Has anyone preserved this Atari distributor(?) stuff?

Hey guys,

A friend knew an operator and has had this folder around for a long time. We're in Ontario, Canada.

It has a pack of posters for games like Football, Fire Truck, Night Driver, Middle Earth and more, and a couple inserts for their test fixtures and Starworld '78.

But more interestingly, and possibly not even related to the folder, a pack of 21 microfiches of assembly drawings for all the late 70s games.

I made a quick viewer with my electronics microscope and a light underneath.

Anyone seen this stuff before?

Reminds me of when I found a Midway bronze era diagnostics and service manual at a distributor. Paid $10, but it was something I'd not seen scanned. That was years ago and it believe it has since been scanned.

Definitely scan those ASAP!

There is now drool all over my keyboard. Thanks.

Really awesome find. Just incredible!
 
That microfiche is ridiculous! (echoing "drool on keyboard" comments)
Get those scanned ASAP. In high resolution if feasible.

Finds like this are amazing.
 
Cool, I'll make an archive of them with the microscope this week and explore some options for higher res scans. From what I have read it seems that they don't really get scanned so much as projected and photographed.
 
You can check on The Arcade Flyer Archive to see if those particular flyers ("posters") have already been scanned.
