Sears heavy-sixer question


Draikar

Recommended Posts

I got another Sears heavy-sixer system some time ago but they don't look identical (inside they do).

 

On the bottom left of one it says channel select A - B but there is no select switch, just a hole. The other Sears heavy-sixer dose not say this or have the hole.

 

Anyone have any info, is the one with the channel select a newer one before they made them lighter or is it PAL ? ( I have not tested it yet)

The one without the channel select is earlier .. fall 1977 .. first season! I had one in fall 1977 and it broadcast on ch3 which got interference from our local TV channel 3. We took it back and got a ch4 unit .. everyone did back then.

 

It's hard to know about the second unit. Atari was obviously putting leftover parts into the newer design consoles.
