2600 VCS "light sixer" refurbished

[sukotsu9]

I purchased this off eBay in July from someone (fellow AAger?) who put a lot of love into refurbishing it. I'd never seen a system so clean, and I won the auction. An impulse purchase, my better half has warned me that two Ataris (plus SNES, N64, Gameboys, etc.) is at least 1 too many, but I just can't get rid of my original '82 four-er. So, I thought I'd post on Atari Age before I auction at eBay. I'm no "collector", so PM me for any clarification of contents & condition.

 

Atari CX-2600, "light-sixer", serial number #81281181, ca.1978

Condition: very good (refurbished inside & out), R/F cable has been replaced

Box condition: fair (wear from shipping, some water damage); serial # matches

Contents: VCS, original AC adaptor, 2 joysticks (refurbished), 1 pair paddles (cleaned), Combat cartridge

Bonus: '82 Atari catalogue (good), Combat manual (yellowed with age)

Not-so-bonus: R/F switch, which has not aged well (sketchy picture requires wire fiddling). I recommend an R/F to coax connector (but I need mine for the other Atari)

 

I'm asking $30 (plus exact shipping, probably ~$13), payment by PayPal. I'll ship via USPS to the contiguous 48 states and bill only for what shipping costs (I hate getting ripped for more than it costs). I'm willing to consider other offers, and if you're local to the San Francisco Bay area, pickup can be arranged. PM me with any questions or offers; more picts available by request. I'll be out of town for a few days, and probably will eBay this unit next weekend if nobody here wants it first. Thanks folks.

Wow!! That is a great deal. Too bad about what you asked me about earlier. I think I would have went for this instead.

Bump. Just wondering if there's any last minute interest before I rev up the auction machine. If price is an issue, let me know; I'll take less from you guys than eBay!

 

Of course, if it doesn't sell, I just tell the Mrs. "hey, who'd want a 30 year old video game system but me?!" and keep it. heh.
