Atari Anti-Aircraft sold for $23.50 on eBay back in September... wow that's cheap. The board by itself would have sold for a lot more than that...

Here are about half the photos from the auction...

Seller (saintjamesgames) description:
Original 1975 Atari ANTI-AIRCRAFT upright arcade game (NOT Working). When I got this machine, the floorboard was completely ruined, so I rebuilt and replaced it plus the bottom few inches of the cabinet, with 3/4" birch plywood. No doubt, you can certainly see the where repair is, but it is much more structurally sound now, and I was able to retain most of the original side graphics (see photos). I've done a few other more minor repairs to the cabinet, and also built a replacement back door, which was missing. The rest of the cabinet's exterior has a standard collection of scratches, scars, and patina, including decades of cigarette indentations in the control panel, but overall, it's still a cool-looking and presentable game.

The machine is basically complete otherwise, including matching serial numbers (#1285) on the cabinet, the PCB, and the monitor (which has obvious screen-burn from this game). All the harness wiring, buttons, and other internal components are present, as well as an original service manual. The inside actually looks very nice, but when I test the AC lines going into the machine, they read as if they are shorted together, as if maybe the transformer or something in the wiring is shorted out. I don't know, but I don't want to put power to it, in case it might cause potential damage. I also don't know which other components might be functional, and which might not be, so the next owner should consider this machine to be a NON-functional, NOT-working project. I'd rather pass this machine on to someone with more knowledge about these older games, instead of experimenting on a 49-year-old bronze-age machine that someone else will have to fix later.

PICK-UP in SAINT JAMES, MISSOURI (On I-44 between St. Louis and Springfield).
