Atari 2400? First time I ever saw one of those . . . I think there's a proto by that designation, but it was a system with built-in paddles and didn't look much like a VCS. Also certain that it didn't have a box.

 

As for the other one, it was one of the first four-switchers made, using leftover parts from the US-built 6-switch systems. There should be a mention of them on the "Systems" section of the site.

Could the 2400 unit be for the Japanese market?

It's a misprint. They've been on ebay before, last one was sort of shady looking, bad pics, unclear shots of numbers & the previous owners had drawn over the numbers to make it look more like a 6, so it was hard to say whether it was real or not. But some other people mentioned owning/seeing before, just a rarer printing mistake of a box.

You're thinking of 2800.

Does the Vader have 2600 or 2400 on the front of the unit? I can't tell from your pic.

The system itself said 2600 on it. . .

 

What I was curious about is the picture of the system on the box? Does it also say 2400? Looks like it does.

The 2400 was sold by IRWIN Electronics in Canada, its just a 6 switch 2600 with a box that says 2400. You can tell by the box that they just put 2400 in front of the 2600 on the box, the 2400 is darker than the 2600. ill get more pics up of the box. thats why im wondering if that vader was made in the US.

Well take a look here "This looks similar to a standard CX2600A model, with a few minor differences. The piping around the switches is yellow instead of orange, and these models were manufactured in Sunnyvale as indicated on the underside of the unit. The box that these came in looks like a normal box except it has "Not for Resale, For promotional Purposes Only" stamped on the underside. We're not sure if there are any technical differences to the console, or if it was just an early edition of the new style for retailers to distribute in advance of sales."

 

As said in the hardware link for 2600

[Cootster]

Pretty sure ALL Vaders were manufactured in Asia . . .

Well here are the pics of the box... take a look where they just pasted the logo 2400... and the IRWIN logo to. Also i have not revived a stright answer, are the 2 systems above made in the US?

another and again sorry for big pics.
