Some 2600 stuff needed

[godsey1]

Just got some auction winnings, and need a few things to get them complete.

 

Sears joysticks (2 of them, I have the regular short box's with no stick's in them)

 

Indy 500 controllers

 

Gremlins box and instructions

 

Frogger 2 box and instructions

 

Superman bilfold that was bundled with the game

 

Back To School Pak

 

Action Pak

 

Instructions for Sears Super Breakout

 

 

This stuff needs to be in great - mint condition, more to come later

I have some Sears joysticks. I need to confirm that they work properly before I sell them. PM me.

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,

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.

I have a non-working Sears system that has six switches, but I do not think it is a heavy six-switcher. 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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

 

Thanks,

 

Tony
