Hi this is my first long road trip ;-).
Start from Italy near 22.00 and drive for 550Km to digne les bains.

During the trip @ arount 2 am with after drinking a lot of redbull and italian coffe we start to see strange things
-
Then we arrived @ France and at around 4.00 take a rest......... truck is not so comfortable and we sleep @ 12 Degrees.
-
after 2h of heavy sleep .......... we bring back to the route and call spectroman ;-)
-
We just arrived and start working !!!

Looking around

Cool post! Can you tell us a bit about the backstory? Is it a raid or a cab exchange?
-
It was a scheduled raid. Thanks to spectroman look at his posts

Awesome road trip/ raid with lots of Atari France machines !
I do wonder, did you take those pics with a Nokia from 1998 ? :D
Is that a French Atari Basketball ?
The bezel looks different from what I remember....
No offence but Atari France didnt actually make The most beautiful looking machines.......that Asteroids......mmmmmm...and always those naked control panels.....but still....I love all Euro machines !!!
-
I also spot an awesome Atari Destroyer...a Nice variation on the usual sub games !!!
Lovely cab and game looks kinda challenging too:

And.......I see a Seeburg USC-1 Bandshell.......did you take that ?
-
No, my contact think that his jukebox was a treasure.
He wants 700€/piece "as is" and dust is free :shock:
-
;D
Nokia .... The problem is how to upload picture on this forum... I have picture of too big size and I 'll resize in a quick and dirt way.
the jukebox are too expensive for us.
French game are not so nice as other but it's a piece of Atari story and I can't miss them ;-)
The basketball was the Atari Ireland but tomorrow I'll double check.

The basketball

No, my contact think that his jukebox was a treasure.
He wants 700€/piece "as is" and dust is free :shock:
Hah, there are always crazy folks like that:

LOL !
IIRC i paid 300 Euro for my Bandshell, in working condition.
-
OK so Basketball is the Irish one....mmmm.
I remember the bezel to be like this on the one I saw at a Belgian warehouse, but I have no clue if it was an Irish or US machine.

The bezel on the one the picture you posted looks like this one I guess:

So, maybe a US bezel on an Irish cab ? IMHO the US bezel is cooler in this case....
Yes DEFINITLY Atari history and LOVE to see them rescued ! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
