craigm71 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 This is my 7800: A175 5852754 I bought mine from someone on Craigslist around a year ago. It works, in perfect condition, and has the expansion port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam242 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Always fun to contribute to these serial number tracker threads... Mine's A1 83 5237378. Atari Corp model, no expansion port. Picked it up at a thrift store a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Desired to have mine posted for a while, but wanted to gather as many as possible together: A1 74 5876442 A1 88 5425515 A3 89 5158935 A3 8C 5214226 X 201 028792 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just so I know, can we read, say this: AT84 62528 -SeaGtGruff AT84 62542 -godzillajoe As likely meaning those two consoles were in spitting distance of each other on the assembly line? Or do the numbers not actually follow each other that closely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Just so I know, can we read, say this: As likely meaning those two consoles were in spitting distance of each other on the assembly line? Or do the numbers not actually follow each other that closely? I think for the shells the answer is yes. However, the motherboards were on a different schedule. I have another thread where I tested a ton of 7800 consoles and opened em up to see the date of the motherboards. The date of the motherboards doesn't necessarily follow the date of the shell in chronological order. A good guess is that the shells were manufactured on a schedule with stickers applied and motherboards were made somewhere else. Then they would be assembled. Therefore the "oldest" shell may not necessarily have the "oldest" motherboard. Check out how close the one Trebor just posted (A1 88 5425515) with the one right above it. Just three away!

The one right above A1 88 5425515 is A1 74 5876442. What do you mean by "just three away"? Also, I noticed on the list A1 88 5425515 is listed as being a part of the units without an "Expansion Interface". That would be incorrect. The system has a complete Expansion Module Interface.

Also, I noticed on the list A1 88 5425515 is listed as being a part of the units without an "Expansion Interface". That would be incorrect. The system has a complete Expansion Module Interface. In the listing on Post #1 the one right above yours is... A1 88 5425512 -jalidi A1 88 5425515 -Trebor (with Expansion Interface) There is only a difference of 3. Also, this A1 88 unit is quite an odd duck to have an expansion interface so late in the game. By the serial number the shell was likely made in August 1988 which is long after the interface was dropped. Some units have a hole but no actual port inside and others have a port, but was covered up with a shell that has no hole. This must be one where the stars aligned and a unit with an interface was put out at this late date. Cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to confirm too, it is the full interface. The hole and complete port (Just like my A1 74 5876442) is present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Just so everyone gets it, I have to believe it's pretty long odds that the system shells would be that close, so it is pretty impressive in a way. I mean, even though the system didn't set the world on fire, we're still talking MILLIONS of units. Something like 3000 times one thousand units rolling off the assembly line. And of those then you have to have ones that are still around a quarter of a century later. And the people who own those units have to still be interested enough in them to talk about them online. And then the people have to want to talk about them here in particular. And they have to be some of the few people who actually listed their serial numbers. It's actually prety long odds finding matches within 20, let alone within 3. The two that are three apart, did you guys get them from an online retailer at some point perhaps?

Trebor Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The two that are three apart, did you guys get them from an online retailer at some point perhaps? The 7800 systems I have now have been acquired over the last couple of years. I lost my entire classic games and systems collection (~30 years worth) a couple of years prior to that. My "new" stuff was purchased from a variety of sources/places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian R. Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Just bought this 7800 on Friday. It has the expansion interface. It's an "AT" serial as you can see. Has two power buttons - pause button is labeled power. Edited August 25, 2013 by Brian R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian R. Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 This is my other 7800. I have 3 in total now; this is the one I have out, third is packed away somewhere. This one has no expansion interface and there are no markings that it ever was there (I understand on some you can see an outline where it would be, not so on this one). This was my first 7800, found "in the wild." It had a pebble jammed in the cartridge port; popped it out with a tiny screwdriver, and it's worked ever since.
