robbievgb Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 The light sixer probably because its what I grew up with, followed by the telegames heavy sixer because it screams 70's. I always thought the Jr looked a little pathetic and simple compared to the original design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 From a practical perspective, the 4 switch woody is your best overall bet. Six switch models have a heavier rf shield, which seems to make for a tight fit on later games. I've even seen a few labels with scrape damage. The vaders I've opened all had soldered chips, making it harder to replace or diagnose a bad TIA or whichever. And the only consoles I've ever found in the wild that were DOA were jrs. 4 switch woody is inexpensive, reliable, easy to fix, and easier to find. Having said that, I usually use a 7800. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcast Gamer Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Mine would have to be the 4-switch woodgrain, since that's what I have. The 7800, Coleco Gemini, Vader, and Heavy-Sixer would follow in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 2switch-version? Difficulty-switches on the front? Be very nice when tweaking her paddle knobs (and if you're lucky she might play your joystick)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm wondering more about to where to put the cartridge... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'm wondering more about to where to put the cartridge... I'm sure there's a special "slot" for that. You really have to spend quite some time tweaking her difficulty switches in just the right way for it to open. Some models are easier to access than others. If at first you don't succeed, try try again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultrasteve Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Simply because it was my first, the large-rainbow, silver-strip Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+save2600 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Didn't realize the Jr models came with the 7800 cramp sticks. Yeah, couple of different releases just for Europe; like how their 7800 came with the CX78 joypads. :jealous: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoatomic Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 My favorites, in order are: Heavy six - I just always liked working on them, I like the board layout. They are laid out to be repaired with a scope. Tele Games light six - build quality 4 switch woody with ver 8 board - superb quality build and components, but I don't find them as attractive as the six switch models. I have never seen that many, production run was shorter than other versions. When one hits my bench it makes me smile :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H454 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The Jr Is my fav, but any modded for RGB or s video is a huge plus. Here are two of mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
