About to leave to pick up my Atari Quadrapong. Pretty excited about it. Game 1/2 works. Monitor powers up and shows an image. It coins up and you can move the paddles, but there is no sound and the game doesn't really play. The monitor could definitely use some new caps. It is in really great shape and completely retro. Pics to come later after pickup.

Have a good trip! Looking forward to the pictures.
 
Here it is. It's in great shape. It needs to be cleaned up. The monitor looks great though. I didn't get a chance to snap a picture after I adjusted it. The game coins up, but two of the 4 paddles don't show up on the screen and the ball just sits idle and never moves. I've got the schematics and think this one should be an easy fix. I love Atari schematics.

Not sure how many are in existance, it seems like a pretty sweet game. Got it off a guy that was selling a bunch of games he inherited from his father. I was a little worried at first about having the ability to fix it, but seriously the board is all TTL chips, there is no Cpu nor ram nor rom and the schematics look pretty detailed that I was sent from supergunguru. I have a nice little project tomorrow that I will be playing around with. I'm happy it's 1/2 working. I just need to study the prints and figure out how the damn thing works so I can fix the board.
 
Very cool looking, mod 70's game! Sooo 70's looking! I can almost see the green, shag carpet it used to sit on.
 
What other games did he have?

Looks like a great 4 player game.

He had some old EM games.

One was a 4 player basketball game Midway basketball.

And a EM shooting game that was in really nice shape Bally Derby

All the games appeared to have been sitting in a private home for awhile. I'd love to have picked up the Bally Derby, but just don't have the room and not sure if I have the patience to adjust contacts on an EM game.
