Atari 2600 Pause Kit Installation Instructions
Atari 2600 Pause KitInstallation InstructionsCongratulations on your purchase of an Atari 2600Pause Kit! Once installed in your Atari 2600, youʼll beable to pause your favorite games at any time. You cananswer the phone, get a bite to eat, go to work, andwhen you return to your 2600 you can resume yourgame right where you left it!While paused, the Atari 2600 will display either a blankscreen, “garbage”, or an invalid television signal.Thereʼs not much that can be done about that,unfortunately. The Atari 2600 was never designed to bepaused in this nature!Parts Included: Populated Atari 2600 Pause Kit circuit boardRed, Black, Blue, Green and Orange (x2) wiresHeat shrink tubingToggle switchDouble-sided tapeTools Needed: Soldering Iron (and solder)X-Acto KnifeDrill with 1/4” Drill BitNeedle-nose PliersPhillips-head Screwdriver
Installation Instructions:You can install the 2600 Pause Kit in a variety of Atari 2600 consoles produced by Atari(Heavy Sixer, 4-switch, Vader, Junior, 2800). We have not tested this Pause Kit in thirdparty Atari 2600 consoles (such as the Coleco Gemini) or the Atari 5200 VCS Adapter.If you successfully install this board in a non-Atari 2600 console (or the 5200 adapter)please let us know and weʼll update these instructions.The installation procedure is basically the same, regardless of the specific console.Step 1:Open your Atari 2600 console, remove the circuit board from the case, and remove theRF shielding if present. Youʼll need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers (or somethingsimilar) to straighten the metal tabs holding the two halves of the RF shield together. Tryto straighten the tabs as much as possible, as this will make it easier to put the twohalves back together when you are finished.Step 2:You must desolder a resistor on the Atari 2600 circuit board. The location variesdepending on which console you are modifying. Please refer to the images at the endof this document that show the resistor you need to remove. We suggest desolderingthe resistor (so you can “undo” this modification if need be), but you can also cut theresistor out if youʼd prefer.Step 3:Now you must cut a single trace on the circuit board. Again, please refer to the imagesat the bottom of this document to see which trace you need to cut. An X-Acto knifeworks well for this purpose. It canʼt be stressed enough that you must be extremelycareful when cutting the trace on the board so you do not damage any other nearbytraces! You do not want to do permanent damage to your 2600!Step 4:You need to solder four wires from the 2600 Pause Kit to four locations on the 2600circuit board. Depending on which console you modify (Heavy Sixer, 4-Switch, Junior,or 2800), the board will be laid out differently. You will be soldering the VCC, GND,6507, and TIA connections on the Pause Kit to the appropriate locations on the Atari2600 board.Use suggest using the Red wire for VCC, Black for GND, Blue for 6507 and Green forTIA. You donʼt have to use these particular colors, but make sure you save the two longOrange wires for the toggle switch!
Be very careful when soldering the wires to the Atari 2600 chips! These integratedcircuits are sensitive to heat, so take care to not leave your soldering iron in contact withindividual pins for more time than is necessary.Step 5:Now you can connect the 2600 Pause Kit circuit board to the Toggle Switch using theprovided orange wires.Step 6:Your 2600 Pause Kit is now electrically complete! Before going further, itʼs a good ideato test out the Pause Kit to make sure it is working properly. Place your 2600 circuitboard on a non-conductive surface, plug in your favorite Atari 2600 game, attach thepower and RF cables, and power it up!If you donʼt see a picture, try switching the toggle switch. If you still donʼt see the game,verify that you removed the correct resistor, that you cut the correct trace on the board,and carefully check your solder connections.Step 7:Slide the heat shrink tubing over the 2600 Pause Kit circuit board and use a heat gun orhair dryer to evenly heat the tubing until it shrinks around the board. This will helpprevent any electrical shorts.Step 8:Use the included piece of double-sided tape to affix the 2600 Pause Kit circuit board toone of the chips on the 2600 circuit board. Take care not to put any stress on theconnections you made to the 6507 and TIA chips.Step 9:Reattach the RF shield, routing the two wires for the toggle switch under the shield orthrough an opening (if available). The edges of the RF shield may be sharp (andperhaps rusty), so be careful not to damage the wires or yourself!
Step 10:Using a drill with a 1/4” drill bit, drill a hole in the top half of your Atari 2600 case whereyou want to place the toggle switch. When selecting a location, make sure that theswitch will not interfere with assembling the two halves of the case together after theswitch is installed. Here are two examples showing possible installation locations for2600 Jr. and 4-Switch models:Step 11:Unscrew the nut and small washer from the switch (leave the larger washer in place).Push the threaded portion of the switch through the case from the inside, and thenattach the washer, followed by the nut. You can rotate the switch before tightening itbased on your preference for how you want the switch to operate (left/right or up/down),as well as which position is “Paused”. Tighten up the nut with your pliers.Step 12:Now itʼs time to reassemble your 2600! Place the 2600 circuit board in the bottom halfof its case and then fit the top half of the case on the lower half. Be aware of theposition of the orange wires for the switch, so that they do not get pinched by the case,switches, screw posts, or anything else in the case! Use the screws you removedearlier to fasten the two halves of the case back together.Youʼre finished! Hook up your 2600 and test out your new Pause functionality!
