Atari Pole Position - A Restoration

[Mr20to5]

Hi everyone.

Thought I would throw out a link to my blog, where I have just started out documenting the restoration of Atari's seminal arcade racer, Pole Position.

Hope you enjoy and get something from it.

Looks really good, great attention to detail.

Like the chrome pedal,I have done a few of these and always painted the pedal black before sticking on the gripper tape, looks much better how you have done it.

 

[Mr20to5]

Thank you. Looking forward to getting stuck into this.

Chrome and coke with a hint of lemon. Never thought it would work so well

Great stuff Neil. You’re doing this cab proud. I think it actually survived well having only been on site in one location for its working life before moving through a few collectors hands.

I’m sure @philmurr will be keen to see the progress you’ve been making.

Looking forward to the story of the PCB!
