atarisales Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 For those that know, please answer this. Is the circuit board in an Atari Light Sixer the same board in a Sears Light Sixer? Thanks in advance..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuzenTCA Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I am not totally sure, but I would say yes as long as they are both Heavy or Light. I would never take apart my Sixers because they are old, few and far between, and they give a great picture for testing or in-depth playing.

Thanks in advance..... They sort of are, although the ribbon cable connector varies and the switch plate circuit board is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarisales Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 What I would really be asking is could you take the circuit board, in whole out of a Sears Lighr Sixer, and transplant it in the shell of an Atari Light Sixer. Does it fit the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Thanks CPUWIZ! I know I have had a friend in you! You're welcome. Especially after your cursed heavy sixer that took me forever to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarisales Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 I thank you for that valient effort. But, like an elderly patient, it did come home to die in a few weeks. It was perfect for about 2 days, then would only play in 2 shades of black & white. Then one day it just stopped altogether. It just wasn't meant to be. And like I said, I owe you big time for the great effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

video game addict Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 You know you can also transplant the light 6er into that Heavy as well. I did that with one I had purchased it was assumed dead when I bought it, but looked in good shape. I had a light 6er in perfect working order I simply gutted and put in the heavy. If you still have and prefer the look of the heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarisales Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 I dunno. That's sorta like a boob job - looks fantastic with clothes on, but just is not the same underneath. Get the meaning? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ussexplorer Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 But is it a sin to take a sears six swicther board and put it in a broken atari six switcher. Especially since I like the atari one better than sears? later ussexplorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Aren't the Sears boards Atari-branded anyway? I know at the very least that the Sears Video Arcade II uses the Atari 2800 board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
