I am sure most people will read this overe at atariage, but Ill add it here too
Hey guys, I picked up a large lot of atari 5200 stuff recently... it has 7 PROTOS, and 1 I think is a proto....
It also came with 2 power supplies... one is the normal 5200 one... it says Atari and has AC/DC on it and on the back it is made in korea....
On my other one it only has the Atari Sybol and ATARI written on the front in silver, and the back has
ATARI INC.
SUNNVALE, CA
and then list the specifics.... Model NO CO 14319.....
It also has a smaller plug that goes into the wall socket, it looks like it is older than the other due too its prong size, it is one size and isnt bigger towards the ends.
Is this a RARE Power Supply??? I also couldnt seem to get it to work on my 5200??? But it is neat.
On the Protos, there is nothing too intresting...
5 of them are a LOANER CARTRIDGE's (here is a short description)
1) Vanguard with 3-25 written on white lable
2) Kangaroo with 021-01 written on whitle lable, also that lable is on top of another that had writing.
3) Tennis EPROM Cartridge <-- that is typed on white lable also there is a red dot sticker on the Loaner Cartridge lable (also the lable was not put on smmothly on this cart )
4) Baseball (I am fairly sure it is Real Sports but looked different on the tittle screen, it didnt say anything about voice on it) 4/8 written on the white lable, and there is another white lable underneat the Loaner Cartridge lable.
5) Pole Position 097 <---- Typed on white lable
FOR THE OTHER 3 PROTOS....
6) No lable , only has a white sticker lable with QIX EPPROM Cartridge 11/Nov/82 typed on it (also like all the other carts there is no screw in it on the back)
7) game program TM lable <--- (on top Atari Symbol, and ATARI on Bottom) White lable has Space Dungeon 1-20-83 written on it. (also the lable is peeling in one corner a little bit.
the one I am iffy on to as if it is a Proto....
Joust in a Missle Command Cart, there is a long white sticker with joust written on it, it does have the screwon the back of the cart...
Should I take it apart???? could that help me find out if it is a proto???
I tested all of them they all work, I haven really looked for differences yet, I will later
I just wanted opinions on the PS and the Joust Proto feel free to ask about others...
Can some one shoot me to a link to where I can host pics to put on here
Thanks,
Kris
Oh, also there was a track ball in the lot for the 5200 that had some stuff scratched into it on the bottom ---> PILOT 179
1 more thing, if you are intrested in some of this stuff I will sell a few Protos to make some cash back
