Atari Star Wars upright in Phoenix, not booting, make an offer.
EDIT: It is fixed but we're still interested in selling it as a working unit, because we can't operate equipment this sensitive month in and month out.
Hi folks.
Okay, we give up.
I'm a pretty good repair-minded guy, but after a controller rebuild that finally had me smiling from ear to ear at the performance of this thing, it went less than a day before failing to boot. We're way upside down on it, but it doesn't matter. It has to go. Our floor needs to have working equipment that earns money, never mind how much of a sentimental favorite Star Wars is.
Until EARLIER TODAY this thing worked. The monitor probably could have used a cap kit but the unit was 100% functional. I have no idea what happened to make it stop working because I wasn't at the shop when it quit. It doesn't play blind, it just doesn't boot at all. There's nothing unusual about the unit otherwise, it is pretty much all original issue other than the internal gears and pots from the controller rebuild. Still has the PCB cage, original wiring, and all that.
You'll have to pick up in Gilbert, AZ (near Phoenix). We can help you load.
Name a number. If the number doesn't hurt my soul too much, it's all yours. /cry
EDIT: I suppose I can just part it out. But if someone wants to have one intact to try to restore, well, the sideart is complete and in really good shape, so it seems like it would be a waste to dismantle it.
