Since I use my 2600 in the studio so much I decided to bring it up to speed with the rest of my studio gear. I was tired of another desktop box and I have plenty of rack space. So why not rack mount the ATARI 2600?

What started as a drawing on a piece of paper quickly became the noizSPIKE-2600/R.

The following pics are what I did to make the noizSPIKE-2600/R......

 

First was all the soldering........

(The ATARIAGE and VCSp site was a mega help!! THANKS!!)

 

Found a blank 19" rack enclosure at an electronics outlet store.

(Thank you to TAURIAN PIERCING & METALS for cutting the holes)

 

The guts........

In the back from left to right: RCA-vid out, 1/4"-mono out, Stereo outs: 1/4"-right, 1/4"-left,

and way over on the right is the power input

Front switch layout from left to right:

power, tv type, difficulty left, difficulty right, game select, game reset, left controller, right controller

 

At home with the rest of the noiz toys.............

To hear the noizSPIKE-2600/R in action go to the ASTROGENIC HALLUCINAUTING page.

 

The tracks "so-flow" features the noizSPIKE-2600/R and many other video game machines.

The track "AudC" is made entirely with the noizSPIKE-2600/R.

 

To purchase the new recording that features the noizSPIKE-2600/R go HERE.

And if you are wondering....Why flourescent GREEN??!!

why not?

I don't have another piece of gear that's that color and it REALLY stands out in the studio.........

(I might repaint it purple though...or better yet....phosphorous?)

 

Feel free to zap me any questions or comments.........

And don't forget to sign the guest book!!!!!!
