Kevin S. of CA Kevin had a couple of old Atari CX40 Joysticks that were not working correctly. He ordered 2 of Bests New CX40 Gold rebuild kits with Best's CX40 Gold Lifetime PCB board and after 30 months work Bests New Upgraded / Enhanced CX40 Super handle. "These controllers are amazing with the new parts."
Kyle D. of IL Kyle contacted Best because he was having problems with an Atari 2600 console he just picked up. Best give him some Atari 2600 trouble shooting tips. 4 to 5 E-Mails back and forth, it looked like his 2600 console had a bad chip set. So Kyle ordered a 2600 replacement 3 chip set from Best. Kyle installed the Best 2600 chip set. It cured the original 2600 problem and the 2600 worked fine. But a new 2600 problem showed up. Kyle's 2600 had a very good display with good sound, but when the 2600 console was turned off and on again a new video problem appeared. We asked Kyle to do a new channel scan on his flat panel TV with the 2600 running a game. "Scanning after changing to the new chips picked up Channel 2, and it runs beautifully on it! Even got full audio! All problems solved!! Thank you so incredibly much for the hugely substantial amount of assistance and components!!"
Mark H of DE. Mark just ordered one of Best's 7800 CX24 Reconditioned / Upgraded with Best's new CX24 Gold Lifetime internal board set, to replace a stock always going bad Atari CX24 Joystick. In 2016 Mark ordered one of Best Reconditioned / Upgraded Gold Lifetime CX52 5200 Joysticks. "Best Electronics does it again! I received my CX-24 controller today and I have to confess I never liked playing my 7800 because the controllers I had were so bad. (I never knew any better) Today I found out how good it should be, this controller is amazing. Can not say enough positive things about Best products and service. My 5200 Best controller still rocks having had it since 03/2016."
Colton M. of Canada Colton contacted Best looking for a pair of Atari CX30 Paddles. We told Colton we had Atari CX30 Paddles upgraded with Bests New 2nd Generation (five lifetimes worth of normal use) S-5 Atari Paddle Super Pots. "I have now received the order, and I must say I am very impressed. The paddles are of a ridiculously high quality - it has been a real pain for me to find decently reliable paddles lately, and now I think my search is over! Keep up the good work, if any of my buddies are looking to get into the retro-gaming scene, I know where to send them! Thanks again!"
Paul T. of Australia Paul contacted Best looking for some new replacement parts for an Atari 2600 he was rebuilding. He ordered 4 new Atari 2600 slide switches, a 2600 R/A Power jack and 2600 7805 voltage regulator. "You are a legend. I got the parts this afternoon, couldn’t be happier. Beautifully packed to boot. I’ll have to scour markets for more busted 2600s!!!"
Andrew M. of IL Andrew placed his very 1st Atari order with Best. He ordered a new in box Atari XC12 Program recorder (the very last new Atari 8 bit Cassette drives made) A few XL and 800 replacement Key caps to replace some missing old Atari keyboard key cap locations and the Best made exclusive upgraded 1200XL Keyboard internal replacement Mylar.

Mike M. of NC Mike's 1st contact (via E-Mail) with Best, he said he had just picked an Atari 5200 console and of course it had two bad carbon dot CX52 Joysticks. He asked Bests advice on the new CX52 Joystick parts he should get. Mike was considering mixing some working to a degree old Carbon dot parts with Best's CX52 Gold Lifetime Joystick parts. Best told Mike if he was on a budget, go with a full set of new Atari Carbon dot CX52 Joystick parts (good for about 3 to 4 years of normal use, before they will have to be rebuilt again). If he wanted to end up with Lifetime CX52 Joysticks, go with all Gold CX52 parts. Upon placing a second Atari order in a row with Best, Mike said: "Hi, picked up a 7800 this week. Also wanted to say how awesome the gold parts were to fix those old joysticks on the 5200. Night and day and worth the extra cash. Nice to know that they won’t fail.
Louis M. of CA Louis has been a Best Atari customer since 2013. So far this year he as placed 6 Atari orders with Best in 2018. Before he placed his latest Atari order with Best he said... "As always, many thanks for your help, great service and support of the global Atari community."

