Atari Keyboard Controllers CX50 Teardown
I found this at a local Bibles For Missions. The price was a bit high. $4.00 but I really wanted to get inside of this unit and see how it worked. Since Atari had all sorts of games released back in the day, its not a big deal to find a piece of hardware that you never seen before. Unfortunately there were no games or 2600 systems to be seen.
