ufcfan76 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Got this lot from a guy on Craigslist today. I am really happy with it for 25 bucks. All the manuals and catalogs were a nice bonus as they weren't even in the guy's pics. No controllers came with, but oh well. What do you guys/gals think? Ok deal? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think you scored pretty good on the lot. That is a nice looking 4 switch woody. I love the 2 game cases for storing your loose carts. Got some good common games plus the instruction manual for the system and all the games, and even the 2600 catalog. You made out great! Just get some joystick and paddle controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I like the yellow game case, let me know if you want to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get some joystick and paddle controllers. I actually got a couple sticks and a set of paddles a while back in a lot on ebay (along with a standard 7800 stick and some third party "quick shot" stick). I guess I am doing things a bit ass backwards since I've gotten into collecting Atari. First I got a 7800 by itself, then I av modded it and bought a bunch of 2600 and 7800 games. Once I started playing those, I found myself really wanting an original 2600 woody even though my 7800 plays the 2600 games just fine. Guess I got bit by the bug, huh? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not alone wnd nothing wrong with that as well as many others here. I have a 7800, 2 5200 systems (2 port and 4 port), and several 2600 systems (VCS Heavy Sixer, Sears Tele Games Heavy Sixer, Light Sixer, 4 switch woody, Vader, and a Junior). Many of us collect for the systems and the 2600 is one of my favorite systems of all time I just had to get all the systems. All I don't have is a Sears Light Sixer, 4 switch, and Video Arcade 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KreatorKat Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 There is a reason to own a 2600 over a 7800 for us pixel perfectionists. The 2600 has an RGB mod, and the 7800 doesn't (only S video). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Well, I'm jealous. Great pick-up! People want a fortune for those binders alone on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 That's a great deal! Nice set of games, system, and love the cases, too. I've seen the brown one before, but it was pretty beat up. Great starter set + some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KreatorKat Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The 7800 doesn't appear to be getting an RGB mod anytime soon due to lack of interest from the community .... So this is why the 2600 is a necessity to RGB enthusiests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 There are a few binders like the brown one on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I have a couple of brown binders myself, but have never seen the yellow one. Very nice pickup. Ah yes...the bug. I picked up my first 5200 (a 2-port) a couple of months back and now I'm anxiously waiting for my 4-port to arrive. You know you have it bad, when you start collecting for the 5200. Can I get an Amen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slakteren Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Great labels! I've never seen Activision labels that look that pristine in the wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arenafoot Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Got this lot from a guy on Craigslist today. I am really happy with it for 25 bucks. All the manuals and catalogs were a nice bonus as they weren't even in the guy's pics. No controllers came with, but oh well. What do you guys/gals think? Ok deal? Sweet deal! I've never seen that yellow case. I own a couple of rarely seen Atari video game cart cases myself. And its not the other one you have - mine have the huge fuji logo on the cover.......... I still don't know exactly what cart they hold - the slots are much taller than a 2600/7800 cart, but they barely fit in width. And the Atari home computer carts don't fit, and I think its not big enough for a 5200 cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ufcfan76 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 I really like those cases, Arenafoot. The big fuji logo looks freakin' awesome on the cover. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