It took less than 5 days for it to arrive in France. This is lightning fast :) And It took me only 10 minutes to replace the old PCB with the new 3rd Gen Gold PCB inside my CX40 Joystick. The wiring color labels made the upgrade very easy. The result is beyond what I expected. My CX40 joystick is better than new and very precise. The tactical feedback is great and the click sound so pleasing ! Thanks !"
Boris K. of Germany. Boris read the different Atari reviews on Best's XEGS keyboard upgrade called "XE Touch".

Danke! Best regards from Germany"

This time Aaron wanted take advantage of Best's CX52 Exchange Joystick program (the most cost effective method) and sent in two CX52 Joystick cores for exchange for some of Bests Reconditioned / Upgraded CX52 Gold dot Lifetime Joysticks. "Wow! These CX52 Gold Joysticks have completely exceeded my (high) expectations! They are a pleasure to use and make the 5200 as it should always have been. Thanks for your continued efforts on this front! Realsports Baseball is so much fun to play with these joysticks!!" Aaron did notice a minor problem on his 5200 console, where the game cursor on some 5200 games would not go to the far right. He read the Best CX52 Joystick trouble shooting sheet that we include with each Best CX52 Gold Joystick. One E-Mail back and forth to Aaron, Best concluded that his 35+ year Atari 5200 console had drifted off the Atari Factory 5200 port settings very very slightly. So Aaron arranged to Call Best Electronics with his 5200 console near the phone and Best talked him thru the very very minor port adjustment Aaron had to do on his old 5200 motherboard. A total time on the phone of less that 5 minutes and Aaron's 35+ year old Atari 5200 console was again back to the Atari 5200 Factory port settings. All of Aarons 5200 game cursor problems of not going the far right went away.
James R. of CA James placed his very 1st Atari order with Best in early May. It was for a New in the box Atari 65XE Computer and the Best Rev. 10 all Atari catalog.

Bill L. of NJ. Bill had two 8 bit computer products that either one would end the Atari SIO daisy chain. He wanted to run both products at the same time on his 8 bit Atari computer. So he ordered the assembled version of the ApeLink 13 Pin SIO splitter / breakout product "Thank you once again for the quick delivery of the APE-LINK device. It works perfectly! I can now hook up my Alien Group Voice Box I as well as my SIO2PC cable, both of which terminate SIO.

We told Rick to try some Best Atari 2600 trouble shooting tips before he placed an Atari order with us. "In the future I wouldn’t be afraid to order parts from you ... I did as you suggested ... I took the consul apart and found the 3 soldered joints ...They looked fine ... But I moved the jack and noticed a bit of movement in the 3 prongs ... So I did a nice job re soldering them ... Reattached the system to the TV ... Put in a cartridge and turned it on ... And guess what ??? Looks like the system was made yesterday ... YAHOO...My 11 year old grandson is very happy ... He says he would some day like to pass it on to his children ... Imagine an 11 year old today wanting to even bother with that old system ... Hope you have a great day ... You sure made mine ... Rick"
Joey S. of Canada Joey sent in two old Atari CX52 non working Joysticks for exchange, for some of Bests Reconditioned / Upgraded all Gold lifetime CX52 Joysticks. "Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that I received the controllers and had a chance to give one of the sticks a play. Holy cow! These are top notch! I was enjoying my 5200 before by using a 2600 stick and a redemption box but I couldn't enjoy the analog control games. The analog sticks are wonderful... sure there are games like PAC man that benefit from a digital stick by the 5200 sticks are awesome for Star Wars arcade and others! Overall, I am a satisfied customer and Would recommend these refurbished sticks to anyone with a 5200!"

"Just wanted to let you know that the package arrived safely, and quickly, too. I'm seriously impressed with the quality of the packaging itself, and the products as well! Everything looks like it was taken straight off a store shelf in '89, brand-spankin' new, and all set to dial up and relive a bit of history. I'll be honest in saying that I wasn't expecting all that much at first (I'm always one to err on the side of caution when ordering from someplace new), but now I'll definitely be coming back to order again from you soon. Thanks a ton."
James S. of Japan James purchased a Best Reconditioned Atari Lynx I, some Lynx games and Lynx accessories. "My order arrived this afternoon. Thank you for shipping it so quickly.

