My Atari Super Sprint
« on: May 31, 2015, 11:58:03 AM »
Grabbed a few pics of this, needs some TLC for sure, and I have no time just now to do anything with it so it will be one for the future after I get other projects finished. I did power it up and it worked and produced a decent picture considering it has been in a container for years! will not put power again until I have checked it over as not even seen inside it yet!

On my WANT list, so if you ever want to part with it.... ;)

I WOULD give it a bigger monitor. Someone on KLOV made a decent cardboard bezel to be printed that perfectly fits a 25" tube :)
I know, it's not original but it makes the game faaar better IMHO.

Was there a 25" screen version of this? I seem to think there was! something to think about, It might be next year before I get started on this! or knowing me something else will come along to distract me. there is similar one on Ebay right now

No problem, mate...I found it on J+ ;)

It seems to have different steering wheels....curious what it will go for.

I was already thinking about a scratch build because you even cannot find an empty shell. I have two spare Pole Position wheels and it shouldn't be a problem to find a 3rd one....oh well, + 3 gas pedals  ::)

Usually if one turns up on Ebay and does well more will follow so might be worth a wait and see!

This game reminds me of my last visit to Fun Spot. My cousin who lives not too far from it totally SMOKED me on that game....but he had played it in his youth ....so not fair ;)
