eegad Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 My first Atari (and the one I play semi-regularly) is a light sixer. Got it July 1980. It has speaker slots, has channel select switch. My question is in regards to the sticker on the bottom with a serial number. Mine has none. I don't mean that it has fallen off through the years. I *KNOW* for a fact that it never had one. Yes, I'm anal - I keep all boxes, instruction manuals, etc; and have always kept my things fairly clean & complete. This unit never had a sticker on the bottom. (a few years later, I won a heavy sixer from a friend on a bet - yes, that one has a sticker w/serial on the bottom). Anything known about a batch of light sixers without serials? Or maybe they got stickers for the first year or so, and then they stopped doing that? Just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eegad Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Just had my original light sixer's box out yesterday. My light six never had a sticker on the bottom of the unit. It was purchased June of 1980. The box has a small green sticker on it that says "T 208030". I assume that's the serial #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a silver sticker with the number in a black border if so then I would probably say yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian R. Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) My light sixer: Atari NTSC SN 81699959 Mfg for Atari by Dimerco Electronics in Taiwan. It has that big red service sticker on the bottom. This was the one I was given in the mid 90s that got me back into Atari and started my "adult" collection. (The one my family had when I was a kid was long gone, given up for a Colecovision - yeah, what were we thinking?! ) It works very well, of course. Edited October 12, 2010 by Brian R.
