Bucket Brigadier Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Picked up a second heavy sixer as a backup to my primary. Also have some amplifying info for 55274G (which was added to the list years ago): (stole the format from mikey.shake ) Atari “Heavy Sixer” Model – Video Computer System CX-2600 Serial – 55274G Sticker Type – White, single Mfg – Sunnyvale, CA Channel Select Opening – None Channel Select Switch – None Motherboard QC Date – “99 14400107 . #” Lower RF Shielding Stamp – C010315-2 Upper RF Shielding Stamp – CO10313-5X RF Shield Sticker – 99 33900025 Motherboard Rev – Rev 8 (CO10433) Switchboard Rev – Rev 5 (CO10462) Case Molding Number – C010306 7 E Sticker: Bottom of system; note no channel select opening: Close-up of mobo, showing copyright 1977 (bit blurry) 55274G 93822J is the new addition. Casing is excellent, but internally, the system was pretty haggard. I cleaned it up a bit, worked on removing oxidation that had formed on the RF shielding and signal box housing. The game select and game reset switches are still a bit rough in operation, but functional. Atari “Heavy Sixer” Model – Video Computer System CX-2600 Serial – 93822J Sticker Type – White, single Mfg – Sunnyvale, CA Channel Select Opening – Yes Channel Select Switch – None Motherboard QC Date – Not attached Lower RF Shielding Stamp – CO10315-3 Upper RF Shielding Stamp – CO10313-5X RF Shield Sticker – 03300680 66 Motherboard Rev – Rev 8 (CO10438) Switchboard Rev – Rev 5 Sticker: Bottom of system; note opening for the channel select switch was added by this point, but the system itself has no actual channel select switch (system was disassembled when I took this pic): 93822J Edited January 22, 2017 by Bucket Brigadier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I just got it in a 4 system lot that also had a Vader, 4 switch and light 6. Needs a good cleaning before I hookup it up and test everything.

iesposta Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Maybe because there have only been 15 systems added there since it was last updated September 2015? Where is the list in this thread, and is it newer than September 2015? If this list is "dead" there is no harm in cross posting the same data in the current official thread.

Buyatari Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Picked up a boxed heavy sixer. The serial number is 66228E The controllers look original (hex are missing) but the power supply looks different as it lacks the black sticker. Is this a replacement power supply? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Can't believe I've had my Heavy Sixer for, I think, 5 years now, and I'm just now getting around to joining this thread! Found mine at a nearby thrift store for $60 or so; no RF box but it did include the original grey power supply and "clicky" joysticks, though the hexagonal stickers (?) were missing.

sys700 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) Stopped by a pawn shop yesterday looking for vintage music gear, and was just about to leave when my eye landed on an old 2600 system. I realized it wasn't just any system. I've been looking for a heavy sixer for as long as I can remember but this was the first time I set eyes on one. They were asking $60 but talked them down to $50 with 10 games and 2 joysticks and original grey power adaptor. Pretty clean condition, and from what I can tell, the second oldest serial number in the registry: 59081E. There was also a small white price sticker floating around in the bottom of the unit: #117224. Edited August 8, 2017 by sys700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
