Atari (1976)

click to enlarge

Owned Since: February 2003

Condition When Bought: Near mint. Atari licensed Break out to Cherry Företagen for the European market, which is the reason for the obscure wall cabinet model. It uses the exact same Player 1 and Player 2 buttons and PCB as the U.S. upright cabinet. Still uses the original coin mech for Swedish currency.

Bought From: Mats Lönnborg (Sweden)

Improvements Made:
  • Bought a step-up transformer from Radio Shack to make the game playable here in the US.

To-Do List: Nothing at this time.

First Played: Never played the game in the arcades, but did play it as an Atari 2600 in the early eighties.

Status: Near mint condition. 100% original and working.
