Yeah that appears to be the original one and very cool, but yeah I was going to recommend using an alliterative power supply like the Genny Model 1 or or something exactly-similar.
thanks for the pic even though most everything is written in Japaneses I can tell what the input voltage (100VAC) and output voltage (10VDC) and that the center tip is negative there is also the Amp rating (860mA)
 
heres a pic of a couple OEM Sega power supplies:

Both input is 120VAC the output is different one each of them,  (9VDC & 10VDC), both center tip negative and the amp rating is 1.2A (or1200mA) so they will "handle the load"
this thing in the yellow box may work as well:

it is rated at 850mA as well
 

I keep asking myself this same question !

When I was 8 or 9 there was no Internet.

I busted out laughing at "Lets go balls to the walls"
the Pong battery eliminators output 6V DC  .... a single battery is 1.5V time four = 6V
you Atari adapter may damage it as you suspect
great find and thanks for sharing a good couple games ... that last one was close !!!!

That's the beauty of the Squad Challenges. you start off kinda ~meh~ then you improve develop a few tricks & share with the group.
PPii does have a brake that can be useful 😉 it was also the pack-in game that came with the 7800 system so your experience will be like "back-in-the-day"
Congrats
I do have a dupe "Food Fight" some clear tape on the label that make it look a bit rough, shoot me a PM if interested

I finally got my 7800 today. It's a bit disappointing that it only came with Pole Position II because they said they'd put a few games with it, but I don't really mind. I like PP2 quite a bit. I wish I had Food Fight though.
I also like the ProLine controllers. I tested them with a few games. It worked good with PP2 and Pac-Man, but not so good with Defender and Tunnel Runner.

Ow hand cramp!

Yeah the cart I'm using was designed originally to hold a 2600 system and games below it. But since mine is missing the front piece to the lid, it works quite well for housing my 5200. These were taken over 4 years ago, but it still sits in this same cart in the same corner of the game room when not in use. I do have a dust cover on it now though so the lid doesn't just sit ontop of console directly anymore.

 

lol @ ""PainLine controllers"" if you hold it with the stick vertical like the cx-10/cx-40 Atari sticks then yeah incredible pain in your wrists working the buttons with a thumb and another finger.
If you have the stick horizontal your hand is in a more natural position and much less pain.
There is also the "phelonic ball mod" that shortens the stick so there is less leverage being forced upon the hand holding the controller.
While searching for a system. make sure it includes a working power supply as it's has an odd proprietary connector.
 

I haven't had the need to completely take apart my Coleco Combat. but I did successfully remove the handles by heating them up with a hair dryer and a LOT of even pressure ( I think I just used the thumb knuckles as fulcrum ) spade connectors for the buttons
I am not sure how the spring mechanisms work
A great game with another player all hunched-up next to one another. I think game #4 is the robot controlled black tank.
You just have to stay out of "The Abyss" which is is beyond the border down bottom where no matter what you do you can't drive out of there.
My now 13 yr old nephew likes to hit the reset button before I reach the game winning shot. but if HE is about to acheive the game winning shot we sort of wrestle for the button.

I opened mine up to take a peek and I don't envy you at all.
I do have some switch blades that may work out for you but will have to be worked.
The hole spacing me be an issue on the longer blades I have. some info can be found here http://www.planetarypinball.com/reference/partsmanuals/WMS_Parts_1974-1975/index.html#/50/
if interested for the parts shoot me a PM & I'll toss 'em in an envelope for ya's
 

I edited above post striking out a line, games 2 & 3 are actually "single player games"
I will still keep my eye out for the proper blades.

took this pic awhile ago ...figgered it'd make good wall paper every once inawhile they will fall off the little ledger I have there
I look for 'em at thrifts open 'em up the instructions usually have a parts list so I'll take the time too see if it's complete I try and find stuff from the earliest patent of the game (like first editions I guess) ... IMHO ... if it looks old its pretty cool ... my family doesn't alway agree ... I still haven't played my 1934 Monopoly yet ;"(
for family gatherings I usually take 4 or 5 games with me. they also have favorites of their own. some winners I brought were "The Amazing Race", "Score Four", "Trouble", "Dynamite Shack" ... they always have a "scabble-off" "Settlers of Catan" ( or just Catan ) is wildly popular
the card games like D&D ain't my thing
I would like to learn how to play "Go" I have one with the stones & all .... one of these days I guess

You could first super glue them bits in to get the "D" back then fill outer cavities with hot-melt glue (or play-doh or epoxy

First Congrats to @Scott Stilphen I tried all the extended day & couldn't even reach my previous score & then he sand-bagged in one more to top his own .... nicly done :D
@RickR - Jr posted a score as well putting squad players up to 13 for this challenge and was also good to have Ms. @greenween along as well
Get well ... don't really wanna ask what happened -BUT- you always tell a great story 🙂
Try it with the trak-ball ... I haven't tried "the paddle" mod yet but prolly make SB5200 much more enjoyable
Most importantly ..... what is that console is that real wood ?

HAHA not this time. Stupidity this time. cracked the inner joint to my right thumb.

I completely agree! I found myself most often playing at night, on a 1990's Sony Trinitron that is great for playing these games on original hardware. There's something about the warm glow of the phosphorescence of the screen and the scan-lines, the ball leaves a trail behind it in the dark like a shooting star. It's most noticeable when playing in the dark. That trail really helps point the direction of the ball and where to catch it.

Wow you really got the jitter ouuta them paddles -or- is that score WITH the jitter :P
Is that a real nintendo TV ? oh nvm I see the Sony label Trinitron I'd imagine 😉

From what I recall , the ball in the beginning is always blue & the captive balls are always brown even in MULTIBALL !!!
To bad you can't shoot jackpots :P

1964
New personal best I suppose, I started screwing up by looking at my score during play 🙄 .... just hitting one point blocks at the time made it even worse

 
I was inspired by trying to break the 2k mark ..... great score @greenween
