JesuSlaveX Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 http://webpages.charter.net/jesuslavex/atari/ Let me know what I've stumbled across. Rarity, value, history, anything. I'm pretty much clueless on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Looks like a nice unit that you managed to get. It's not rarer than a typical 2600 but it is a nice find regardless. Welcome to the boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawgWyld Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 http://webpages.charter.net/jesuslavex/atari/ Let me know what I've stumbled across. Rarity, value, history, anything. I'm pretty much clueless on this one I picked up something almost identical to that a couple of years ago for about $15 around here. It came with about 10 boxed games (all very, very common), too. Sold the whole thing -- games and all -- for around $150 on eBay. Not a bad lick at all. As for history, it's my understanding those units were the early ones sent to retailers to demo. I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone around here will correct me if that's the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald_Ferren Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I just realized, they're needing a picture of one of these on the 2600 Hardware page: http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/consoles.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad idea, provided my wife will let me escape and play games. And, I'm down that way quite a bit -- grew up in Benton, and visit often. Heh. Do they still call North Little Rock "Dogtown?"

JerryG Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 As for history, it's my understanding those units were the early ones sent to retailers to demo. I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone around here will correct me if that's the case From the JerryG Guide to Classic VideoGames: Model No. CX-2600A. The box is printed "Promotional Use Only Not For Resale" across the front and back.” Bottom of console is hot-stamped the same. We purchased one of these unopened complete in the original cardboard outer box from the original owner who said he received it as part of an automotive sales promotion when he bought a new 1983 Mustang from Fair City Ford in Pomona, California. As far as he could remember it was being given away only with the purchase of a new Mustang but may have been used in other promotional give-aways! The outer box was marked, “Options Magic, Award Program.” JerryG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I've seen one of those promo boxes before too. A game store in NW San Antonio had one a few years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