Wade contacted Best about 1/2 month ago, looking for a Reconditioned Atari 1040STE computer that he wanted to be upgraded to 4 Meg of memory (Atari's official name / model for that Atari 1040STE computer upgraded to 4 Meg of memory is 4160STE) At that time we told Wade there was a couple weeks delay / wait on getting an Atari 4160STE Computer for him. Wade put in an order for one. "Thanks for the timely delivery of my new 4160STE. The unit looks simply amazing and works flawlessly - both are attributes I’ve come to expect from Best over the years!

Jon B. of the UK. Jon contacted Best with a two to three page large Atari order. We told Jon because of the very high cost of International shipping to the UK, it would not be cost effective for him. Jon located a Freight forwarding company in the US that would take his many many Atari shipments (Best had to break up his very very large Atari order into 4 to 6 smaller Atari orders) consolidate them and send them to him in the UK at a good cost saving on International shipping costs. "Just to let you know that I have received all of the items now in the UK, I have repaired my Atari 800 and I am really pleased. Thanks so much for supplying the items, my six year old daughter really loves playing Galaxians! I will be in touch later on in the year to buy some more bits from you. Thanks again."
Sam C. of TX By Sam's very very low Best Customer number, we can tell he has been a Best Atari Customer for over 20 to 25+ years now!

I inquired about an item on Wed, got your quote and then paid on Thurs. and, BOOM, got my purchase on Sat. Magnificent! Many, many thanks of appreciation."

Luis B. of Canada Luis ordered some of Best's 3rd Generation CX40 Joystick Gold Lifetime PCBs for his bad Atari CX40 Joysticks. Right after he received his Best order, he ordered two more of the CX40 Gold Lifetime PCBs. "I received my CX40 gold PCBs and these are extremely good. I feel like I don’t have to treat the joystick with overly great care, especially playing games like Decathlon and Track&Field.

Once that part was put in, everything was as it was 14 years ago. I did, however, replace the remainder, just to be on the safe side (as well as new voltage regulator and capacitors). This machine should run strong another 20 years. A large thank you to everyone at Best for their part in assisting me with this repair."

