Juzza Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Hi! I am from the UK and pretty new to the Atari world! I was wondering if anyone can help me with a question or two? I have bought and sold several Atari's in the past (The 6 switch,4 switch and Jnr. etc.) but recently i have come across a 6 switch CX-2600 model that has "MFG. By ATARI, INC., SUNNYVALE, CA." label underneath it, but i doesnt have the extra plastic moulding round the back or sides and is the same weight as a standard unit (Made in Hong Kong) so its not a heavy sixer, my question is were many made in the US that were like this and what year would it be? Thanks for any help on this!! Juzza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Can't help you with the year, but I've also got what appears to be a light sixer on the outside, but it says Sunnyvale on the bottom and has the heavy shielding inside. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juzza Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks for answering, i know it probably sounded like a stupid question to some but in the UK you never see a genuine 'heavy sixer' on ebay or anywhere! ... I checked out the US ebay and theres loads and their cheap too!! I think this is the closest i'll get. Anyway thanks again and forgive my ignorance!!!!!

Christophero Sly Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If I interpret your description correctly, you have a standard 'light-sixer' console that was manufactured in California. AIUI, light-sixers were produced from 1978 to 1980. All 2600 models prior to the Jr. were produced both in California and overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzza Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thanks again for answering, Almost all 6 switchers in the UK that i have seen are made in Hong Kong, thats why i had to ask. Oh well, at least its something a little bit different for us over here even if it is a standard unit for the US! Cheers!! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
