Devin Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) I saw this on eBay, and it looks a bit odd. Its an auction for a Sears Atari 2600. The picture makes it look like there are 2 speakers built into the top of the console - like a classic Pong system. Was this normal for Sears 6-switchers? The system is nonfunctional. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 250824681018 EDIT: Added photo Edited May 23, 2011 by Devin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberpunk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 "The original 1977 six switch consoles have openings in the top deck for two speakers! Obviously Atari nixed the built-in speakers and went with the sound through the TV speaker. So that is why the Atari 2600 has a "speaker grill" as its top!" -Rob Mitchell, some website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anakedg Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I saw this on eBay, and it looks a bit odd. Very normal. I see this version fairly often and probably more often than the Atari branded 6 switchers. Afaik it is usually referred to as a "Telegames 2600" or usually with some mention of the Telegames name along with Sears as a "Sears Tele-games 6er" or something like that.
