VidGameKing Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 so I just recently purchased two 2600, a heavy 6er and a standard 6 switch, and when I get new things they get tested, cleaned, tested again and stored properly. Today when I had a case cracked open of the standard six switch I noticed printed inside the cover near the part nomber a strange sentance I've never seen on any other 2600, it says: "PROPERTY OF ATAI INC. SUNNYVALE CA. 94086" now, that not the only strange bit, the part number is C010307-A which I asume is correct, but before the part number, a little more to the left of it, like it was somthing seperate is this: "L&W G" is this some sort of sub-contracted manufactoring plant? the bottom of the unit has a tag on it, with it's serial number and such, the tag itself is green, it say the unit was manufactored in Tiawan I was under the impression that these were suppose to have been made in Hong Kong? and finally the serial number starts with a "T" like: T035298 so guys put your brains together and tell me whats up, cause I dont have a clue, (And I thought I knew EVERYTHING :wink: ) maybe it's nothing, but I dont know... ohh, also the date on the inside of the unit, (you know the little tage they tape to the metal sheilding) says, DEC 28 1979, so maybe that'll help you guys help me.

Raijin Z Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 My 4 switch has something that looks like old receipt paper taped on the inside, but the mimeographing on it's too bloody to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfnmadness Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 We had sort of a chat about serial numbers after a website I had found back a few weeks ago. Here is the thread. http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=29060 This whole serial number business would make a good feature story for AA if a person had the inside scoop on it.

VidGameKing Posted July 13, 2003 Author Share Posted July 13, 2003 why does it say that the upper case of my 2600 is the property of Atari??? I could understand copyrights, or or trademarks, but to flat out say that this peice "BELONGS" to Atari whats that about? and dont say bad english-taiwanese translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfnmadness Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Can you take a photo of it and post it? maybe someone else here can verify it or at least see if they have the same markings or like ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 My 4 switch has something that looks like old receipt paper taped on the inside, but the mimeographing on it's too bloody to read. Too bloody? Methinks we need to see a photo of that! For sale, one vintage VCS, owned by a vampire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Was there ever a 2600 game named after Dracula? J/K Seriously, I'll have to crack open of my 4 switchers to see if it's got the same writing on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
