Atari testing station for sale on eBay
Yesterday I talked about a couple auctions of interest on eBay, multiple listings of NOS arcade artwork and that Adidas Tron jacket. Today it’s an original Atari test station that techs used to troubleshoot and repair game boards. Scott Evans is selling the item for $2,000, one of several pieces I am sure he has in storage from when he cleaned out the remnants of Atari.
New NOS artwork from QuarterArcade warehouse raid last year
QuarterArcade.com always has the goods. Last year Anthony uncovered a warehouse of games that most of us would have doubted still existed. In that warehouse were 40+ pinballs and 65+ arcade games, plus a ton of NOS artwork that sold for big bucks on eBay. Well, turns out there was a box of that NOS artwork leftover and Anthony listed it on eBay this week.
Tron jacket on eBay
You never know what will show up on ebay. This week it was a Tron jacket made by Adidas that ended up selling for $152.01! Crazy.
Tehkan licensed Mr. Do! and Ladybug from Universal
I finally got a break in trying to find out more information about these non original arcade cabinets with the weird artwork.
