darthkur Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The Atari branded model , made in Sunnyvale, CA I posted about a few days ago is fully functional. Thanks again to A.J. Franzman for the info on how to adjust the color output. Serial number of 29438G. It does not possess a slot for the channel 3/4 selector.

Wickeycolumbus Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I got my Heavy sixer today! Serial : 64200N Has Channel A/B hole, but no switch present. Lable sais: MFG. BY ATARI, INC., SUNNYVALE, CA.MODEL NO. CX-2600 ect... The Casing has a mysterious 179 melted into it right above the lable. It looks like it was done by the factory. Unfortunately there is no power supply. there is a driving contorller that came with it that is a standard dirving controller, but the actual socket is not an atari socket, it sais "AMP".

superdevil Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Sunnyvale light sixer here, red power switch and yellow color, left diff, right diff, game select and game reset switches.

A.J. Franzman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sunnyvale light sixer here, red power switch and yellow color, left diff, right diff, game select and game reset switches. Did someone paint those switch levers, or perhaps cover them in colored heat-shrinkable tubing, or replace the switches? AFAIK, before the Jr. models, there were only two visually different styles of front panel switches in the VCS consoles -- the common machined aluminum variety, and the polished chrome ones used in some promotional and factory refurbished consoles. BTW, if anyone has some, I'm seeking 4 of the polished switches: 3 of the 2-position type and 1 of the momentary type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdevil Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Did someone paint those switch levers, or perhaps cover them in colored heat-shrinkable tubing, or replace the switches? Nope, this is the way it looked the day it left K-Mart on Christmas eve 1978. My dad got the "on-floor" display model as all the others were sold out. That and he's pretty cheap, lol. If it's not evident in the pictures (they came out kind of blurry) the only thing altered were the two far right switches, they broke off from years of vigorous "toggling". I never replaced them, I use a paper clip just like I did in 1985. When I was a kid we didn't have fancy things like switches, consarn it!

I should have been more clear in my original post, looking back on it yeah I can understand where you thought I was saying the switches themselves were painted. Nope, just the labels.

neopeius Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Not sure if mine was a Heavy Sixer. I threw it away five years ago when some parts broke. I kick myself now. Maybe from the serial, you folks can help me identify when it was made?

pixelated Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Hi! I'm new here. This is the serial number for my not-so-heavy sixer. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's just a regular sixer. # 81034654 Made by TRW Electronic Components, Taiwan.

bah Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Sunnyvale Heavy S/N 94723M. This unit has the channel switch/hole and has the 7805 voltage regulator screwed to the board, not on a separate heat sink like earlier models. Thanks, BAH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrosport Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) Here is mine: 52875M Sorry about the picture quality but I couldn't figure out how to shut the flash off. I had to mess with the camera lighting options so everything looks blue lol. Edited September 5, 2008 by nitrosport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
