way too detailed, but.... variations in simulated woodgrain?

[brett6400]

i haven't really checked, but does the simulated woodgrain on the 2600 have variations? if so, does anyone collect the variations?

say it aint so, say it aint so.......

 

Somewhere a very bored and lonely someone is hard at work making a wood variation ranking rarity list...

I know this much: I have Atari 4 and 6 switch systems, same basic woodgrain. However, I also have a Sears telegames system, and it's woodgrain is different from the Atari ones.

Say, that is pretty cool! I just checked my two 6 switchces and they have different grains...... but I wonder how many variations there are ...??

 

And what the meaning of this is in the big picture of life....

When I mentioned the Sears Telegames unit having different grain, I mean it is signifacntly different. The VCS's pictured above, while having different grain, look like they could be from the same "tree". My (and probably all) Sears units look like they are made from different "wood".

 

I have no way of getting photos online, but here are some from this very site:

Please note the smaller, darker grain. Like rosewood, perhaps. THAT, is what i was speaking of. Sure the various VCS systems may have different patterens, but all the same kind of wood. These ones are different!
