In Part II, we take a look inside the Vidco Copy Cart and Duplicator for the Atari 2600 – a device that can copy almost any Atari game to a re-writable cartridge for play on your system.
If you enjoy, please leave a like and/or a comment and please share! Let me know what you think in the comments – hopefully this follow-up video answered more questions about what is inside this pair of devices.

Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting this video and the previous video. I never owned the Copy Cart and it's probably a good thing because…I out grew the Atari when I was in high school and one day I decided to disassemble the console, all my games and the most interesting Atari thing I owned…a Starpath Supercharger. I hoped to learn something about how it worked. I learned nothing and chucked it all in the trash. I did the same with my record albums when CDs came out.
Great teardown, thanks so much for sharing
This video and all the pictures will definitely be an asset to someone out there. Thanks for the cool view inside!
