Hey Guys, New to the Forum here and need a bit of help.
Just purchased an old Atari VCS/2600 for £55 (With LOTS of games included and 2 original Joysticks) and trying to find out how old it is, I know it is a HONG KONG produced model but from research I have done it seems to have the original "Heavy Sixer" Motherboard.
These are the details contained on the sticker on the base of the system:
Manufactured by Atari-Wong LTD.
In Hong Kong
Model No. CX-2600 U
Covered by U.S. Patents 3,793,483;
3,900,886; 3,723,652; 3,728,480; RE 28507;
RE 28598; D 254,544 & Patents Pending
S.N. 548338413
Description of System itself:
6 switch version with Orange piping around switches
Woodgrain style finish on front
A/B Channel Select Opening but NO Switch
Numbers 331 physically branded/stamped into base
If anyone can help me age this system it would be of great help.
Many Thanks in advance
