Would someone please try to order replacement parts from the Pong Manual’s backcover, & post the responses from Atari’s representatives.

Remember when I was just a little kid, playing with this pong machine whenever I would go to my dad’s house. That was some cool sh*t at the time.

I have the original game, manual in tact in the box. I might have to break it out and play it.

I have one that my uncle gave me when I was 7. He has always been cutting edge with the toys.
If you were a real jedi master, you could play pong against yourself, without it connected to the TV. The sound effects come from the unit, and the TV is just the display.
Mine is still intact.
