zylon Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I've got: A1 5519505 No expansion cutout or port, but does have place for it on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 A1 7B 5112466 (no expansion port) this was my sisters console which I received in 1992 when she graduated from college… I believe it was purchased in late 1986 or possibly in early 1987? she is the original owner… Hmmm...that would throw my theory into the trash then. I was thinking that the "A1" units had some meaning to the first two characters. I thought the first number might be the year and the second is the month. This would mean, 6C = December 1986 78 = August 1987 However, yours is a "7B" and that would put it November 1987. Are you sure it wasn't late 1987 or early 1988?

zylon Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hmmm. Mine doesn't have anything between the A1 and number so it must be from Nevervember then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hmmm. Mine doesn't have anything between the A1 and number so it must be from Nevervember then. Could be! However, I have seen some 7800 pass through my hands that had no blue numbers/letters on the console but the box had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I have seen some 7800 pass through my hands that had no blue numbers/letters on the console but the box had them. I didn't get the box or any paperwork on it. Had one broken cart port pin and bad power switch. Still worth the $5 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just spoke with my sister a little bit ago and just brought it up on when she got the console - she doesn't recall the year, but she said she got it just after her birthday, which is October 5th, with money she had got from our grandmother - she then mentioned that at Christmas she got the games Food Fight and Xevious as gifts… so it is likely late 87 when she got the console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmetal88 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Here's mine: A1-86-5341227 Mine has the expansion interface on the board inside the unit, but no access to it from the outside shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalidi Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Ordered from Best Electronics in CA, my 7800 came with serial A1 88 5425512 No evidence of expansion port, so it's definitely one of the later A1's. Guessing it's from 1988, judging by the dated instruction booklet that came with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
