Manufacturer description
Please see the pictures for details. Tested, and everything works. You will need to buy a converter if using modern TVs. What is shown in pictures is included. No manuals but the exact things that came in this box back in the 80s are included. The controller's top rubber piece does show wear from age as it no longer fits perfectly on top of the controller, but it is the original. This has no reproduction pieces or broken parts on the console.

Atari's retro consoles lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
