SOLD - GAME Monte Carlo by Atari! Great shape and clean, untested no back door $325

Good, now I can entice you to measure the inner monitor bezel so I can make / recreate one for mine.

Is this what you are needing measured? Let me know I'll be glad to help as best I can.

Wait that's the legit inner bezel for Monte Carlo? I've only seen plain black ones! Wild! I see it's on your floor, you selling that by any chance? I'd like to get that scanned so it can be repro'd.

I'm building one myself so I can't sell it but I would love to see it reproduced. What if I mailed you this one?
 
Oh Dang! My bad...I'm not very familiar with either of them and haven't laid eyes on it for a few months
 
Now that this is sold,

For anyone restoring one of these, be aware that Monte Carlo uses a unique kind of AR-II, which is different from all other AR-II types. It's an earlier/alternate design of what is functionally the same as an AR-II-03, but with a different design to generate the -5V.

You can technically plug a regular Missile Command AR-II-03 in a Monte Carlo and it will work plug and play. But if you want the 'period correct' AR, it looks like the one in this thread. Note the main difference being the huge cap in the lower right corner, which all other AR-II's don't have:


I actually have one of these, which I ended up with from another member here who traded it in. I've refurbed it, and it works fine. If anyone is looking for one, you can have it for my standard AR price of $65 shipped.

PM if interested, I'd love for it to find its way back into a proper cab.
 
There's no reason to use a -03, even with most missile commands.
Unless the CPU PCB is strapped for 2708s the -5V draw is low enough for a "normal" ARII with a higher value R31.

Monte Carlo can be strapped for 2708s but doesn't have the 4116s, so 2716s (which is how all board I've seen are populated), the -5V only goes to some amps.

Thanks for the insight, I thought it was a normal one until you mentioned that (and I saw the diode instead of the 10 ohm resistor). I already replaced the diode and 2n3055, as well as reflowed the solder joints. Lots of cracked joints on this one. I'm gonna see what I can do about getting this game working over the next week or so.

Yah baby!
