want a atari 2600

[tobrown]

Hi- If any one got original heavy sixer atari 2600 to sell let me know.

Thank you

[Atari-Jess]

But is it specifically the heavy sixer, or just any 6 switch atari you're after?

 

Some people assume the six switch atari is also the heavy sixer, which is actually not true. the heavy sixer, is a six switch that was manufactured most likely in sunnyvale.

 

you said original, but I take this to mean the original atari having 6 switches, unlike the 4 switch.

 

I only ask this cause you haven't received any replies, and if you're just looking for A atari 2600 6 switch, and don't know why you haven't seen replies (outside of potential PMs) I had to ask this question to sort it out.

yes, whet he said...

 

I have a couple, one is a six switch, and one (I believe) is a 4 switch - this one is boxed, I also have juniors that I modded with RCA...

 

as I'm not that familier with atari 2600's (yet) I would not be sure what to offer you...

is this a 'heavey sixer'?

 

[shadow460]

That looks more like a light sixer to me. I usually look at the front corners when I see the unit pictured.

I've never actaully seen a heavy sixer in the silicon, though.

Light Sixer.

Light Sixer.

Yup. From that view, easiest way to tell is by the borders at the left and right sides - the heavy sixer's borders are much wider.

I have many different consoles, when i buy for my collection I am forced to buy an entire lot for 1 game I need sometimes. Thats left me with many doubles and consoles. i have 4 rooms full of Atari and other classic games but mostly 2600 stuff. Heres a pic of a Boxed system I have available, make me an offer. I also have others and loose 6ers. I test anything i pass onto others, i dont need that headache. Boxed system goes for much more than loose. I am not going to give stuff away so make real offer if interested. These collectibles go up in value so if youre looking to resell, im not your guy but if you are looking for a quality item that i tested for fair value, than i am. Goodluck and let me know any questions you may have. Everything here comes with except any games in pic. Game can be added if you need some as I have thouand of doubles and triples of mostly common but some rarer ones are around. Ciao

Nice system, looks like original driving controllers and one of the 3 original power supply variations, but later paddle controllers. The one stick that we can see is turned just exactly wrong to easily tell if it's a CX-10, and the photo is just out of focus enough that it's hard to tell if it has the indentation in the rubber boot, but it looks like the fire button sticks up pretty far so I will guess it probably is an original. Only the very edge of the other stick's base is visible, so no clues on that one. Also, the box does not appear to be an original heavy sixer box.

No indentation on the Controllers. You mean the Hex ones? No they are not them if thats what you are asking. I understand What a Heavy Sixer is and know the difference between 6 switch models but I cant help but ask am I missing Something here? It wouldnt be the 1st time. What do you mean by the Box doesnt match the System? Its the same one a pictured. cant you see the thick walls on both? Just curious what you mean by that since even though I didnt own this since it was purchased originaly,yet I have no reason at all to think this is not the console that came in that box. I am really curious for you to elaborate, I feel like Im missing something. Please do, thanks

 

PS> I can definately get more pics upon request. i have about 30-40 different consoles and about 6 boxed of which i think 3-4 are HS. 4 rooms of stuff that isnt part of my collection, that is separate. I spent Lotsa $$$ and Im not giving anything away so if interested, make reasonable fair offer please. Anything i sell or trade will be properly tested again right before packaging... gives me an excuse to play! Please see Carts , rare ones too with good pics in marketplace forum, all doubles must go....link below, cheers

The heavy sixer box has a picture of a chess piece knight on it on the top row, not sure but I think 3rd from the right. The other boxes don't but they will still show the a heavy sixer on it. I think even the 4-switch boxes will show the thick moulding associated with the heavy sixer on the box.

Yes, the knight chess piece on the heavy sixer box is in the top row, beside one of the motorcycles (dirt bike I think). AFAIK, Atari never pictured the light sixer on any of its boxes, they just kept the same picture. The chess piece was removed from the light sixer box because someone sued Atari for false advertising for not having a chess cartridge. After that, to avoid the possibility of having to pay out to large numbers of heavy sixer owners in a class-action suit for the same reason, they got some of their genius programmers to actually make a chess game - which had previously been considered impossible for the system. Later when the 4-switch CX2600-A console was introduced, penny-pinching Atari simply superimposed the 4-switch panel onto the original heavy sixer photo, creating an image of a non-existent "heavy four-er" console.

You learn something new everyday! Thank guys, I did not know this.

I just bought a light sixer from the flea market today (I know it's a light sixer from reading the thread). I has the controllers and no adapter. $5, but it was as-is and I'm hoping everything is okay with it. It has a broken reset switch that I plan on fixing. It came detached from the inside and rattles around (the metal handle still sticks out). I noticed that it has two cutouts under the "grill," can it be used for speakers?

It was planned to be used for speakers, but that idea never came to fruition.
