Heavy Sixer Serial Number Thread

Recommended Posts

All my Heavy Sixers have label stating "MFG. BY ATARI INC., SUNNYVALE, CA."

 

42919G - A beautiful specimen and personal love affair

83634G - Sound doesn't work properly

58731G - Spare parts only

This one is already on the list, did you get it from someone here?

 

58731G - Spare parts only

 

I believe this marks our first consecutive numbers on the list, although it's brother was a posting from Ebay.

Cool!

 

The odds of that happening are probably astronomical though. Maybe even enough to require a rethink of our current understanding of S/N format.

We've had a few that were close, like 10 apart, but it's cool to actually have consecutive numbers.

Funny how that works out. I feel honored that I actually provided some information of note/worth.

 

Both were eBay purchases, about two years ago. But I would have to assume that it was someone who is on AtariAge. I found some old receipts, and while I don't know for sure which is which, here is the info:

 

eBay ID, Description, Price, Date

ataribill "atari 2600 six switch - sunnyvale like new and games" $42.99 8/1/06

daub3r "Vintage 1977 Atari VCS / Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer system" $20 7/29/06

I can't find the third receipt.

I am now the proud owner of a heavy sixer that was previously owned by "the 5th ghost" who graciously sold it to me. The serial # is already in the master list on the 1st post (s/n: 93499M).

I have some non-heavies that were made in Sunnyvale that I thought were interesting.

 

First is a light sixer unit.

S/N: 88805M

Next must be an early 4-switch system also made in Sunnyvale. The motherboard was rev. 8. Most 4-switch boards I've seen are in the 12-16 range.

S/N: 764647

Just wanted to say that my former Heavy Sixer (#79427M) is actually now owned by the.golden.ax, not AJ Franzman. I was originally going to give it to AJ, but he seems to have gone missing so I had to sell it to someone else. In addition, my old Heavy had a channel select hole, but did NOT have a channel select switch.

Hmm... he hasn't posted since August. I hope he's OK and that he's just taking a bit of a break from AA, something I would recommend to anybody.

Thanks for the update. I'm hope a.j. is ok, we do all need to take a break once in a while.
