I've been using our quarantine time to better organize my stuff. I have a few boxes of stuff I haven't opened in over 20 years. Was pleasantly surprised to find this heavy sixer in one of the boxes. I probably didn't know what a heavy sixer was when I packed it! I'm a little confused because this one says it was manufactured in El Paso but I thought the heavy sixers came from Sunnyvale.

 

CX22 is a Trak-Ball, not a Heavy Sixer console

Hmmm, I didn't even notice that. I took a picture of both a trackball and my heavy sixer lol.

Here's my heavy sixer picture...

 

 

This serial number isn't anywhere near as impressive lol

[Two-in-the-Belfry]

Is this thread still being updated?

 

Either way, here's my serial number.

[ThatAtomCat]

This is my Heavy Sixer'S serial number.

I recently acquired this Heavy Sixer from a co-worker. He told me that he found this 'old Atari system from the 70's, is it worth anything?' I asked him if it had six switches on the top. He brought it in and sure enough, it is a Heavy Sixer. No channel selection switch hole in the case.

 

[TapperP]

Here's mine, SN 24009K, just got it today. Very nice condition, works great, just need to be clean it a bit.

 

I do have an opening marked channel select in the bottom case, but there is no channel select switch.

Decio,

Nice to see you finally signed up here. Long time since we have talked.  Hope you and the family are well,

Does not look like this is being updated anymore. But here's my Sears Tele-Games Heavy Sixer SN. Funny as the first two digits were my house number as a kid, and the next three digits are my current house number! I am assuming the "S" is for Satan.

Today, I picked up my very first heavy sixer from its original owner. It was bundled with a bunch of cartridges and several controllers.

 

SN: 95654M

 

 

[ianoid]

I have two Heavy 6ers to add. One has a torn serial and I would open it up to guesses as to that missing number.

 

75?20G This one has the weird feature of having a hold drilled in the lid right over the TIA. It came from someone who supposedly worked at Atari. The unit seems otherwise unremarkable.

I have the Taiwan-built Heavy Sixer that my family received at Christmas 1980.  My mother still had it up to this year, but she passed away quite recently and my two younger brothers were OK for me to take and keep it.  It's in great shape and I finally got the proper RF-to-coax connector to test it today.  It seems to be working perfectly well, along with most of the controllers.  Some of the many joysticks we had assembled are not working very well at this point (probably cracked switch plunger or maybe the contacts are worn or corroded).  

 

Serial Number T 0037469.  Channel selection switch on the bottom (quite hard to reach, I must say).

 

[Hannes.e]

Have bought a unit that I presume is a PAL heavy sixer.

It came with a swedish language manual, a 220v power adapter, and original box (but I have no way to know if these parts where originally sold together)

The front is that of a heavy sixer.

 

Is there a way to know the manufacturing date ?

[ApolloBoy]

@Hannes.e Your image link is completely broken.

[Avenger75]

I already post it in the other thread, that is like this one never updated.

Here is my heavy sixer, fully working with serial number  71799F.

I modded it with composite output, as no NTSC tv using old RF output are available in Europe,  and I'm very happy of the result.

 

[DidSomeoneSayAtari?]

My First Heavy Sixer, a Taiwan version.  T0025694 The original owner used it for a few years then put it in a closet for over three decades. The switches slide like smooth glass and the picture is incredible. The joysticks need a little love but the wood front is in great shape. 

[Tojified]

Picked up a 50275G at the flea market.

[JJohnson]

I have a Sears Telegames: SN 55207T

I have a non-working one at my parents' house, and an Atari Jr in the car.

[The Strangest]

Looks like the Heavy Sixer I picked up is one of the Taiwan models. How exactly do they differ from the full Sunnyvale models?
