Atari Championship Sprint - To Buy or NOT to buy ????

[Dexter]

Ok,

I can get a Championship Sprint cab CHEAP (said to be NOT working) has the boards, monitor and almost complete (no Marquee)

Now I can get ALL the parts needed for this and would cost me LESS than $300 (aus$) all up for a working Championship Sprint.

Thoughts ?

I used to have a Super Sprint and LOVED it, never really played this one. Worth it ??

i'd go for it in a second, although there is A LOT OF cleaning up to do (rust rust rust).

The rust part is okay as I have a few old wheels from my Super Sprint.

One thing I noticed is that the cabinet is a little different than the one I've seen elsewhere. Might have to MOD the cabinet down the track or Repro the cab.

Have a look:

Yeps, it looks like a Paperboy cab, somehow? :

[Dexter]

Correct, so do I mod the cab to look the same ? or if the cab needs woodwork then I'll just make a new cab and mod it to be the same as the Paperboy one

Stay tuned

Well after a small search, I've managed to find screen printed sideart (WooHoo) and a control panel and marquee.

Gonna try and collect the game this weekend if all goes okay

Sure thing Bruno, but this is only like 20K's or so away from me. But Out Run is 1000K's and I'll be sure to get some photo's for you on that one too

I never really played it (from what I remember) but I LOVED Super Sprint.

If I get this cab cheap then yeah I will. I can get all the parts to restore it (and I LOVE restoring) so we'll see.

I would be in your same position,

I loved Super Sprint but this one was not one of my favorites

I played in Rimini when I was a child but I can't say I'm a avid collecotr for that

Think well before do it
