I bought my Tele Games video pinball console NEW back in the 80s and still have it. Looks and works like the day I bought it. A few months ago, I bought the Atari white video pinball console off Ebay for $5 in mint condition & works perfect, then a few days later, got the same deal again, and bought that one too.

 

So now I have three, all sitting at the foot of my bed.

Almost as creepy as the Geico dollar bill guy. I can see it now -

 

"Honey, what happened to the money we could be saving with Geico guy that used to be at the end of our bed?"

"Oh, he's gone. Traded him in for three video pinball consoles."

That is a commercial I want to see reach fruition! :cool:

 

I have the Sears version with 4 paddle controllers for the built in Pong VI. If anyone wants to see it I'll post pics. I don't tend to see too many of these around online. It's a nice little console.

 

I won an auction for a NIB one a few months ago and then the seller never shipped it. BASTARD! :x

Hello, brand new member. Just bought a Stunt Cycle upright arcade game this week on ebay. Picked it up the next day! Been looking for almost 10 years for a working one!

 

Later, Scott (Nebraska)

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Please post some pics of your arcade machine... I love the 70s look of the arcade cabinet. :)

Just curious how many people have these systems and play them.

 

I have both the Stunt Cycle and Video Pinball (White version). I play the Video Pinball one a few times a month.

 

I own the boxed Video Pinball console (woodgrain). It appears to be superior to the 2600 version. I haven't been lucky enough to win the bid on the Stunt Cycle console yet, though I have seen them go for $20-$50 on Ebay in the past year.

I have the Atari Video Pinball (white-cream version) but i've sold the Atari Stunt Cycle some time ago because it is the

same games found in the GI AY-3-8765 (also AY-3-8760) that is one of the two chips found in the Sears Motocross system.

 

But i have a request to any who has an Atari Stunt Cycle. I found out that the Atari Stunt Cycle has a dedicated game chip

called "C010730-07". Can anyone open up their Atari Stunt Cycle and tell me how many pins it has (28-pins ??) and the logo

or company written on it (AMI ??) or better yet, take simply a picture of the game chip!

 

Because i greatly suspect that Atari relabeled a General Instrument (GI) AY-38760 and put the code "C010730-07" on their

game chip. Which, if is true, would be the first time that Atari didn't released a game chip by AMI in North America.

 

But the Atari Hockey Pong (model C-121)(1976) was released ONLY in Europe and uses a GI AY-3-8500 (PAL

version of the AY-3-8500-1), this one is ultimately rare to find in Europe. For pictures, check here:

Anyone can help me out with this request PPLLEEEAASSSEEEE??!!! (for historical and database information)

I've got 2 video pinball units, one got hacked with a PlayStation controller so I could play all those cool pinball games with flipper buttons! Now' I'm going to hack it again with a PS3 controller to play that real cool new Williams compilation!

 

One of mine was broken .. so I hacked it to work with the 2600, Vectrex, Bally Astrocade pinball games .. I installed a tilt device also ..

 

On top I installed a driver controller spinner to play tempest games .. hot glued some pennies into the cap for some angular spin momentum ...
