Well some people save the strangest things. This is probably one of the first coin operated Atari Pong video games. It was used in a video arcade in Santa Clara, California. It has been in a friends garage for many years. There were still some quarters that dated from the 1960's in the coin box. Our best estimate is that this was from the 1970's. The game was wired into this wine barrel. The game actually works!!! The game is being sold as is and is a piece of video game history. The top has damage from some type of liquid. One of the knobs is loose, but this could easily be refurbished. Probably belongs in a video game museum. Additional photos on request. Item is in South San Francisco near the SF airport. Buyer must pick-up or arrange for shipping. Personal check OK, money order OK, no Paypal.

Feb 18,2005 We are going to try and get an estimate from MailBoxes Etc to pack and ship and will try to get that added to the description by Monday. They are not cheap and with the weight of the barrel it will probably be $200 +, my guess. Seller is willing to transport the barrel to a MailBoxes Etc for shipping and delivery which will be paid for by the Buyer.

UPS is quoting $150-$200 to ship if the item is already crated. Mailboxes Etc wanted $500 or so to package this up plus shipping. I am sure someone else can package cheaper, I don't know who that would be. This item is working and we do not wish to get involved with a problem with our crating and it showing up and not working. So we will hold the item for 30 days, maybe more to give the buyer the opportunity to arrange shipping if you are not local. We will transport locally to a shipper for packaging. We will not package the item. So local pickup or buyer to arrange for shipping still holds. Sorry.
