Vic George 2K3 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Probably the "Darth Vader" model because I never owned one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 All of the six switch systems will give you a better picture becuase they have more rf shielding inside. I never thought the 4 switchers had a good picture (I own both and compared them) I would think the heavy sixers have the best picture of them all. But this is only my opinion, so don't jump all over my case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister VCS Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 Right. You can´t play most of the newer red-lable games on a 4switch. Same problems with Space Shuttle, Pitfall II an others. The picture is fuzzy and you can´t fix it. 6switch is the best. The 2600jr picture is nearly as clear as the 6switch, but this system ist too small.

ATARIPITBULL Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I like the looks of the Vader, but I will always love the six-switch woody, it was the one I had as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 6 switch Sears model. Its the first one I ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 The only one that I have hooked up right now is a JR. I may be in the minority but I like the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 I would choose the Heavy 6er or the Vader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisbid Posted December 28, 2003 Share Posted December 28, 2003 six switch all-black consoles are lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyranthraxus Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Six switch is the choice of those but I would rather have the Junior. I love its sleek look and the fact its so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 The original heavy sixer is by far my favorite. I never use my junior or vader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nateo Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I like the look of the heavy sixer, but its nice to have a Junior so you dont have to tote the clunkier models around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Grew up with the Vader, but my recently acquired Heavy Sixer is by far my most favorite model aesthetically. However, there are some design flaws with the earliest six switch systms that may rule them out for some people...keep in mind that the original sixers lack a channel select switch as most other VCS systems had. Also, the RF shielding causes some tightness in the cart slot which can cause some minor damage to your carts and labels. As for the RF shielding yielding better pictures, in my experience I have not noticed that much in the way of an improvement in the amount of interference on the screen. Your mileage may vary.

Inky Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 First run of 7800's. Play all 7800 and 2600 games, and is sleek looking to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiw Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 How do you tell a "first run" 7800? Is one with the expansion port a first run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
