My pleasure, glad to share. Thanks for the insights on the similarities of the Pro-Am and Ultra / Doubles documentation. I have an Ultra Pong Doubles, and would be happy to provide images of that and the manual- which I could post in a new thread. It would be fun to compare and contrast.

Hat tips to Jblenkle and NorthCoast Gamer. Those scores are absolutely S I C K That's a lot of happy rescued miners, and lots of dead bats!

I've got a console and 2 controllers (verified working) that you could buy. Send me a PM if interested

The 5200 is NTSC only, I have a console available. Send a PM if interested.

Here is a PDF of the manual and the registration card Super Pong Pro-Am Ten.pdf

Almost the rest of the 5200 lineup, need to get 1 more photo into the lineup. Two other consoles don't have serial stickers remaining, both just normal 2 ports. AT 193 0026168 4-port Matte finish AT 303 0059096 2-port AT 333 0332471 2-port AT*223 0257318 4-port matte AT*303 0238502 4-port matte

The red cable is stock, it replaced the green / white. Just gently form the pins straight again (needle nose pliers work great for this) and re-insert it in the plug on the switchboard

I've documented all my 5200 consoles now, so figured I'd post them. Trying to do this systematically, so I'll do the SV units first, lowest serial (already posted) to the highest. Then the EP units and the AT last. Is AT for Atari Tipperary? I know they had a plant in Ireland, though it could be Taiwan as well. It's interesting that the controllers I have accumulated over the years, I've seen molds for USA, Taiwan and Mexico. Nothing in Ireland, presumably AT is Taiwan then. 2nd S-V unit (Sunnyvale?)

No love for Checkered Flag though. No one likes that game.

Here is what the unit and box look like, haven't played it yet

My fault! I meant Iron Soldier

Hoping those new chips got fresh sockets, don't want to have to do any more desoldering than necessary

Alright, I'll be in Athens about 75 miles away from Marietta down Rt 316. If there's time I'll try & make it happen

I have an Indy 500 with the same type of packaging with that hang tab:

Weird stuff. Notice no serial numbers or game titles on the spines, just "Video Game Program". Do the carts have colored end labels?

No matter, it's on the calendar. And the Jag is getting some love. Glad to see Ferg remembered Flip Out too. There were some really neat under-appreciated titles; and then there was Checkered Flag and I-War. Yikes.

Awaiting your thoughts on Flip-Out, a charming game my wife and I discovered in the late 90s. It's quite addictive, with whimsical elements that complement it's puzzle mechanics.

Zylon, if you're anywhere near Clarke County I'll be "back home" visiting in Mid-September. Buy you a beer and discuss video games, perhaps?

Yep, much lower. But not older, I guess. If the WW/Y convention is accurate, this was assembled in the 2nd week of '83? I guess they set the serial number counters back to Zero after the New Year? The PCB is a Rev6 CO18085, ©1982 which is the first version of the PCB This is a glossy 4-port
