All-new cool

[Brian R.]

This covers multiple Atari systems, so I guess this is the place to put it...

 

I've finally done it. I have the Atari trio, all brand-new, thanks to Best Electronics and maybe some extravagant spending on my part.

 

Atari 2600 - I have a new four toggle and a new junior that I bought in 1998.

 

Atari 5200 - I have a new two-port, consisting of a new motherboard dropped into a case I found in a trash can, but looks pretty good. Just got it recently.

 

Atari 7800 - I have a new motherboard inside what looks and feels to me like a new case. Arrived this past week.

 

I know some of you are lucky enough to still have the consoles you bought new back in the day. This is a little different. I find it very cool to be getting this stuff new 20 or more years after its time, given that it's not exactly in great supply or in stock at your local WalMart.

 

Also have a Lynx II and a Jaguar and Jag CD that I bought new after their production lives.
