godsey1 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Can anyone tell me if the joy sticks that came with the Sears 2600 system was any different than the Atari version? On the box's, they look alike. Thanks for any help, Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Franzman Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) Can anyone tell me if the joy sticks that came with the Sears 2600 system was any different than the Atari version? On the box's, they look alike. The only ones that were different were the original 1977 issue sticks that came with the "Heavy Sixer" style Atari VCS and Sears Video Arcade consoles. These are the spring-loaded sticks with the metal "hex discs" on top of the sticks. The only difference is that the Sears hex discs say "SEARS" instead of "ATARI". These Sears sticks are also quite rare, and somewhat expensive. Edited August 21, 2007 by A.J. Franzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct to guess that Sears made other systems after the heavy six-switcher? If so, were those joysticks any different from the Atari joysticks? The joysticks I got with the Sears system say atari on the cord where it plugs into the system. I also got two Gemsticks joysticks with it.

Sears-branded 2600 clone styles included Heavy Sixer, Light Sixer, 4-switch Woody and the Sears Video Arcade II (Atari 2800 clone; the Atari 2800 was released only in Japan). After the Heavy Sixers, Sears system joysticks were identical to the Atari ones. Gemsticks were aftermarket and not included with consoles.

godsey1 Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Here's are some picture's of the box's that I need the sticks for: So should the joystick's have Sears on them, or will they have Atari? Thanks again. Tony Edited August 23, 2007 by godsey1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdum Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) I do not have the boxes, but here are some pictures of what I received with my Sears system, as well as a couple pictures of the system. These joysticks should work with the Sears system, as well as the atari 2600A. Although they are compatible, my guess is that the joysticks that Sears sold probably did not actually have the atari symbol on them. But, I don't really know. They may have. Here are the pics I have: Edited August 23, 2007 by purdum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a Sears Heavy Sixer, and I believe the joysticks that came with the Sears systems did have the Atari "Fuji" logo on their plugs. BTW, it would be better to have photos that are in focus, even if they're less close-up. Edited August 24, 2007 by A.J. Franzman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godsey1 Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Still looking for the stuff listed above. I have gotten a few from people on here. Here is the last red Atari boxed games that I need: BMX Airmaster (this one will probably have to wait) Crossbow Donkey Kong Junior Double Dunk Off The Wall Q*bert (only sealed for this one) Radar Lock RealSports Boxing Secret Quest Sentinel Sprintmaster Xenophobe Yars' Revenge I would prefer these sealed, but mint and complete will do.
