Lodmot Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Take a look at this: Why.... it appears to be a heavy 4-switcher! Here's another picture, to kinda prove that I'm not making this up: Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any heavy four-switcher Atari's? Or... did they just simply use the heavy sixer picture and paint out the two other switches? Edited March 4, 2012 by Lodmot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntavio Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 That's interesting. I've never seen that before. I'm inclined to say it's a fake but I can't prove it. Do you own the actual box? Or where did you see this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lodmot Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I actually saw it on a youtube video, here: (skip to about 7:04) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONvf11l-wbY And those two pictures.

+save2600 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Posted about this a little while ago as I have one of those boxes. IIRC, the consensus was that Atari would use whatever was laying around for their stock photos and that a heavy 4-switch may have been prototyped or they simply got their shells mixed up and never bothered to change it.

Cebus Capucinis Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I have a bunch of these for sale, $500 each..... Heavy Six + Desolder 2 switches + Change faceplate = PROFIT! I should mention they're "as is", but "they worked the last time I tried them"...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opeygon Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yeah nothing new here. This has been covered numerous times in the past. Pretty funny though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deteacher Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I have a bunch of these for sale, $500 each..... Heavy Six + Desolder 2 switches + Change faceplate = PROFIT! I should mention they're "as is", but "they worked the last time I tried them"...... Not to mention making the color/bw switch work as the power switch, making the left difficulty operate as color/bw, making right difficulty work as game select and making game select work as game reset. Oh, then install 2 toggle switches on the back to work as the left and right difficulty. Sounds like a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
