$50 got me my 10th game, or in other words, another headache!

Got tipped off by a thrift store goer that were was an "Old Atari game you might like." So I went to go check it out, expecting a $300 Centipede or whatever, but I walked in and layed eyes on a poor, abandoned Pole Position. "Hey, this will be fun!" says I.

The tag read "$50 Antique Atari Game. Doesnt work. Maybe U can fix it"

Well for $50, maybe I can :D

Then again, maybe I cant. Ive heard bad things about PP's reliability... The Matsushita monitor had a blown fuse, so I popped one in and turned it on and POP!! FLASH!!!! Uh oh... The game itself seemed to boot up for a second, then it stopped and I havent been able to get it to boot up since. The Power supply is an electrical nightmare, so I might have found a use for the parts in that Centipede cabaret that seems to enjoy raping me of my dignity.

Heh! If you thought the Centi cabaret was a PITA, then this probably wasn't the one for you. ;) I predict it'll be in the for sale section in < 2 weeks. :D
 
Notorious for problems, those PPs... :rolleyes:






I mame'd mine. (Whistling, looking at ceiling) (Hides from potential rock-throwers)

I paid $50 for mine as well, but yours looks to be in much better shape. And mine came with no monitor...
 
Is there anything I should know if I wanted to swap the monitor with a G07? Will the syncs match up?
