Hollis116 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Okay so the other day I picked up a atari 5200 at a yard sale. As I was looking at it, it looked different then usual. It looks like it has a 4 port body but it has a 2 port operating system. I was wondering if anyone could help me identify it. And also is it rare. if anyone could help it would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Just looks like a 2 port system in a 4 port case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It looks like it is a standard two port that is missing the front plastic piece. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kensu Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow, I wonder if they used up surplus four-port cases before they started in on the two-port ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell from the pics at 1st, but now that I look again, you're right it looks like the plastic front cover is missing. LCD is too dark, when I brighten the screen up you can see it clearly missing in the 1st pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollis116 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 So does this mean it is nothing special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) So does this mean it is nothing special? That's right. Unfortunately you can't get replacement front pieces either, I contacted Best Electronics about it and they said they've never had those in stock.
