a half-width cause it does not need the entire 19” wide space, but that just means there’s half U of space for another console (or the rack controller).

Unit acquired from I can only assume a nice little old lady in NH. I now have more grocery store plastic bags from places I haven’t shopped sitting in a very used USPS box labeled “Pictures Glass!”, wrapped in paper grocery bags.

The ends are completely sheared off, it looks like the grandkid(s) sideswiped this thing out of the TV, both RCA center conductors are sheared off from a blow to the side. That’s fine cause those are going to be replaced entirely, but I jammed a ferrule on the end of the video one and plugged it into the CRT to see if it works, and it does!

The board inside looks to be a revision 2 and legitimate so it can be modded with the cartridge slot. So now I have to sit and ponder how to go about building this. #FlashRack2