"Success!, I couldn't have done it without your support! You were correct: I "jumped the 7800 cut trace and moved the OS chip shorting jumper back to the original place" and was still experiencing no functionality." We advised Aaron to put his 7800 back to a stock 7800 OS set up again. "You were also correct: I had, cracked a trace under (solder side) or on the top side of the 7800 OS chip location. I removed the IC socket (for the third time!) and finally discovered which top side motherboard trace I had damaged in the initial removal of the original OS chip. One short jumper wire is all that was needed to correct the problem. I did thoroughly read your excellent instructions which warned me about this, but in my limited experience I didn't take your warning seriously enough! I now own the best Atari 7800 that I've ever owned!!
Marius D. of the Netherlands Marius purchased one of the rare Atari Factory 400 48K Ram upgrade kits. "This was FAST! Today received the package, and installed in my 400. Everything works PERFECT! Great deal, and thanks for your perfect handling! My 400 is very cool now. Thanks again!"
Johnny K. of CA "Absolutely the BEST place to find your ATARI items! Shipping is extremely quick and customer service is excellent. The gentleman on the phone even persuaded me NOT to purchase an item which I really thought would help my problem. That is a sign to me about how special they are. A business run in this unique way with strange hours and way of operating doesn’t last unless it’s unique and special. Be sure to purchase the catalog, I bet you’ll find something there which you didn’t even know existed or could really use for your system or computer. Fun stuff! You are looking for the BEST place to find items for your ATARI, which you have now found."
James A. of CO "Thanks for your fast response the other week regarding my question on the ATARI 400 interlock switch. Your dedication to customer service and willingness to answer any ATARI question is fantastic. BEST ELECTRONICS has always treated me well, and I appreciate it!"
Justin G. of MS "Well Best Electronics strikes again! I ordered "Pitfall and Wolfenstein 3D" for the Atari Jaguar Console and 3 days later they were at my door. Securely packaged and factory sealed in **MINT** condition!!! Included were the inserts, manuals and overlay. I highly recommend Best Electronics for any Atari collector!!!!! Thx Best"
Benjamin H. of TX "As always, everything arrived very quickly, professionally packaged, and in perfect condition, just as described on the website. The Epyx 500XJ joystick is the absolute BEST joystick for playing any version of Pac-Man on an Atari! It offers a nice 'clicky' tactile feel that can't be matched on any other joystick, believe me, I've tried nearly every other one and nothing comes close to the Epyx 500XJ! Worth every penny!" Benjamin got one of Best Atari new Jaguar Power pad and adapter cable to other Atari systems Combo special. "The BEST Custom made Jaguar Pad Adapter: For anybody who prefers a joypad style controller for playing Atari, it really doesn't get any better than the slick and ergonomic Atari Jaguar controller pad from the 1990's. I haven't played a Jaguar since 1998, so I had completely forgot how comfortable the Atari Jaguar pad feels in adult hands. The pad moves extremely smoothly and the buttons offer a nice solid feel. I was able to achieve much higher scores on Pitfall II and Keystone Kapers using the Jag pad, and it feels as solid and as comfortable as it always did back in the 90's. Awesome build quality on the adapter cable as well, so glad to be able to use a great joypad-style controller for when a particular Atari game calls for it! All of the Atari 2600 games I ordered arrived in mint condition and still sealed in their factory laminate, which is quite amazing when you remember how old many of these games are. There's nothing quite like opening a brand new Atari game for the first time and experiencing the excitement of putting a brand new game into your Atari console. I get all kinds of flashbacks from the 80's whenever this happens and it's always such a thrill to receive brand new games from such a great source! Keep up the great work and thanks for being such a solid and reliable source for all my Atari needs!"
This is Benjamin's third feed back comment to Best. See his other feed back comments below.
Paul W. of OR Paul ordered one of Bests Reconditioned Jaguar CD Players. "The CD player works flawlessly, and as always, was packaged to perfection." Each New and Reconditioned Jaguar CD Player Bests sells, comes with Bests Atari Tech Tips information sheet to extend the useful life of any Atari Jaguar CD player. This Tech tip sheet is based on the Atari Jaguar CD Players sent into Best for repair, that could of been prevented by these Best Tech tips. "The included tips tell me how most of them were broken ..lack of common sense and basic mistreatment. Most happy with my purchase!"
Benjamin H. of TX "Just wanted to say thanks! Got the board today" Ben was trying to do a board level of an old Atari 2600A motherboard. The more 2600 components he unsoldered and replaced on the old Atari 2600A motherboard, the problems seemed to get worse. So Ben found Best Electronics and ordered one of Bests New drop in replacement 2600A Motherboards. "I am a very happy camper! Will probably order some joystick rebuild parts in the coming weeks. Thanks for your prompt service!"
Benjamin H. of TX "I also wanted to say that it's been a pleasure buying from you. The stuff from my last order arrived quickly, and it's nice to be able to buy from people outside of eBay. I had no idea that you had so much Atari inventory on hand, and reading about your business in the print ad you sent was really interesting. Looking forward to doing more business with you very soon."
Keith C. of TX "Hello Best Electronics, I am sending this message to say how unbelievably happy I am with my purchase from you. The 5200 controller is simply amazing!!!" Bests Reconditioned / Upgraded Gold Dot CX52 Joystick with the New 2nd Gen. Tactical Fire buttons. "It is immaculate and plays flawlessly! The 7800 controller is awesome!" Atari CX78 Joypad "No more arthritis pain from the dreaded ProLine(PainLine) controllers.)" CX24 Atari Joystick "Had a lot of fun with Mario Bros. Thank You Best Electronics! You made my day with these controllers and a happy gamer! You got yourselves a future customer! BTW you told me I would get my order by this Friday. And I got it today on Monday!?!?!? Lightning fast!! Thanks for everything!!! You guys are simply THE BEST!!! I will recommend all my retro gaming friends to you! THANKS A MILLION GUYS!!! A+++++++++++++++:-)"
Justin G. of MS "I got my refurbished Jaguar CD console yesterday and once again Best Electronics stands TRUE. You guys are a force to be reckoned with. Keep up the good work! Absolutely no complaints here!!!!!!!" Justin's second feed back comment to Best Electronics. See his 1st feed back comment on the link below.
Beniot R. of France "Just received my Lynx (So fast !!). It's in perfect condition and work flawlessly. Thank you very much!" When Beniot 1st contacted Best we told him that with the high cost of International shipping to France and incoming French Custom charges a Best Reconditioned Lynx I console might not be cost effective for him. Beniot answered back "but with the euro/dollar conversion, $70 is still a good bargain for a working Lynx in France!"
Justin G. of MS Justin purchased an 'as is' Jaguar console off E-Bay. We gave Justin some Atari Tech tips on the Jaguar Motherboards but it ended up as another piece of E-Bay Atari scrap. Justin purchased one of Bests drop in replacement Jaguar US replacement motherboards. "I got my replacement motherboard today, popped it right in and my Jaguar worked like a charm just as advertised. I've gotta tell you this definitely brought back some memories. I felt like a kid again. This is awesome. I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm very satisfied in Best Electronics!!!!! 2 thumbs up!!!! Thx"
Boisy P of LA "I received my Atari 2600 order this weekend." Boisy purchased a Reconditioned Atari 2600 Heavy console with the Composite Video mod. "All I can say is WOW.

