Sears Tele-Games vs Atari 2600?

[+sramirez2008]

Nice!! Spawnshop hooked me up as well with the Sears Heavy Sixer that I purchased this past November. Nice, I see some CX-10's and the original paddles and driving controllers!!

 

Yup...been slowly piecing everything together. I purchased the Heavy Sixer, CX-10's and a driving controller from AA member Mitkraft. - Thanks again Mitkraft!

 

We have a wonderful community here. Have never had an issue when buying something from anyone here on AA.

I stumbled across this lot which has a pair of Sears paddles:

Thanks to AA member spawnshop, my Sears Heavy Sixer now has a proper home.

Oh WOW, I love that. I have one, didn't come with a top cover though.

 

But weirdly, it DID come with a free 4-switch that turned out to be a Sunnyvale. Even so? The storage center was the best part of that deal. It's gorgeous.

 

Nothing like a Sears H6 on top of one of those. Nicely done.

A Sunnyvale 4-switch is pretty cool!

 

Yeah, for obvious reasons, its getting harder and harder to find a decent cover for the storage centers, but they complete the look. I'm very, very happy with the overall condition of my center.

The notch-out in the top cover actually goes to the back to fit around the controller and power plugs.

Oops. Thanks!

Nice i will have to keep an eye out for one of those centers. I am sure this Spring and Summer will bring many interesting garage sale finds I hope.

I hope you can find one, they really are neat.

Don't know where you're located, or what the Tele-Games center is worth to you but I spotted this recently in my area:

Nah I am in Iowa which is why sometimes I feel like there are good opportunities out here to find stuff. You know how much those farmers like to play Atari and other things. Illinois has also been an interesting place to find things as well.

Always nice to revive a good topic (hopefully). I've picked up a nice one (cross my fingers - will test the console tonight - seller said the picture wasn't clear). Bought it mainly for the box, inserts, power cord, etc. But, my plan is to cobble together a complete console. Does anyone happen to have some pictures of the original paperwork, TV switchbox, the actual cartridge, cartridge box, manual that was included, and controller that was included (looks like the paddles have already been shown & for the controllers, maybe it would suffice if someone would confirm if the Sears hexplate was always present). The more I type, the more daunting this task seems. But, if I get it completed, at least I've got the Telegames display case ready to go. Thanks for any help.

Most pieces should be attainable without too much of an issue. The piece youll have trouble with are the hex disks. They are rarely if ever available at any price.
