Trade-N-Games Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Well took me about 15 years to get this all done. Outbid on Ebay a few times and so on. I got the display that was for sale a few weeks ago from another Atariage member. Fun road trip about 6 hours each way. It was in nice condition but i had my own plans for it. The display i just got did not have the built in brain. I was lucky enough to have one in perfect working order just waiting for my very own Kiosk. I also had a new in box main control panel i had got off Ebay more than a few years ago. So today i set out buffing out all the Plexi Glass and cleaning it up super good. It was unassembled when i got it. Well it was all there and with my new control panel and cleaning it up it came out amazing! I am more than super happy to have this in my collection. I found the perfect TV for it! Its the Nintendo Sharp set up with a NES built into it. It was a perfect fit and it was nice to get the TV out of storage and have it out on display as well. <a href="http://s249.beta.pho...179437.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i249.photobuc...zps57179437.jpg" border="0" alt="Vintage Atari 2600 display photo 20130127_161941_zps57179437.jpg"/></a> <a href="http://s249.beta.pho...5d284a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i249.photobuc...zpse75d284a.jpg" border="0" alt="Atari 2600 display photo 20130127_161958_zpse75d284a.jpg"/></a> Edited January 27, 2013 by Trade-N-Games 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Man, I'd love to have one of those!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 That looks sooo cool! One of my cousins had one of those NES Sharp TVs in the early 90s. Played many hours on that back in the day...Those are wayy cool. My only gripe with your set-up is personally I would've used a much more vintage TV set like something along the lines of a late 70s/early 80s type Zenith tube TV with the woodgrain panels to give it more of a retro effect. Other than that you did a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Yurkie Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Sweet set-up! I agree with the comment above about using an older model TV. Something with the UHF and VHF dial tuners would be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Awesome job! Though, it looks like whoever owns that room has a bit of a problem...getting a little tight in there. LET IT GO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aamp Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Looks awesome! Love the built-in controls and showcase doors. I found the perfect TV for it! Its the Nintendo Sharp set up with a NES built into it. It was a perfect fit and it was nice to get the TV out of storage and have it out on display as well. I just seen this prior on YouTube today. Never heard of it til now but if you're considering swapping it out, instead of putting it back in storage, you could donate it to me Edited January 30, 2013 by Aamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Glad you were able to add this to your collection after all this time! Also, kudos on the fixing up and parts added. Very eye-catching! :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwackery Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ah, I dream about having one of these. I have fond memories of my younger days and playing on the POP displays in the department stores. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
