The Atari 800 Tester


 
 


 

        This rather large and cumbersome box came out of the Atari corporate headquarters in Sunnyvale, California.   It was used in what Atari used to call the "Shake & Bake" department.   Quality Assurance engineers would put Atari products through their paces to ensure that they meet FCC standards and Atari standards for operation and performace.   This unit measured the audio/video signals from the Atari 800 Computer System.
