Apparently the GXP is getting some updated electronic gauges, much nicer than the original Atari ones. The J-body.org page linked in the other thread talks about it briefly, IIRC.

EDIT: Or maybe it was somebody on the thread?

LOL. There is a post in the other thread about them, as I thought:

However, in all fairness, there was never any definitive information given about them. Maybe someone will post that definitive info in this thread, which makes this thread actually worth something unlike the other "repost" ones. :drink:

why have to search through older posts when you can just as easily post a new thread and have someone else do the search for you?

Yep that is the Atari 5200 guages, the 08 GT guages were the Atari 2600 ones. ;)

We'll see if anyone gets my references, previous owners perhaps. :D

You're absolutely right! There should only be one, comprehensive thread in the GXP section and nothing else. :rolleyes:

Pong, anyone?

Atari, controls made for righties, unlike everything from Nintendo, Sony, Sega, and even Bill Gates since. Think about which side of the controller teh buttons are on. And yet we still cannot get a keyboard with an ENTER key on the left.
