I think I had the barn find of the day!! In Fresno, CA

Atari 1974 Pin Pong. Unfortunately, it was really in a leaky barn, and is in rough shape. The good news is....it still works and is all there. There's only 3 machines listed on the census. I'm more interested in newer games....but I would like this to get to someone who appreciates it. I posted this as for trade because I'd really like to get a non-bent steering wheel for Ivan Stewarts Off-Road w/the center cap present.
So, if someone wants to come get this thing, and can locate the steering wheel w/center cap.....please come trade me.

The wood on the machine is swollen. Major water damage. The plastic control panel is in very good shape. Just needs cleaning. I pulled out the very elaborate bezel around the screen to let it dry out. The manual was in the machine. The serial number is in the 400s. Buttons work, it coins up, and lights above the screen still light up. Screen surely needs servicing, as I'm sure many things will on this machine. Please let me know if anyone is interested. There's rust on most screws. I'm moving in a couple of weeks, and would like to get this to a good home soon.

Looks like you've got enough there to work with for a restoration of something truly special. Congrats!
 
What a badass little machine! Hopefully you can find someone willing fix it up; there's not all that many of these early 70s games left.

Gotta love that artwork though.
 
Thats a neat machine,if i were closer than $480.00 delivery charge,i'd find an ivan wheel and trade you.
 
No, sorry. I'm not traveling out of Fresno any time I'm aware of. I've gotten a couple PM's from people trying to line it up, but as of now the machine is still available.
