Atari 4-Player Football?

"Game worked 4 years ago. HAs not been turned on since then till now. IT will not fire up completely. "

Huh? Game worked 4 years ago, hasn't been turned on since, but he knows in his heart it will not fire up completely now?
 
Yeah I remember the DOE saga, too bad that the museum never came into fruition....

Go read it again... The "till now" means he had not turned it on until now which means he did finally turn it on.

For the asking price I wouldn't even read the story and would be loading it in my truck. :)

Easy enough to source and replace all the parts inside with the exception of the tube. Still doable but that would take just a bit longer. Just make sure the tube appears sealed and when plugged in has neck glow.

Condition looks good but I'd bet you could get it for $75 - $100 cash once you're on-site.

I'm have tempted since I do have a working BW monitor. Only thing is that I don't have the room since we'll be in Michigan this week taking our smaller vehicle.
 
4 player

I have seen a couple of these but I have no idea of the value since one has not been sold to a collector in a long time. 2 player is worth $500-$800 so a 4 player is worth????
 
4 player cab is much rarer than the two player and excellent condition ones have sold for $2000 (in 1998). Go get it at that price. Working you should be able to resell it for a profit. Maybe $600 - $1000 depending on the buyer and the condition in this market.
 
Got it last night!

Even got it working first. Very simple, just messed with the coin door shut-off switch and reseated all the connectors.

What a task to get it up the steps though!!!

I'll prob sell my 2 player version now, any idea what they go for fully working?
 
Sorry... I will try to in the next couple weeks. I am trying to decide whether to sell my 2 player version now?!? I thought it would be a no brainer but now that I see that the game plays are differnt (I had remembered it a bit differently as a kid, thought that they were the same with a couple extra on the 4 player) I am not sure that I want to?!?!

What does a B+ / A- 2 player unit go for?
 
I had one that I got in a package deal several years ago. The package deal had 30+ video games and two pinball machines. I only wanted the one pinball machine (TZ) so I eBay'ed everything else. I believe it only sold for around $100 on eBay. I wish I would have kept some of the video games but I was a pinball only collector back then. A lot of Chicagoland collectors got a great deal on my eBay video games back then. Most of the stuff sold cheap and there were some great titles (90% of the games worked). I guess I am the only one to blame since I did start all the auctions off at 1 cent.
