I didn't think anyone actually bought the Disney TVs.

It's actually a computer monitor for a "Disney dream desk PC", that apparently had horrible reviews.

Where is the NES controller? All I see is an Atari 2600 controller...

Ah, crap. Forgot to include it. This tower of commodore was a sleep deprived project to occupy some time. I just ripped out the chip, a few uselss bridges, and ran the wires from the buttons straight to an atari style plug.

Sweet. I'd like to see someone mod an NES controller for use on an Atari 7800 (2 button system) and somehow override the Pause/Select buttons on the console with the Start/Select buttons on the NES controller...

That doesn't sound very difficult. Atari style plugs normally have unused pins so you could assign one to select. You would have to solder a jumper wire in the console too.

Mickey Mouse monitor? Classy.

Just curious, are those Smaller Advents?

Yes they are. The whole shebang is sitting on a dbx 15" woofer too.

Nice. I had a pair of those, but sold them to a friend. I now have some Dynaco A-25s (a very similar design) that don't get used much, but my two Klipsch Heresy Decorators get used daily with my Dynakit ST-70.

I'm currious, how did you interface the c64 to the raspi? What's running on the raspi, software wise, and how do you access it on the c64?
*EDIT
Found info here, here, and the source code for the program running on the raspi here
