mathflicks2901 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone! I recently bought a heavy sixer from ebay. However, it seems very different than most heavy sixers. Mainly, it has an orange lining (bezel) instead of a yellow one. Why is it this way? Thanks for replying.

R.Cade Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 They were originally orange. I have one like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I've ran into color issues like this on joysticks and consoles. I've had joysticks that the color was anywhere from gold to dark orange, even tan/brown. Yes, yellow too. I always figured it was due to UV exposure or other environmental factors. It's also possible that someone touched up the bezel. There's a guy on eBay who sells joysticks that he salvages and repairs and he paints the orange back on them with a really nice shade of almost neon orange.

R.Cade Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) This is original... Not mine, but mine is the same color. Edited November 13, 2017 by R.Cade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atari-dna Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I’ve seen orange and yellow, both appear legit with age and wear spots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Could be an example of Atari mixing and matching H6 and L6 parts as they phased out the H6. In this case, H6 bottom with L6 top (or at least switch panel). Edited November 15, 2017 by BassGuitari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
