smf_4ever Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 In my quest to relive childhood again.... I am hunting for a true "heavy Sixer". How many of these monsters were really made?

Heavy Sixer Posted August 14, 2002 Share Posted August 14, 2002 Unique. There's only one of me. Unfortunately, I'm not worth very much. In fact, usually someone has to pay just to get rid of me! Seriously, though, true heavy sixers are uncommon. I think I only have one out of about thirty 2600 consoles, and I've only encountered one or two others in the wild. They were made for a year or less (they were THE original model), so compared to the total number of 2600s manufactured, they represent a relatively small percentage. Unfortunately, I don't know any exact figures regarding their production or their general value. Maybe someone around here can enlighten us...

munkyxtc Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 agreed, heavy sixers are fairly uncommon, however, of the last 4 systems I found 3 of them were heavy sixers...go figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted August 15, 2002 Share Posted August 15, 2002 I recently found one at Savers for 6 bucks. Beautiful. It cleaned up nice. But let me warn you - half the carts I have don't fit! So it sits on the shelf looking pretty...VERY pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
