I will not post my story before Bruno and Chris has posted theirs, as they has the most interesting trip of all!!! :spaceace:

But i will post this.... who would have thought this would happen after 20 years on a boat with no heat???!!!
You're right!, the game doesn't work! - though, a swap with a working PCB and it´s there...!!!

Uh ? The preview pic shows it working but the video not ?

That sound near the PS doesn't sound right ! It also doesn't look like an original Atari Power Brick ?

Hehe, i know, it was on purpose  ;D
There´s definitely something wrong with the PS!, shouldent make that sound! - and i have never seen a power brick like that, looks like an update of the one in my Centipede....:

Heres the one in the MC:


And here´s a pic of the ARII PCB.... it´s fricking new!!!!!!


Sorry for the shitty quality, but i forgot my camera in DK when i moved here  >:( >:( >:(

It´s all in the video, but it´s not working.
Though, there´s light in diode on the main PCB, and there´s neck glow..... but the game dosent start.

That is the point, a spare cab is always nice from a classic like Missile Command. ;)

It was so cool to see you again, buddy!
You've been super helpful and I still owe you for the bacon and eggs sandwiches  :P

Damn that Missile Command is such a great catch.
The insides from most of the games from that bulk buys are really super clean... but more on that very soon  ;) ;)
