Lynxpro Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Wow. And even worse in my book is Deseret Industries. I haven't tried the St. Paul or UNICEF stores... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 This is my 4 port that is power modded and has the single jack composite mod done with the Electronicsentimentalities mod board modded by Yurkie . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 You fixed it up just to sell it? No and Yes. Typically if I score a classic system, I mod it and hang onto it for a year or two, then part with it if I find a new one (circle of life). I really wanted to hang onto this baby, as it's a true Sunnyvale 4-porter with 12 boxed games. Fits nicely with my Sunnyvale 7800 from 1984, and my Sunnyvale Heavy Sixer VCS. And it's a good thing! Because wifely is preggers, and I'm going to start selling off pieces of my substantial collection. This is the first to go because I just modded it, it's fresh, and I can't get attached to it. Sure is a beaut! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phattyboombatty Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I never find any good tech at the Goodwills here in Sac! I to am a Sac boy. Born there, family lives there, visit there often (just last weekend). At the risk of giving up all my secrets , I can tell you that some of the best scores are to be found on Sacramento Craigslist. From there to the bay (especially in SJ), I've nabbed some killer scores. Heck, if I had more time up there last weekend, I would've bounced around 5 counties for pickups! Last year I scored a Sears Heavy with a handful of loose games, and half a dozen boxed gatefolds (including Sears). Last I checked, this Sears H6er is the 3rd oldest as documented in the Atari 2600 Serial number list here on AA! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynxpro Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Maybe Sac really still does have rabid Atari fans but we aren't really aware of one another because we're not even behaving like Hermits United yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joystickjedi Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Finally looked: 0516944 SV-502 (4 port) Is there a magic decoder for these things? From what I have gathered, at least from the last part your system was made in Sunnyvale (SV) in the 50th week of 82 (WWY)? Beyond that, dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you scored that mint 4-port that was posted last month in Antelope/Citrus Heights. It was a beauty. The guy wanted $80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari-dna Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 (edited) Mine is low. 004417. Anyone lower? Yep, much lower. But not older, I guess. If the WW/Y convention is accurate, this was assembled in the 2nd week of '83? I guess they set the serial number counters back to Zero after the New Year? The PCB is a Rev6 CO18085, ©1982 which is the first version of the PCB This is a glossy 4-port Edited August 8, 2015 by atari-dna 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Here is my Atari 5200 Serial Number: 2 Controller ports #262656 EP-353 Assume it is manufactured in El Paso, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamcade Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I have a low-serial 5200. 2601 EP 33. I got it so I could steal it's BIOS chip for my CIB 2-port. But I don't really have room for 2 5200's. I think I should sell this one as untested since I don't have the wonky power/RF box it requires.

atari-dna Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) I've documented all my 5200 consoles now, so figured I'd post them. Trying to do this systematically, so I'll do the SV units first, lowest serial (already posted) to the highest. Then the EP units and the AT last. Is AT for Atari Tipperary? I know they had a plant in Ireland, though it could be Taiwan as well. It's interesting that the controllers I have accumulated over the years, I've seen molds for USA, Taiwan and Mexico. Nothing in Ireland, presumably AT is Taiwan then. 2nd S-V unit (Sunnyvale?)
