Two-in-the-Belfry Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I was in Manhattan today and stumbled upon a neat little hole-in-the-wall that sells all kinds of retro games and consoles. It had few Atari consoles for sale, including a 6-switch woodgrain that I picked up! The outer casing is kind of cracked, but I think I can replace that (I'm still new to this, so I could be wrong). And of course I got some games to go with my Atari! This is so exciting, I feel like a kid on Christmas! Hopefully I'll order some paddles and more games soon!

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Congratulations on your Atari!! Just unscrew the bottom piece and the motherboard that is screwed on as well and replace it with a bottom shell and screw it back together. Light Sixers are great systems! You will enjoy it. Great to see young ones enjoying and appreciating Atari 2600's and any other retro system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving it so far - sometimes the simpler things in life really are the best How much did you pay for the whole lot? Does it even work? Did you try hooking it up yet? Around $140 for it all. I've hooked it up to the TV in my room and it works great! yeah you'll need paddles for Circus & Breakout ... at some point the paddles will jitter ( scroll down link below when time comes good page to see how to clean 'er up http://atariage.com/forums/topic/184296-slowcoders-guide-to-cleaning-up-your-2600/ them joysticks look newly manufactured & should work great what's the silver writing say down there ?

Two-in-the-Belfry Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's been a few months, so I figured I'll give an update. I ordered a new console bottom and took the broken one off my 2600. The guy who sold me the system said it was "a little cracked", but this looks like more than "a little" to me! It's looking good now, though! I also added some games to my collection (plus a set of paddle controllers and a Track & Field controller not shown here) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
