“Up for bid is a good-as-new, modified Atari 2600 with Synthcart!
If you’re looking, you probably already know that Synthcart turns the Atari console into a crunchy,8-bit analog synthesizer and drum machine. Great fun with these great sounds! The console is already modified with a 1/4″ out jack (ie, same as a guitar or keyboard audio cable), so it’s all set to be plugged into any amp or mixer. Also included is an external MIDI mod kit from Highly Liquid- http://www.highlyliquid.com/kits/midi2600/ – a $50 value!
All-in-all, this package comes with: the 2600 console, Synthcart, 2 controllers, 2 controller-extension cords, 1 power supply, 1 MIDI cable, and the Highly Liquid MIDI kit. Not only that, but I’ll also throw in a 2600 Jr Console which you can use for games or turn around and sell!” Link
“classic Atari 2600 w/ vintage wood panel, modded w/ 1/4″ audio jack for use in studio/live. audio still works thru the tv. excellent condition.
comes w/ 2, 12 button controllers, synth cart homebrew cartridge, power supply, and various TV adapters.
synthcart turns Atari into a full fledged 2 voice, 8 bit lofi synths w/ drums, rhythms, glitch. a bunch of different synth voices, noise sources, arpeggiator, tremolo, sustain envelopes, etc.
sounds are awesome, OG video game tones, lots of fun, also has a secret menu that acts as a visualization to your music.

“Atari 2600 with synthcart. very cool synth I’ve had this since 2007. A favorite among my friends especially when jamming. .
I soldered the 1/4″ jack myself so I could hook it up to an amp or through effect pedals. Comes with the television adapter(which i had to search a few flea markets for. It connects via coax), two key pads, and the power adapter that I took from an old phone. Everything in the Atari itself works as it should.
The number pads have quite a few buttons missing. I’ve filled the empty buttons with bits of wadded up paper which works fine. But I would suggest looking for the Atari “touch pad”. They have nice rubber buttons that don’t fall out. They sell for pretty cheap on eBay. I’m including these because they’re all I have.
I also know that this can be controlled via midi e.g. you can hook a midi controller to the Atari. There’s a few kits available online to do this. just Google “synthcart midi highly liquid” Link
“Atari 2600 with Synthcart synthesizer cartridge, two keyboard controllers, 1/4″ audio out and Highly Liquid MIDI aftermarket module! I purchased the Atari 2600 and MIDI module separately, had it installed by a licensed tech here in town. All the blippy, buzzy video game 8bit sounds are all here and controllable by MIDI. This is not software – this is the real thing and the difference is inarguably significant. Great for live performance as well.” Link
