Heavy Sixer Serial Number Thread


Wester

Recommended Posts

I have 2 heavy sixers and will get the serial numbers when I get home.

 

The reason I am writing now is because one of them I have opened and tried (unsuccessfully) to repair.

 

That one has the Lot # and date you were speaking of earlier.

 

It says:

 

LOT #3

 

2/14/78

 

I will get the serial number when I get home.

The reason I know the date is it is also my birthday.

My 7th birthday to be exact.

 

My poor sick heavy sixer with my birthday... :sad:

Never mind. The label says it was made in Taiwan.

Pay no attention to where the label says it was made. The real difference between the heavy and light sixers is the shape (and weight) of the case casting. The term "Sunnyvale edition" used on the AA consoles page is incorrect and misleading. Scroll up to post #123 to see what a heavy sixer case looks like - notice the side top edges (wide moldings), lower front edge (wide molding slightly curved), and lower front corners (molding has large radius ending nearly vertical).

 

Is yours the same?

Apparently 2600land doesn't see well and has poor reading comprehension. ;)

I can see fine, I just can't take good pictures. As for my reading comprehension, I'm new here. I know you put a smilie on there, but I just wanted to clear that up. :)

Your picture is quite good enough to see the differences between your console and the one shown in the post I referred to and which I described in detail. Besides, if it's your console, you don't have to refer to your picture - you can compare your console to the pictures in the other post.

 

Thanks, anyway.

Nice! I'd love to see a photo of those joysticks. ;)

 

Where there any Sears game catalogs with it?

Hi, I'm new here and just picked up a completely sealed 6-switch, from what I'm reading here it most likely is a heavy sixer. It's got 1977 on the front of the carton, all '77's were heavy sixers right? I see no S/N on the box like my 4-switch carton.

 

Thanks!
