Looking for ATARI Speakers
« on: February 14, 2014, 02:45:48 PM »
Hi Guys,

Would need such ATARI Speaker for my next restauration project - please look at the attached photos. It should have 8 Ohms and 10 Watts.

Thanks in advance

You could use a car speaker at the same size.

those two screws next to the speaker don't look original - and repros aren't original either. so an identical car speaker is nothing else than a repro :P

Mehhh, I love the three-way JBLs in my SW Cockpit. They are insanely much better than the original "multi-cone" speakers.....no-one can see them, but HEAR them all that much more :)

Oh and a tip.....IIIRC the size of speakers is measured diagonally.

I just checked the other items that guy is stelling:

Wow, interesting coin door (well I mean the Atari/Bertolini sticker) never seen that before...

http://www.ebay.de/itm/ATARI-Asteroids-2-Slot-Coin-Door-Kassentur-mit-Munzprufer-Arcade-Automat-/390773083369?pt=Automaten&hash=item5afbe40ce9

It is also weird that it has a black ring, aluminum door and black coin-mech bezels....never saw that combo before either.....looks pretty nice actually :)


No intention of de-railing the thread ! :)

About that speaker: Atari just bought a speaker that was available, they didn't actually make speakers.....chances on finding exactly the same one ore extremely slim -> get a replacement that looks a lot like the original.

Judging by your pics, it looks like it is a 4" speaker (again, you have to measure speakers diagonally between the mounting holes).

Here's one from Suzo: http://eu.suzohapp.com/product/22-0143/shielded-full-range-speaker-10cm-%284%22%29

Looks like it has a nice big magnet on it which is (sometimes) an indication for quality and it is also shielded which is nice.

If you want to help me please don`t post endless alternate products....

i have only asked if anyone has the original speakers - no more, no less.

@Ully:  these screws are original screws used in many ATARI Cabinets - read the manual and you see these are the wright ones.

uh, alex, careful with your words, people are only trying to help you here and show you (better) alternatives in case you can't find the original speakers. i'm pretty sure some people might be offended by what you wrote and might think "good luck for finding those speakers, sucker!" :P

hrhrhr.
i must admit i felt uncomfortable reading alex reply. it can not all be because of the language barrier lately. i do understand that somebody wants to find original parts though i would not mind propper replacement when it comes down to invisible things like speakers... but i would be happy for any help i can get. it might not be the thing i was hoping and looking for... but you'll never know if it might help you some day.
