hizzy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I just got my first Heavy Sixer. It's a Sears Tele-Games. I didn't grow up with the Tele-Games but the picture quality looked great in a test. I have a few light sixers, a modded Vader and a really nice 4-switch woody. Here is the serial # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFly88DMC Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I finally got around to giving my childhood Heavy Sixer a good cleaning/refurbishing. I replaced the electrolytic caps, 7805 regulator and the chicklet caps near it, styrene audio caps, power jack and installed the anti-static mod for the joystick ports. I'm still looking for yellow paint to match the pin striping on the bezel. I couldn't bring myself to peel off the label I made back in the day, by the "Fuji" on the woodgrain 😁 MFG. in Sunnyvale, CA SN# 54082M Edited March 25 by McFly88DMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like carts with people's names and labels and such on them. Feels like history. I bought a collection of Odyssey2 carts that had handwritten, masking tape labels on them. Sadly, the adhesive has dried up and many of the labels are gone. But I do have an O2 game catalog with handwritten reviews and comments about some of the games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I got one of those old-school Dymo label makers for Christmas as a kid and got a little carried away. I think my parents quickly regretted that purchase! I get what you mean re: history...it is kind of a cool feeling. Quite a few of my 2600 carts were "personalized" by their previous owners.

I'd forgotten until this recent posting, but I had a 2600 cartridge that was labeled as belonging to a doctor's office. I'm not even sure if I still have that one. Now I'm going to have to hunt for my old post about it... Edited April 19 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
