Here's the deal with this very fashionable old-school console:

A few years ago, we were contracted to assist in the production of NEW Atari 7800 units. They were to be emblazoned with Nolan Bushnell's signature, a large Atari logo on the front of the case, and "Signature Series" over on the right.

Unfortunately, this project never entered production, and very few of these 7800's were built. In fact, the 7800 pictured in this auction has one of the pre-production plastic housings, with the guts of a production 7800 unit inside. While new 7800 motherboards were designed (by us!) for this new product, very few of these motherboards exist, and only one board was ever populated.

Look, you have less than 2 days to snag this piece of obsessive collecting history. Auction price at time of publish was $560 so sell that kidney if you have to and get bidding! Michael McWhertor
