actionarcade Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Hi, does anyone have a 5200 Trak Ball box that could scan the front for me? Specifically I am looking to get a high resolution scan of the stylized text "Arcade Action" that appears on the front. If anyone could scan that portion and/or the whole portion with that text and the Centipede arcade machine on the back that would be great! I want to use that text for a project! Here is what the front looks like: http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag160/TrekMD/RVG%20Images/Atari%205200%20Track-Ball_zpswtd2mzhr.jpg Here is the back: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/hardware/atari_5200_trackball_box_1.jpg Thanks!

I'm going to make a large sign with this to go in my arcade room. The 5200 was the first home console I ever owned. I now have the actual arcade machines for all the 5200 games I had when I was a kid. This sign will bring it all together! My username is ArcadeAction on other forums. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionarcade Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks again! I've had this converted to a vector image, and printed it out and put on foam core. Finally, I cut it out with an X Acto knife and mounted it on my arcade wall. It is about 5 feet wide. Pacman was the first game I owned on a home console, and it was for the Atari 5200 system. Each of the arcade ports to the 5200 had the text "Arcade Action" next to them in the original brochure. I now have all the real arcade games of the Atari 5200 games I had as a kid so this is a nice touch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
