Trinity

Missile Command, Someone has to save us from Iran. Asteroids, Been done b4, but still always good.

First one I found on a quick search. And "brand new" too.

Here you go. http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-CHARGER-ADAPTER-...Q2em118Q2el1247

That's real cool! I was in Mc'D's all the time back then, But I'm sad to say I can't remember that contest. Asteroids and Missile Command and Centipede are my most favorite games of all time!

Was browsing ebay and I found another 2600 just like mine. Here is what the seller says, "original sunnyvale cx-2600a 4 switch atari cx-2600 4 switch woodgrain system 100% refurbished and works like new. this 4 switch system was manufactured in sunnyvale california. original manufacturer identification attached to bottom of system, #932509 this is a rare find and in great shape. in reserching this system i find only a couple of the 4 switch sunnyvale promotional systems available with the promo only stamp, which would have been for promotional giveaways, mcdonalds having one of the biggest promotional giveaways in the early 80s. with very little known of the 4 switch sunnyvale for retail sales? well they had them, and we have one here. with no promo only stamp! reading through atari age posts and other sites this system is something to be had and a very hard to find model. great looking system with a super clear picture and great sound." "reading through atari age posts and other sites this system is something to be had and a very hard to find model."... So maybe I did not get a "Frankenstein job" after all. Wonder if he read this thread. http://cgi.ebay.com/ATARI-2600-SUNNYVALE-4...1QQcmdZViewItem

"Looks like it has a number hot stamped above the label on the back like my Sunnyvale non-promo unit." Yeah it does, But I can't make the number out for sure. (it is smeared), I think 166, or 188.

Hmmm, speakers... I'm glad they never did that. "Frankenstein" job"...:/ It could be,,, The thing is so clean that there is no dust ANYWHERE on it. I was really suprised to get such a clean one. I'm thinking on opening it up to see if it is as clean on the inside as out. (will post pic's, if I do).

Good points! But the paint is definitely yellow. Here is another picture with the old "dead" one on sitting on top to compare. The paint around the edge of the old on is almost gone... lol, but it is orange as well as the switches. My new odd one is not. And the switches on the back protrude further out on the back on my new one.

I recently bought a 2600 off of ebay and when I was checking it out I noticed some differences. So I started googling around and ended up here. This unit is in a very clean and awesome shape! But here are the differences compared to my old,,, dead (rip) 2600A four switch. It has the yellow colored paint on the front. It has a hole for a channel switch on the bottom, no switch inside though. It has holes for making adjustments on the bottom. Sticker on the bottom says made in Sunnyvale, CA. It also has two round vents or something on the top. What are these for? They were not on my other one. And it has this "port/door" on the back of the unit covered with a thick tape cover. Never seen this before, Any ideas what it could be for? I would guess that it was a promo for sure, except it is not branded on the bottom as such. So what do you guy's think, Promo version or not? Any guess on the year it was made?
