zylon Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Earlier this week, I had trouble with my main 5200. So I got out my box of backups and the first one I tried wouldn't start so I opened it and found these seemingly factory modifications that I've never seen before. System can be fixed(needs ANTIC chip) and is not a * numbered version. Just thought I'd share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slampam Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Looks like an iffy 400 pokey jammed on a 5200. Did it by chance come in a small "Corp" box? 1985-86 5200s were often leftover non-"*" 4-ports. Rumor has it that Atari "Corp" pulled every scrap out of "Inc's" storage, slapped it together and sold it. pics and explanation in this thread: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/134479-show-us-your-5200-collection/page__st__50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 That one came in a batch of 3 "dead" systems I'd bought for parts. The top on it is so badly warped, carts won't stay in the slot. The bottom on it is the later 2-port style with the extra hole for power socket though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
