Still shocked the caps didn't fix it. Darryl

When you do another run, I would like a set. Darryl

I forgot the sixers have the two extra screws on the bottom. They are all fours. I wonder why only one of them has the channel selector slot. The switch is on the back, right? I would guess there is nothing through that slot. Darryl

Search in this forum for Atari 2600 tuneup. There is info there... although the guy is no longer selling kits, you can find them on Ebay and other sites. Or you can just get the parts yourself. Darryl

I just heard from Brad at Best Electronics. He has the 12 pin mylar cable in stock for $8.95. Mine is not the mylar style. But you may be in luck. Darryl

Hey Brian. Pin 8 wasn't working on mine and I discovered it was the ribbon cable. No need to jumper. Just a thought. You might be able to remove that jumper if you also have a bent pin. Something to check anyway. Darryl

None of those are heavies. I'd guess that the one with the channel selector on the bottom is a light sixer. The others are four switchers. Just different board designs. Darryl

"Sparkles" is usually a symptom of needing to replace the green chicklet caps. Darryl

I'd like to get more details on how you did the orange paint around the bezel. Can you explain the process? Darryl

I have a spare I'll send you for the cost of the envelope + stamp. I happen to have a mostly stripped board with that part still on it. So just to be clear, it's not a new part, but it doesn't appear to be "leaking" either. Darryl

Well? What's your impression after two months? Darryl

Yes, the generics are much smaller. However, I think I found it at jameco (and on ebay). https://www.jameco.com/z/THM-6038-Aavid-Thermalloy-TO-220-No-Hole-Heat-Sink-With-Latch_2155348.html Darryl

My H6 has L6 internals... for now. Darryl

I am in need of a heatsink for my Heavy Sixer. Can anyone help? Does Best Electronics carry it? Darryl

Here is my beautiful Heavy Sixer: NTSC/PAL/Sears/Special: NTSC Serial # (Ex: #54035V or #007649): none (sticker removed) MFG Location (Sunnyvale, Taiwan): ? (Owner/AA Member), (Location= City, State, Country): Kennesaw, GA, USA A/B Channel Slot (Yes/No): Yes A/B Channel Switch (Yes/No): Yes* Functional (Yes/No): Yes Notes (Previous owner, display only, white sticker, parts fixed, green connector, Switchboard/Motherboard Revision #): Bought as non-working from Ebay. There is no serial sticker, nor is there a date taped to the metal box inside. The switchboard is the same as found in a light sixer. The board inside the metal box has the rainbow colored wires connecting it to the switchboard. This indicates to me that it is either refurbished or built during the transition to light sixer. I would love more info on this. There is evidence it was opened at one point. The date paper usually taped to the metal box was missing. And two screws were missing from the metal box. As a side note, I just bought H6 internals which I plan to restore and put in my H6. It's been stripped of its switches and the heatsink. I have the replacement switched (from Best Electronics), but not the heatsink. Any tips would be appreciated. I'll update this post after I get the new internals installed in the H6. Refurbished (Silver Label) (Yes/No): ? (sticker missing) IF REFURBISHED: Refurbished Serial # (Ex:#171267):

Interesting. You got no replies to this topic here, but a load of replies/support on the FB group. Darryl

If Atari made the cutout for channel A/B, then why wouldn't you believe any heavies have the channel switch on their boards? I say this because mine has the channel switch. In fact, mine has several things which you flag as NON-heavy. But it also has things that you flag as heavy. For instance: - My two spring switches also have "wings" - My board has the Atari logo on it (C012173 rev.1), but not the "Innovative Leisure" slogan. - The Atari logo ® symbol is not high, but my switch bezel has the beveled narrow openings. - The RF connection is on the main switchboard, not the perpendicular RF daughterboard. Sadly, I do not have the serial sticker nor the one taped to the metal box inside. Darryl

I totally disagree. I love my beige consoles! Superior power switch, easier to care for. Man, the black/silver ones are pretty, but they are SO easy to scratch and dent the metal. Darryl

Also (assuming you haven't already done the mod), check this thread. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/228592-beige-console-power-led-mod/?hl=+led%20+mod It's a beige console, but the power supplies are the same. Pretty good pics in the thread. Darryl

Super easy to replace. I'd say the main thing to look out for is leave the leads long enough to you can bend it just right. Darryl

Is there a reason we don't have Hopper and Moonmine source on the first post? Hopper source code.pdf Moonmine source code.pdf Darryl

Love mine too. I use it almost every day for the weekly High Score showdown on the FB group. Just checked out Draconian on the Harmony and it's awesome. Harmony is the MUST HAVE cart for Atari 2600. Darryl

Put me down for 10 clear. If you do translucent colors, then I'd like some variety. Smoke, clear, read, blue, green, orange... etc. Darryl

Well I'll be! How could I have missed that? Darryl

The game is so good as it is. I feel guilty even asking for a feature. I would just like your previous score to stay on screen longer, so I have time to take a picture. Darryl
