I didn't see your post, but I picked this up.
Cab is fully hosed / swollen sadly, but I'll try to get it up and running, and maybe build a new cabinet down the road.

Would be a nice grab for someone for that price!

If it's complete you shouldn't have too much trouble getting it running.

That cabinet however. Oh man. That's sad. Be sure to make a build thread if you make a new one!

Hope you can save it.

I will do that, I'm trying out fusion 360.

It is missing one small auxillary board, should be easy to replace or replicate

@Dillweed got one not too long ago.

I wonder how many are left. Also wonder value on these clones. The original Yellow pong seems to have skyrocketed in price.

Pong was first. Pong was unique. Pong was from Atari. Pong launched Atari. Pong is iconic.
There is Pong.

The clones are.....clones. The "also rans" foot notes to the legend. The basis of countless stories and adventures, but all related to their status as Atari competitors and copy cats.

Pong clones are cool and collectible and the variety is astounding and interesting in and of itself. They are worthy of saving.

But they are somewhat ubiquitous. And they are not Pong. They will never have the same historical or cultural relevance, nor the same commercial value.

Thats the reason i keep holding out for the Syzegy and willing to pay a premium for it.

But This one and computer space ball have their own history worth telling too.
