OK. It's officially a MEGA-FIND for me

I thought finding the X-10 controller was cool, but I didn't finish unboxing everything I got today. The person who owned this stuff before was certainly a hoarder of interesting Commodore items. This is the list of some of the more interesting stuff:

Sweet score. I love finding Commodore stuff. It's pretty far and few between but it seems when you come across one it us always a shit load of stuff. Shoot some photos of the haul :)

I'm still going through some of the more obscure stuff (plus my wife wants it OUT of the living room), so I'll be posting pics as I pull the stuff out again.

Here's everything I have for the Panasonic JR-200U:


Boxed system w/ foam inserts and connection cables
RGB video cable
Centronics printer cable
Demo cassette
Dumbo Flies Home game (sealed)
Crazy Mazey game (sealed)
Thief game (sealed)
Science Skills software (sealed)
Galactic Chase game (x2, not sealed)
Wordwatch app (sealed)
Geographic Explorer (sealed)
Typing Teacher (sealed)
Kids & the Panasonic JR-200U user's guide (3rd party book)
Official Panasonic JR-200U Service Manual (complete with schematics, board diagrams, memory map, and timing charts)


I'm on the fence about opening any of the sealed games. It would be nice to try them out, but I think I probably wouldn't be playing with this system too much. It's a nice "conversation piece" amongst collectors, but it was hardly a powerful nor revolutionary system.

I will hook it up someday in the near future to make sure it works.

Tried to upload a pic, but I get Error #2038 when uploading an 84K jpg image through the attachment manager
