Wester Posted October 21, 2006 Author Share Posted October 21, 2006 I don't plan on taking any off, I may however mark them as no longer owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaGtGruff Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I don't plan on taking any off, I may however mark them as no longer owned. If one was sold, then it's still owned, hence "new owner" might be better than "no longer owned"? MR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Username Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) #C020383 Q Whatever the long space and the Q is for is beyond me. Has an orange "Refurbished by Authorized Retailer" sticker on it. It won't let me make that long of a space but the space on the Atari is about 2" long. Has small slits on the left and right sides. Large rubber feat. Big thick RF Cable. Edited October 31, 2006 by A_Username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Any chance of getting apic of that sticker and console? Doesn't seem like the serial # is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 Posted another Sears H6er. Came with a box, manual, 2 CX-10's, two sets of "Sears" paddles, and a Gatefold Blackjack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I got 3 around but 2 have been put away. I will post sn# when I find them. The one I have out has SN# of 0030500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 Any chance of getting a pic of that S/N sticker and unit? I like to get pics of the ones that don't fit the normal S/N pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yeah. I didn't notice until a while ago that my serial number was one digit longer than the rest. Mine does not have a channel select switch either. I can take it apart for the board rev later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 That sticker says its made in Taiwan . Are you sure it's a Heavy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Yes it is defiantly a heavy console. Very thick bottom shell, front bottom part is curved not straight, and has RF plate inside that looks like it belonged to a tank. Attached is a large 5mpix image of the console, you can verify the serial number and that it is a heavy console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I got it opened, the paper attached to the main board's RF shield reads Jul 19 1978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzumaki Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) I got the board out of the RF and I noticed the socket for the 3 chips are blue. I have NEVER seen blue socket before. Also the cable that connects to the switch board is 3 sets of 4 conductor cable, each wire feels like 16 or 18 gauge solid wire. Behind the cart slot, 1977 is on the board (not silkscreen) and on the other side of the board there are "REV B" and "CO10433" Nothing to tell me the country of origin.

NorbytheRobot Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 A Sunnyvale heavy-sixer: S.N. 73643F A Sears heavy-sixer: 82074216 True story: My mother sent me the Atari heavy-sixer from a garage sale or some such. It came with a nice original joystick and Combat and Video Olympics in the original gate fold boxes, along with all the cords, all in really nice condition. When I called her to thank her for it I told her it was great, the only way it could have been better if it had been in the original box. She then told me she had thrown away the original box to pack it in something smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is a most bizarre beast! July of 1978 would probably make it one of the last heavies made, but a Rev. B (very early) motherboard? Maybe it needed service before it was a year old and the date slip was replaced? And what is the deal with those blue sockets? (BTW, the ribbon cable you described is common and can be found with different wire colors in groups of 4 just like you show). Edited November 10, 2006 by A.J.

Uzumaki Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 The console may have been serviced and had its part swapped but the ribbon cable were different in the other 2 heavy consoles I took apart. The other 2 were flat single ribbon cable with probably 30 gauge wires. One version the cable were soldered at both end. Other version the socket were on the switch board and wires plugged straight into it (no pin connector) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wester Posted November 11, 2006 Author Share Posted November 11, 2006 Uzumaki: Thanks for all the info looks like your unit was possibly made only 4 days after Prodos8's unit, and the S/N are only 740 apart!

Now that I look at it, it is a Taiwan Sixer, thought I had taken it apart and saw the big aluminum shield, but I could be mistaken. -Billy Edited November 11, 2006 by NorbytheRobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wester Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 Yep, unfortunately it's a light sixer. I'm envious of the 2003 AA Christmas cart though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
