Title: PONG
Post by: mytymaus007 on June 20, 2010, 01:10:17 am

Does anyone know if this is a good buy. Does anyone have an original PONG or worked on them before

No kidding ... $350 for a non-working PP (which presumes the existence of a working PP!) ?

It is opne of the most commonly available cockpits out there because nobody can keep the boards running for long.

Whereas Pong is an awesome game   ::)
Even the cab sucks. Id love to turn a full cab like that PP one into a mame cab

The point is that people can't GIVE PP cockpits away and that Pong is actually still somewhat valuable.

So advising someone to buy a non-working PP cockpit instead of a working Pong at the same price is the thing that deserves  ::) and a  :dizzy: for good measure.

That PONG is the real deal, or it sure looks like it. You could always ask for a close up pic of the PCB just to be certain it's a real Atari board. A PONG clone is worth very little. PP is a nightmare to mame, I'd stay away.
