2600 Pics and More Pics of random junk

[ussexplorer]

This is some pics of stuff around the house. Mostly in the basement. Yes a little dusty. But still off the floor and dry. The sears video arcade was modded for better joystick connectors, the end had a RF end tabed to it instead of rca to switch box. Plus a few other mods. Getto 80's hack I guess. The sega cd blue box is a backup / next system. I purchased the box, sega, and sega cd, with sonic cd in the box for like $8.00. There is more stuff in other boxes all put away. Since I really don't own the house. I have been cleaning, collecting, and sorting. I have a cabinet full of games / stuff that I need to go trhough and get listed on this board when I'm ready to box, tape and ship. LOL.

 

I know people post pictures and they bring back memories. So here is some. Don't judge me for having most of the stuff in the basement. That holder you see the sega cd and SNES in was upstairs. But I have been in the middle of a painting project. So most of that stuff I have turned on and tested and cleaned every once in a while.

That's a naked Atari 2600, one of the "sixer" models.

Yea, The one with a bad cap and bad picture when playing a game. As for stupid question is it a heavy sixer? I think it is. has the speaker holes but from my understanding. That does not really mean anything. Also mfg by atari in sunnyville. But from my undestanding. That could be a farse too.

Which capacitor is bad? And what's the bad picture look like? I like repairing them. Do you still have the case for it?

[ussexplorer]

I can't remeber. LOL. I just rembering turning it on and looking bad. That is was not the RF box. So I opened it up and found the bad cap. I'll fix it probably. Just not on a major todo list. IN fact I took it apart to double check that this out of the few atari's I have. was the one with a bad cap. IT is.

That board set looks to me like it came out of a heavy six. The voltage regulator is heat-sinked, the chanel select swicth is absent and the ribbon wire connecting the two boards is the original style. The big cap (the blue one) doesn't look original to me, it appears to have been replaced at some point. It should have a thick/curved bottom half like the sears unit, that's definitely heavy-sixer .

The console shown from the back, with a hand holding it up is a heavy sixer. I don't see the same one in any other picture, except possibly the naked boardset could belong to that same console.

[ussexplorer]

The hand holding up is a sears arcade game. From my understand allt he sears was heavy sixer. As for the other one with the guts. There is no channel selector switch and yes, there is a sticker on the bottom of that unit saying repaired by authorized atari repair service. idaho falls, id. So it is possible they replaced a cap then. Who knows. Becuase I thought the caps was full size not a small srimp version. Amazing the little things I don't think of. Like the channel 2 to 3 Switch.

I don't know which photo you're looking at, but the one I referred to is definitely the back of a heavy sixer, not a 7800:

No, Sears branded consoles include Heavy Sixer, Light Sixer, and 4-switch Woody Sears Video Arcade versions (as well as the Sears Video Arcade II). Also, that electrolytic power filter cap in the second photo in post #1 looks like one of the original styles, so I don't know what you think of as "full size". Some were slightly longer than this one but I wouldn't call it a shrimp. Edited June 18, 2007 by A.J. Franzman

As for the one with the hand facing the back. It is a sears tele arcade or whatever it was. From atari. Atari with sears. Go figure.

The picture with the Sega CD blue box: above the box there´s a bigger one with a cable hanging out, what it´s supposed to be? LOL

Well I'm sure you know that is a box of Cat3 cable I use for phone only. However, I noticed a few more items in the pic.

 

Below the sega cd box is the box for the atari flashback 1. Then next to it is a Sega Ver 1 game/Console holder in box. THen you see the wooden smoked glass case. That has Intellivision games in it. Basicly mint do to the cover with instructions and inserts. I found it that way. Then the lexmark printer box contains intellivision games in with there boxes, interts and manauls. So I have a small meger intellivision collection going. Oh and a sh*t load of dust. lol I guess I collect that too.