I’m very happy with the system and am glad I got the composite mod."
Richard O. of NY Richard was trying to get his Atari ST computer going again but could not find he old Atari ST DMA cable for his external ST Hard Drive. He ordered one of Bests new 6 ft Atari ST DMA cables.
"Hi, just wanted to let you know that the 6' Hard drive cable works fine and thanks for the fast shipping. I ordered it on Friday and received it on Monday."
Jesus D. of Spain Jesus ordered a couple of the last 5 inch Atari I.C. Collector chip wafers we got out of the Atari parts warehouse when we cleared it out years ago! "Wafers safe at home! Thank you very much. A very interesting collector's item."
Follow up Comment: "It is indeed a very interesting piece for me because I worked in the past for Lucent Technologies Microelectronics, and we made wafers like these, so double interest for me also being an Atari fan."
Paolo S. of Italy Paolo's Atari MegaSTE computer Internal Hard Drive mech went bad and his MegaSTE computer was down. He ordered one of Best's lock and load ready to drop in and run, new 324 MB SCSI Hard Drive mechs. "I received the CB103115 hard disk and now my old Atari is born again!

Jose R. of AZ "I can't believe how fast everything went, and you don't even have an online ordering system, un-real, I got my parts like the next day, I will never order from anybody else from now on, forget ebay!! Thanks!"
Jose L. of Spain "I’ve received my order, everything is OK, the packaging was excellent and everything arrived in perfect condition, thank you very much. The Atari Lynx Pins are perfect, and the Blue Lightning Demo card, as you told me is in an AWESOME GREAT SHAPE (many, many thanks), as well as the boxed games (Ninja Gaiden III and Baseball Heroes). The Atari box and the other stuff was a really nice surprise."
Del M. of TX "Four orders in three months and with fast shipping and great customer service. Thank you again." Del's second Atari feed back comment to Best.
Alex O. of France "Not only you provide the BEST services but since you shipped my Stacy very quickly last week after my payment Saturday it was delivered FASTER THAN LIGHT in front of my door Tuesday in the morning. Anyway I am a very happy customer ;)"

Ben L. of GA "I finally placed my Lynx order for a refurbished system, battery pack and large carrying case, along with a replacement 7800 power supply and, what the heck, some joystick rebuild kits for the Atari 2600. When the package arrived, I was very pleasantly surprised. First off, the box itself was covered in Atari packing tape, which was a really nice touch. I’m happy to say the refurbished Lynx came in ‘like new’ condition and screen looks fantastic. The large Lynx carrying case was new in the box and the NiCad battery pack works great. All in all, opening the package brought a smile to my face." "The Best Electronics website may be a little retro compared to contemporary eCommerce sites, but I have to say, Bradley is great with helping you with your order via email. If you are in the market for some old Atari items, or even new items, I highly recommend browsing the Best website. They really cater to the Atari fan"
Rodrigo G. of Brazil Rodrigo ordered some Atari CX40 Joystick new Fire buttons, new CX40 Rubber boot and Best exclusive Atari CX40 Joystick Improved / Upgraded Rebuild kits with the Bests CX40 Gold Lifetime PCB board.

