Title: 1989 Atari hard driving sit down machine for $100.00 Post by: David P on August 15, 2015, 10:03:48 am Hey guys I found a 1989 Atari hard Driving delux sit down model for $100.00 if you can disassemble it and remove it from the upstairs of a garage without wrecking the place. Everything works except force feed back stopped working. Is Atari force feedback something that can be fixed in that game?
Would this be a good buy for my first driving game if I got a few of the boys together to move it? Thanks for your input David Title: Re: 1989 Atari hard driving sit down machine for $100.00 Post by: John's Arcade on August 15, 2015, 10:17:54 am Where are you located? Nice deal. BAD ASS game.

I found this on a quick google search. One of the engineers on the game posted information/schematics. Looks like a good place to start. http://www.jmargolin.com/schem/schems.htm Title: Re: 1989 Atari hard driving sit down machine for $100.00 Post by: David P on August 15, 2015, 02:54:37 pm Hi John I am in Ontario, Canada a long way off but I read it was the first three dimensional driving game Atari made or something like that would this be a fairly valuable game if working in good shape?
Just a little worried if the force feedback is something I could fix myself with some research or not don't want to bbq myself.....

Awesome game though. Title: Re: 1989 Atari hard driving sit down machine for $100.00 Post by: Worm2 on August 17, 2015, 03:07:19 pm For $100,
Worry about the forced feed back, AFTER you have the same. I think once you take it apart to clean & lube. You may find the issue. Even if you have to replace $300 is parts, you still got a great deal. I use to play this game at the Dog Track. For some reason I was allowed to enter. But not bet, so I would ride my bike up and place in their small arcade.

Awesome game though. Yes my other topic is more about the scenario the guy tells me it is about 700 pounds and has to be brought from the upstairs of his garage down without causing damage but he had a lift truck put it upstairs in his garage when they were building the garage..ugggg not sure about this!!!!

Sounds like he is transferring the liability to the $100 mover, lol. Be careful if you decide to get it. Or tell him you'll pay him $200 for it if he can get it moved to the main floor. |
