candiru Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Do you actually use your heavy sixer for your 2600 gaming because of the higher image quality and because it looks kick-ass? Or do you just keep it as a showpiece? If so, why -- tight cartridge slot? Prefer a different Atari model? I'm just curious because I'm trying to determine if I'd actually use one if I got it. I've seen a few since I began collecting. They were decently priced, but never quite good enough deals to lure me into purchasing. It's kind of hard to justify when I've already got several other 2600s and other consoles. The collector in me says yes, but my closet shelves say no.

bjk7382 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I keep mine in a plastic bag stored away. It is with my other stuff I don't use (which include a few other 2600 systems). The "lite" six switch system will have the same image quality as a heavy sixer. It is only the 4 switch and jr that have the lighter colors.

BigFairy321 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 lol, im on the verge also of buying a six switch woodgrain for show purposes only. Shelf space is a huge problem at the moment to a point where i have to think twice about buying a console especially since i added a boxed megadive and boxed master system to my coolection ( dang those megadrive boxes are huge ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarisales Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I use mine for both a showpiece as well as playing and testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuzenTCA Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 When I need to test new carts or calibrate a potentimeter I use my H-sixer. Otherwise I just play my 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 My Sears Video Arcade is for playing, I want to replace the switches though. They're very worn-out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian M Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I use mine when the mood strikes me. But I've been using my 4 switcher more often simply due to the slightly roomier cart slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
