ApolloBoy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 when it says company in twain, does that mean its made there? if so it was made in twain Yes, if it says "Made in Taiwan", then it was actually manufactured in Taiwan. I highly doubt Mark Twain was making 2600 consoles well into his 140s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That boggles my mind that they planned stereo when the games themselves aren't exactly in stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 The stereo is definitely there, though. I did the A/V mod, and some games are enhanced a bit by stereo... even if it is primitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havok69 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Throw me on the list - Atari NTSC manufactured by Dimerco Electronics in Taiwan, serial # 81183073.

kb9snl Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 This may sound like a dumb question, but what is the purpose of this list? And if people get rid of their units for any reason, do they contact the list owner and tell them? Phil True, they may not contact, but it is a good way to get a feel for at least some of what's out there, and with enough participation, you could actually eventually get a good feel for how many of them still exist, or at least how many are out there at this moment in time. Granted, only enthusiasts will likely add theirs, but still...oh well! Mine, which has been through a hard life (rescued from the landfill, literally), doesn't have the serial number tag, but it did have the internal piece of paper inside on the mainboard with the number "99 14300026" on it, does have the A/B Channel select switch on it, and has the speaker slots in the top. Had it since 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicgamingguy Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Atari Light Sixer Manufactured for Atari, Inc. TRW Electronic Components Company in Taiwan Model No. CX-2600 SN 393804 It has the slits for speakers (left and right on the top) Left and Right Difficulty Strange, though: It has two philips screws on the bottom with washers. Is that common for the light sixer? -Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixitguy74 Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) Atari-Wong LTD. in Hong Kong #568198282 Has speaker vents A/B channel select on bottom @ Classicgamingguy Mine also has the screws with washers on the bottom. They probably hold the circuit board in place, but I don't know for sure since I have never had mine appart.

A.J. Franzman Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Strange, though: It has two philips screws on the bottom with washers. Is that common for the light sixer? Not strange at all; it's perfectly normal for all six-switchers. Those two screws hold the shielding (and thus both circuit boards) in place in the case bottom. Those two screws do NOT need to be removed to open the case. If you need access to the motherboard, open the case first THEN remove the screws with the washers to remove the circuit board assembly.