I have precision again and I love the "clicky" feeling of the new gold boards. I feel my joysticks like new again! Thanks!"
Ken S. of NY Ken contacted Best Electronics late June 2013. He said he had a bad Atari 2600A console and was thinking about getting one of Best Electronics complete Reconditioned 2600A systems. We suggested to Ken it would be more cost effective for him to get a new drop in (Phillips Screwdriver Job) Atari 2600A replacement US Motherboard. We sent Ken a new 2600A US Motherboard on July 1, 2013. Toward the end of July Ken contacted Best Electronics and said his new Atari 2600A motherboard had developed some 2600 sound issues. We said for him to send it back in and he did. It arrived on a Monday afternoon. Our 29+ year Atari Super tech, jumped right on it. He had the problem fixed and sent back the 2600A motherboard back to Ken the same Monday evening. "I received the replacement motherboard and the boxed Mousetrap game yesterday. Thanks for your fast service and the unexpected gift! I've installed the new board and all is well. Thanks again for your amazing service! Best is an amazing resource and company."
Steve M. of IL Steve placed a large ($$$) Atari order for some New Atari Lynx and New Jaguar Games, other Atari hardware and Atari Controllers. "Everything arrived as expected, thanks again! Keep up the good work for us Atari fans!"
Gordon M. of CT "Thanks so much, I received my package today!" Gordon contacted Best Electronics about sending in his Atari 800 computer with a keyboard problem for repair. Because of the very heavy nature of the Atari 800 8 bit computer with the internal die casting RF shield, we told Gordon it would not be cost effective for him to send it in for repair and back to him. Best suggested a new drop in (Phillips screwdriver job) Atari OEM US 800 replacement Keyboard he could very easily install himself. I am very impressed by your professionalism and service. Thanks so much.
Del M. of TX Del was going to be in San Jose, CA area on a business trip for a week. Del had made arrangements via E-Mail to pick up some Atari items he needed from Best Electronics. "I did post on Atari Age Forum that I had a great experience at your shop. It generated a lot of responses. Hope to do more business in the near future."

Ben F. of the UK "Got the Jag CD last month from you and have it set up now with a power supply. Brilliant item. Thanks for your great service!" Ben was looking for complete Atari Jaguar CD Player sent to England. We recommend to Ben, because of the Very high cost of International Shipping to the UK and the heavy nature of the complete Jaguar CD Player, that he should get Bests Reconditioned Atari Jaguar CD player only and get the Atari Jaguar CD software and UK Atari Jaguar Power supply in the Euro Zone, where shipping costs are about 1/5 to 1/6 of the high cost of International shipping.
David M. of WV "thanks for your help. I have Best Electronics saved in my favorites file and will check from time to time to see if you have anything else I might need for my system. I still enjoy playing Atari games and appreciate your company keeping the Atari tradition going strong." David was putting his old Atari 800 back in use and purchased a Best Enhanced Atari Composite Video Cable for his Atari 800 Computer and a couple or our Atari CX40 Gold Joystick Rebuild kits.
Follow up Comment: "thanks for your help." David was having a problem with his New Enhanced Atari Composite cable he just received. "I got my system going, the picture is very good and the RF interference is gone. Changing the mode on the TV did the trick. Thank you and your Atari Super Tech for your patience, assistance with my problem, and responding so promptly. You truly are an asset to the Atari gaming community. Have a great day!
Mike H. of OH "I received the system today, and it works wonderfully -- thanks!" Mike got one of Bests Recondtioned 7800 Consoles with the Atari Engineering Composite Video and the Euro 7800 OS Mods. "I think the first thing I noticed (other than the excellent composite output) is how easily the cartridges are to insert. The two used systems I tried previously were very fussy and hard to seat the games, but they pop in neatly and easily on this system."
Matt F. of VA "I ordered a CX78 joypad, light gun, and Sentinel for the 7800. I want to thank you for the speedy shipment and let you know that the light gun *does* work with my 7800." Before Matt brought the Best Atari Light gun for his CX7800 Console and Atari 7800 Sentinel Light Gun Game, we explained to Matt, that the 7800 Consoles we not 100% Tested at the Atari 7800 production / assembly line for proper use of any Atari Light Gun and we have run across a very small percentage of 7800 consoles will not properly work with any Atari or Best Light Gun made or Atari 7800 Light Gun games made.
Ronald H. of KY Ron has been a Best Atari Customer for over 10+ years now and also runs an Atari Internet BBS site which you can view and access, see Atari Links at bottom of this Best Home page. He was having problems with his Atari ST Stacy portable LCD display and asked about getting a new replacement Stacy LCD Display $$$. "The one I have is showing lines or streaks horizontally across the screen, with some vertical ones. Otherwise, it displays fine." We talked to our 28+ year Atari Super Tech about this Atari ST Stacy LCD display problem. He gave Ron some Atari Tech tips to try on his ailing Atari ST Stacy LCD display. "Please tell your tech "thanks!" and give him a big hearty pat on the back for me. :) I did what he said, and I'm slowly getting the streaks/lines out. At first, they would just disappear and then come back. After I kept doing it for a while, and repeatedly, it started working. I'm down to a few streaks in one corner. I think I'll have them all gone before long."
Jacob N. of LA "Just wanted to thank you :) Got my new 800xl power supply" One of Bests New 800XL Rebuildable versions. "and 7800 rapid fire controller today" Bests CX34 Joystick. "Quick shipping and awesome product. Ill definitely be a return customer :) Thanks again :)"

