If it doesn’t, I’ll be happy to repair it for you

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.

@socrates63 -^CrossBow^- does great work 👍 Congrats on your new 5200!

Nice barn find! That looks like an early 1983 El Paso unit, manufactured in January of that year.

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 😉

 

 

Made in Taiwan, serial no. AT 433 0474229.

I don't have a pic yet, but one of my 4 ports is prefixed SV-462. My other one is an AT-223. Both are original stock. I have a third one around somewhere, but I need to dig it out.
