atari flashback 2 mod service?

[KMSoulja]

Does anybody know of anywhere that has a mod service for the atari 2 flashback? I found one today and bought it but i kinda would like to get it modded to play cartridges. If anybody knows who does this please let me know. Thanks

I know you want a service, but here's a guide on how to do it yourself.

I've seen these around, but never thought much of it. But this looks like a neat mod, I might try it myself. (I wouldn't trust myself to mod one for anyone else though.)

I've done it. The soldering was a bit tricky at first but wasn't too bad. Couple of good tutorials around.

here's a couple pics from mine.

~also, I could have put a low profile switch on it, but the more stuff I mod (consoles, games, ecigs, etc) the more I love putting big shiny obnoxious switches on things ;P

looks like there is heavy soldering involved. how long did it take you to perform that mod?

A few hours. The soldering is intimidating at first but wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. (this was the first real project I did besides recapping game gears)
This is one of those projects where it was more fun doing than using. I've brought it out.. maybe twice since building it. lol.

I have a spare Genesis model 2 and 32x that I plan to make into a homemade Neptune someday with the same line of thinking.  It will be more fun to make it than use it.

I've been thinking about that too. xD I have a spare 32x and a stack of genesis consoles.
It's been a good while since I did the atari, and I'm a decent bit better at soldering now =P

back to the OP - If you really REALLY don't want to DIY the atari, try poking around the atari age forum and see if some one there would be willing.
I'm sure it would get a bit pricey though. I THINK including the flashback 2 ($20 shipped from ebay), the mod cost me somewhere between $70 - $80 DIY

Also the only place that seems to sell the pin connectors, well their website is just a parts list thats looks like it was made in 1995. to order you have to call them or email them with a list of the part numbers and your credit card number. Felt shady as hell, but it all went ok =P
