4 switch woody CX-2600 S built in Sunnyvale

[Avenger75]

I have been to a cash conversion store specialized in gaming today. They have lot of old gaming machine.

I was surprised to find a 4 switch woody atari 2600 covered of dust inside the store. It was a loose console with no joystick nor power supply.

I have looked at the bottom of the VCS (I live in France) and discovered the serial number was saying it was a CX-2600 S (so secam VCS) and that it was built in Sunnyvale !

I knew a few 4 switch woody 2600 for promotion purpose built in Sunnyvale  existed, and there is a few post about them.

But for me, most of the 4 switch woody console were made in Hong Kong and especially the first Secam machines.

I have negotiated the price (as the 2600 was not tested) and bring it back to home.

After testing it is indeed a Secam 2600, with a ugly RF output image,  from chanel 5/6 with many parasite in the image.

Have someone already seen other case of Secam 4 switch woody built in Sunnyvale ?

After cleaning the entire PCB and connector with alcool, and switch to chanel 3  I have now a very nice image from the RF output :

 

 

 

 

The image with the score having different color is typical of a Secam output.

Looking at the switch bezel's border, it is yellow, instead of the orange color i have on my heavy sixer and my light sixer.

 

Anyway I'm still surprised to find among the 4 switcher with a "Sunnyvale" sticker a CX-2600 S Secam...
