  Looks like I’m in the club in a big way. I just made a deal for a Middle Earth, an Airborne Avengers, a Space Riders, an Atarians, a Middle Earth playfield, and a few boxes of Atari parts. And I already had an Airborne Avengers. Only one of them is working, so I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’ll share more in a few weeks after I’m able to assess everything.

  Should be easy enough to pop the coin door open and see if the other two flippers were ever mounted. But that start button is fascinating..... I can't even see any evidence it was ever on the cabinet. Did Atari have full-on coin doors for anything prior to Atarians? All the 1976 and prior arcade games I'm looking at just had the smaller coin mech mounting plates.

  Last year I BARELY missed an Atarians deal at a local vintage shop going out of business for $40. Still miffed at that one but what can you do. A few years ago a 4x4 sat on e-bay for a LONG time, which IIRC included a 2nd populated playfield. Always wondered where that one went. -Hans

  When Atarians is first booted, the coin lockout coil pulls in after a few seconds & the lights sequence on the playfield. That leads me to believe that the processor is running. As I said previously, if anyone has interest, I will go back & investigate further.

  Can you still buy those? If so, from where? Flippers.com is listing them. Used, $25 each. Those Ledex motors are the originals installed in Time 2000, The Atarians, Airborne Avenger. Those Ledex motors have a poor reputation however and where replaced many times with the traditional style flipper mechs which came with Atari's Middle Earth, Space Riders and Superman (Gen2).
