atari70s Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 Hey guys i had to tell you all about this. Looking at the thrift shop tonight. by passing the pacmans and asteroids at 3.99 and the bin of tangled atari commodore joysticks ( really really tangled) and i found a little oddity i thought woudl go perfect with my 1977 heavysixer atari system. I saw a Vintage 1970's 9 or 11 inch tv (little portable tv) and the best part its a RETRO ORANGE color. just like the small TVs im sure many people had when the atari first came out. And the best part for this little extra piece of retro 70s atari history cost me all of $8.50. the same price to buy space invaders , asteroids and pacman (9.97). sometimes the best atari item you can buy to shine your collection isnt always atari . what yall think??

Ze_ro Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 Sorta related... I have (Or rather "used to have", since I'm not sure where it is anymore) a bright orange 8-track player. I don't think I have any actual 8-tracks though. I see them all the time at thrift stores, but never anything good. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
