Atari 2600 trackball in box.

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I don't know how many of you have heard of American Science & Surplus. Great place for the odd and obscure. Well, it seems they have a couple of Atari 2600 trackball controllers NIB for $9.50. I just recently got into the collecting scene, and thought I'd pass this one along.

p.s. I would like to personally thank you all for this ever-growing addiction! :D

heheh, I used to date a girl who was from chicago, and she took me to their retail store. It is one of the coolest places as they have stuff you have probably never seen, or will see again. I bought some really wierd junk at that place, including a pair of glow in the dark Ghostbusters sunglasses.

Sir, I highly recommend the TrakBALL controller. I have customized a few of my own, Sir.

I don't know if these guys still print a catalog, but I used to love getting them. Their item descriptions were always worth a chuckle.

I still get the catalog about every other month or so. Hilarious reading!

Example: "We don't know what this was used for. Maybe it was used to spy on the Germans during World War II, or maybe it was used as a means of finding gold in the desert. Or maybe it was just used as a doorstop. Think of what YOU can do with it!"
