I’ve been meaning to post mine for a long time. I have 6 or 7 units now, and I’ve restored and resold a few over the years. I’ll get those posted at some point. 
 

This one, I received a few years ago in a CL pickup in my area. It currently boots up to a black screen,  but it’s slated for a RAM replacement soon! Other than that, it’s in fine cosmetic condition. Serial 0004611, made sometime between August 30 to September 5, 1982.

My 5200 arrived yesterday. It was rebuilt and restored by @-^CrossBow^- and you can read about what he did here. I am very happy to have bought the console from an AtariAge user because of the love and care and craftsmanship that went into the restoration. It's a 4 port UAV modded 5200 and looks and works great.

This is the Frankentari - it's a 4-port shell with a 2-port motherboard in it.  Got it as a freebie a little over a year ago along with a few cartridges.  Haven't powered it up yet so have no idea if it's working or not, and need to find an RF cable and a couple of controllers to go with it.  Might open it up tomorrow and see if it was a POKEY organ donor ?

Got three recently. The third was mostly for the games and was untested, but seems to work pretty well. Will need to do some cleaning, after I repair the joysticks ?️ and swap out the tin flex circuits with gold-plated variants so they'll last longer than three weeks without the need to redo contact cleaner and all the fun involving popping off the top button chassis and re-affixing it ? ...   (Two worked almost completely out of the box, much to my pleasant surprise... except for the start button, odd, that... :lol: )
