atari8warez Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) That's what I thought too, but the seller says: "Hello, The casing was added to a board only prototype for protection. Thanks" Edited July 6, 2014 by atari8warez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Well, then get a picture of the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 The board is a prototype board. The regular released games and the modern homebrew boards are narrower. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Real prototype PCB, may have come from best electronics or something. The poor solder job on the back could be a clue that it was assembled by someone else who didn't know what they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Is it unusual for the EPROM's to have nothing written on them? I would think that Atari would want to write something on the sticker for identification purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a hand soldered 5200 proto, to be honest. All the ones I ever had, were wave soldered, which would seal the open pin holes. I just looked at the last one I have left, which is a loose Pengo proto, uniform wave soldered. Tempest needs to chime in on this, I have not seen as many of them as he has.

roadrunner Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Was this game real? It looks like a paper towel for a label.http://www.ebay.com/itm/ATARI-5200-DIAGNOSTIC-CARTRIDGE-GUARANTEED-TO-WORK-/251048905090?pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item3a73ae4982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari181 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Could be, bit with an auction that states "could be a reproduction" I highly doubt it is. That is generally the way a shady seller who knows its a repro lists it. It's the "I told you I didn't know" excuse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Is this real? TCM listing reads Hozer but I don't see a Hozer logo on it.Can't tell by the pic, the label is peeling.http://www.ebay.com/itm/221490027122?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