"I am very happy with both systems, all the games and for opting to go with the CX-34 joysticks as recommended; they feel unlike any other joystick I've ever used: quite responsive and precise and a bit more comfortable and easier to hold than the CX-40s. Heresy (not) I say! : ) I am very glad to have the CX-34s over CX-24s. Thank you again for your time and help."

Branton O'B. of Australia "Just wanted to let you know I received my order yesterday, and had time to install the cartridge connector in my 2600. Tricky install, but that just makes it all the more rewarding. I love that I can just pop the game in and have it start up first time, every time. I can even knock it around a bit and not lose my game! I haven't installed the pots yet," Bests New Super Paddle Pots for the Atari CX30 Paddles. "but I'm certain I'll be just as impressed. Cleaning the old cartridge connector and pots only got me so far, but I'll be sure to make these new one last. Many thanks!"

"as a first time customer I am really impressed with the careful packing (the Atari tape is a great touch) and the printouts you sent along with the Jaguar CD. I had fun looking through the Atari information you sent and really appreciated the CD tips that came packaged with the Jaguar CD. I followed the instructions and was careful attaching the CD unit and everything works flawlessly. In addition the CD unit looks brand new. I am very pleased I found your site before purchasing a questionable Ebay unit for way too much money. Great prices and great service, I'll be back. Thanks again!"

Joe S. of MN "Thanks again for your assistance with calibrating my Atari 5200 console." Joe had exchanged out some old non working Atari CX52 Joysticks for Best Reconditioned CX52 Joysticks. When Joe received the Best Reconditioned CX52 Joysticks, he was having some problems with one of the two Best reconditioned CX52 Joysticks he had received. We explained to Joe that all Atari CX52 Joysticks Bests reconditions are tested on Atari Factory consoles that are calibrated to Atari 5200 Engineering Spec's using Atari 5200 Diagnostic hardware. During the Best reconditioning process, each reconditioned Atari CX52 Joystick is tested on several different Atari 5200 Consoles using several different Atari 5200 Game Cartridges and then are put into our stock. Just before the Reconditioned CX52 Joysticks are sent out, they again go into our Atari Tech's area to be again tested on Factory spec Atari 5200 consoles. We explained to Joe, that we have found over the last 25+ years selling Atari CX52 Joysticks, that some of the Atari 5200 consoles have electronically drifted off the Atari 5200 Factory Joystick port settings, casing the one reconditioned CX52 Joystick problem Joe was having. We explained that we can help Joe do the minor internal setting adjustment over the phone within his 5200 console to get his one Best CX52 Joystick problem corrected. "Controllers are working great! Kids and I are having a blast! Thanks"

This Best Upgrade kit replaces the stock Atari 7800 OS ROM with the upgraded Atari Engineering 7800 Euro version.

It also installs a complete internal Atari 7800 Asteroids Game as the default game when no 2600 or 7800 game cartridge is installed in the 7800 console.
