atari-dna Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Scored a complete in box unit recently, no battery damage. Pics of console (and hopefully video) will be coming once I clean it up and test it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Nice! The Pro-Am Ten is my favorite Atari Pong console. I've got a boxed one but no manual. I like how Atari advertised "Basketball" (aka Handball with the wall dialed down) as a distinct game variation on the box, and that 4 players constitutes a separate game.It's interesting to me how Atari released so many Super Pong consoles with different combinations of features:Super Pong - 4 games (5 if you count Basketball/Solitaire), 2 playersSuper Pong Ten - same games as Super Pong, 4 playersSuper Pong Pro-Am - same games as Super Pong, 2 players, skill switchSuper Pong Pro-Am Ten - Super Pong Ten + Super Pong Pro-Am 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Here is a PDF of the manual and the registration card Thank you very much for posting that! I've been looking for a scan of this manual for a long time (I think I even posted a topic here once asking about it...no dice, obviously). It looks like Atari used the same manual for the both the Pro-Am and the Pro-Am Ten. Never knew that. IIRC they did that with the Ultra Pong and Ultra Pong Doubles as well (which I believe are actually the same exact console with a different box and different number of paddles included, but that's another topic). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pleasure, glad to share. Thanks for the insights on the similarities of the Pro-Am and Ultra / Doubles documentation. I have an Ultra Pong Doubles, and would be happy to provide images of that and the manual- which I could post in a new thread. It would be fun to compare and contrast.
