Game Story
Craig’s List Find
I am a huge Atari fan. Fast Freddie was not a common title. I found one on Craig’s List for a good price. It was listed as working.
I pulled it out of a NJ basement and loaded it on the truck. It appears to be a Euro Cab, smaller version of the US Upright. Made in Ireland.
The Monitor worked but the Flyback was cracked and arcing. We replaced the Flyback and sold it.
