dphirschler Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thanks to my good friend Robert, I was able to obtain and scan an original 1977 Atari 2600 owner's manual. This is the one that originally shipped with the heavy sixer and has no mention of a channel selector switch. It was in pretty rough shape. There was writing on one page and I think somebody used it as a coaster at one point. So I had to do some restoration work. Here are some raw scans (reduced) to show what I had to work with. For some strange reason, this particular manual was not available online anywhere! So here it is now for all to enjoy!

Torr Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 ...and I think somebody used it as a coaster at one point. My childhood in a nutshell. I couldn't leave a comic book, instruction manual, drawing, piece of homework, etc... basically anything flat and paper; lying around unattended or it would be used as a coaster immediately by one of my parents or their friends. God damn them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeguychicago Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Is that some weird variant of an M Network game getting inserted into the console on the illustration for section 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
