mvigor Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 FYI- For those of you who may not know this, there are "light" six-switch 2600's as well. From what I've heard, the light version is by far more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Yes, I know. You can see all Atari 2600 VCS consoles here: Atari 2600 Consoles and Clones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I've got a light sixer! Inside it's just a single "motherboard" and lots of air. Kinda hard to fit those Imagic, Activision, and other thicker carts into. Voch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Thats correct, the original Heavy Sixers are the original Sunnyvale models with the very thick heavy bottom case. When manufacturing was moved over to Asia there was a mix of both old and new plastics so some 6'ers had top covers with speaker slits but light bottoms, some with heavy bottoms, some without speaker slits and so forth.
