There are some neat additions to the museum that have happened in November.

First, if you read the other thread... a rare Sundance machine.

And.... the first (that I know of) Dr. Pong that has shown up.... photo attached (the left side isn't straight up, its an odd camera angle).

Note that the location of the start button is in a slightly different location, and the instruction overlay a bit different, than the one in the atari flyer: http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=wide-flyer&db=videodb&id=1986&image=4

We also received some rare Atari test equipment 1/3 of which I've not seen before, and several hundred manual/schematic packages for bronze age TTL games...the result of 6 days touring the midwest.

So this was a pong machine for the waiting room in a doctor's office? Cool idea!

The dentist I take my kids to has a waiting room with 3 arcade cabinets, and 3 megatouchs. It is a great dentist that the kids love and you know your kids are safe, and won't have any unnecessary work done.

I'm very interested in the test equipment. What was it? Any pictures?

Very cool score!

Cool! Just out of curiosity, were any of the manuals or paperwork you picked up for Atari's Quadrapong? The only info I've found on that was some schematics that Alex Yeckely was kind enough to provide.
