[Crazymoon67]

Congrats on your H6'er G code its most likely mfg in October of 77 mine is and its a G also the guy at the thrift store where i bought mine had 2 of them the other was an H code and in worse condition so for 50 bucks he was nice enough to let me choose between them but he had no idea on what a heavy 6 was so only after I bought it and came back to find he sold the other one did i tell him that those were the more sought after first edition models lol good luck with it.

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.

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.

I dont think the other thread is being maintained either so i will leave mine here. Thanks for letting me know.

[+iesposta]

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.

The person who maintains those spreadsheets on Post #1 over there last visited AtariAge February 14, 2017.

Any interest in 4-switcher serials? I don't know, I'm new to this, so I Just thought I'd ask lol

[cobra429]

Just got my 3rd one in the mail. its serial number 33439H with no opening for a channel selector. Pretty mint for the age

[Buyatari]

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?

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.

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.
