Atari Pong Coffee Table

[SeikoKid]

I saw one at the EAG but looking on pinside they’ve been around for 5 years

Can’t see without deep search anyone properly selling these in the UK that isn’t a site i’ve never heard of

Would be interested in used too
If anyone knows any more info ?

Thanks

I think Pinball Heaven had these for sale when they first appeared but obviously dropped since.

Cant remember !

They are great fun to play and were a good deal on the original Kickstarter at $900.
Missed out on that, I have seen them for sale for £3000-£5000 since then (new)

that’s probably at the “games room” where money is no object and the games hardly ever get used

No mate - they were really costly.

They came over via a pinball manufacturer when PH had them.

Was offered one at cost but it was too much.

Also that was PRE COVID.

Love mine , had this for longer than any game or pinball I have ever owned
Got the two funky Atari stools as well
That go with it.
It’s such a cool thing
Good luck with your hunt for one

I read a lot of the thread on pinside where main board and amp issues are rife with screeching and game issues and expensive board repairs - Anything you had go wrong with it ?

No nothing it’s been absolutely solid as a rock
The audio is incredible and it doubles as a Bluetooth speaker , it’s never missed a beat and it’s built like a tank.

A new ‘pay once on entry’ arcade in Plymouth has one (Continue). Played for the first time on weekend. Not sure if it was just this model but felt a bit sluggish. You’d move the dial then the block would react slightly after. Looked ace though and if smoother, I’d love one too

@SeikoKid - the first ones had issues and then they got sorted out apparantly.

The ones in the UK are all second run.

You know where one is - if @Will2.0 has had it years then anyone who knows him will tell you how rare it is that he keeps something for longer than a year (I can talk...... pot/kettle/black - are we still allowed to say that?).
