Original Pong Arcade Machine Sighted on eBay

Got some money to blow? Then why not try and win this original Pong machine that’s currently listed on eBay? Despite being made in 1973, the machine looks to be in great condition with only some minor bumps and such. It’s even got the “Syzygy” name on it, before it was changed to the more infamous “Atari.” Currently, the highest bid is a little over $200, but it’s still got over a week to go before the auction closes. Frankly, anything below $1,000 seems a steal for this piece of gaming history.
I’ve owned some classic arcade games in the past, at one time there were 5 in my living room and a pin-ball in the dining-room. Under 1000$ would be a regular price, but I could see a couple of collectors getting into a bidding war and making the price jump considerably higher. Be sure to post the winning bid.
