Who here has a Light Sixer?

[Atari Charles]

I have one now. It was given to me by my nieghbour with some common games. Good thing: It is made in Sunnyvale California. The bad thing is: It is the Scar-Face version. Someone left a burning cigarette on the top of it thus it has a 2 inch long scar. I can't complain as it was free. My nieghbour also gave me a Four-Switch, joysticks, paddles, and cables.

 

One day, I hope to get a Heavy-Sixer, but I'm not willing to pay the crazy amounts people are asking on Ebay.

If you want to get a Heavy sixer just keep checking ebay like once every othere day. I got really Lucky and i picked up a heavy sixer plus 115, 2 sets of paddles, 4 joysticks, 2 game organizers and the power supply and an RF adapter from radioshack with a BIN for $99. Could not pass that up and it works just fine no problems with it at all.

If you're dilligent enough you can get a nice heavy sixer cheap. Last year I lucked out on a mint, CIB Sears heavy sixer with a few Sears text labels for $60 (only thing that wasn't original was the AC), and last week scored a bare Sears heavy sixer (no accessories or games) for $13. You just gotta keep checking.

i have one. it was passed down to me from my brothers after they got a better game system. i think it was nintendo. i only have sports games and war games that involve shooting something and mario bros.

I have one. It was my first current-era Atari (I had a heavy sixer and later a 7800 when they were new). It was given to me by a friend and now, 400+ cartridges and six classic consoles later) is still my favorite (except for when I try to jam thicker cartridges into it...then I use my Jr.).

It's quite hard to find a good deal on heavy sixers for me.

 

I only want an Atari heavy sixer with the gray A/C adaptor and such.

I have a couple light sixers. I think the heavy and light sixers have far better video quality than any of the 4 switch and jr systems.

[Big Player]

My first 2600 is a light sixer. It does have better video compared to my other 2600's.

I have a light sixer. I picked it up at Savers a few years ago for $6.

I have a Sears Telegames light sixer. It's the first and only Atari VCS I've ever owned (my family bought it in like 1980 or so), and it still works just fine.

I just recently bought a light sixer from the flea market. its in great shape. i have been buying games like krazy ever since!

I think mine's a light sixer, but it's got some metal around the inside of the cartridge slot; also, its controller ports are a bit lower in the back. The only other version of the Atari 2600 that I ever owned was the 4-switch model back in 1981.

My first Atari was a Light Sixer... gave me many good years of play until I replaced it with a Heavy Sixer. Strangely enough, I have both Light and Heavy Sixer's, a Darth Vader, both the long/short rainbow variations of the 2600 Jr... and yet I don't have a regular 4-Switch system. Oh well, I'm not complaining.

Sounds a bit like me. I've found boxed heavy and light sixers (sears) and a bunch of Jr's over the last year or so, but I only found one Vader and one four-switch woody. The vader I sold in a lot, and the woody I cannibalized to repair a Sears Video Arcade II with a bad RIOT, so in the end I still don't have a (working) 4-switch. :-)

Ive got a light 6er and a 6er with the massive RF shield, I have to say that the 6ers give the best image for me. Its a pity about some carts getting stuck though
