2600 Carry case

Yep, I remember making this correlation as a child. In my mind at the time, there were sort of like two 'eras' separated by just a couple years - Woodgrain systems went along with the earlier-style carts like these:

....And a bit later came the system with the glossy black front, the 'Vader', that I associated with the silver/rainbow stripe carts:

It seems like this style came a bit later, never had many of these as a kid:

I think of the red carts as Junior carts:

I just (re)learned of this 'Junior' yesterday, heh. I might have seen ONE back in the day at a friend's house, but I do have foggy memories of seeing rows of them on clearance at KB Toys for, I believe, $9.99. :P

It kind of looks like a proto-7800.

 

Trying to decide which system I want to start out with. I've received offers for most of 'em, so it's just a matter of making a decision.....

I love this case. I might eventually need one.

 

I prefer the one that we had back then, though...ours looked basically like a turntable set-up, smoked plexiglass and all. 8)

One small downside? It only held maybe a dozen games. The others stayed in a lidded shoebox.

 

Did it look like this? I keep controllers and power supplies in this one. I also came across a much slimmer variant of this. Looked nice, but not as much room to store things.

I have one. There seem to be obvious perfect spots for for:

 

Atari 2600 console

2 joysticks

2 paddle controllers

12 cartridges

 

So, where does a power supply go in this thing?

 

Check this out - no space for it:

Or is there?!?!?!?

I never had the manual. Is that where it is really designed to go?

 

Thanks!
