moycon Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I think Stan Jr is making the whole thing up and remain skepital about the story as a whole.

WHAT IS IT!!! TELL US!!!! TEEELLLLLL USSS! Ok just tell me then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted February 7, 2002 Author Share Posted February 7, 2002 Nothing yet! ARRGHHH! Crap on this, I'm going there tomorrow and demanding to be allowed into that cage. its almost a week now. That old man better be dead or close to it. Who doesn't pick up their messages for a week? I must have what is in that cage. Trust me, there will be much rejoicing when and if I do get it. If he has sold it to someone else, I will talk to you again in 5-10, 8 if I behave myself. Frustrated Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Atari Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Stan, if he sold it, you need to open up a major can on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left another message for him to call me. Meanwhile the box lies just out of reach in that big cage. My sasquatchian paws could almost touch the box through the chain links! WHAT IS IT!!!!!

Junie Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 quote: Originally posted by StanJr: Now we're talking! I called today and they said the guy hasn't picked up his messages yet! Could this thing possibly be a true Heavy 6er or am I just wishing now? I wish you the best of luck Stan, hopefully it is a Heavy Sixer. "Crossing-Fingers" I started Atari collecting around October of last year, and managed to find a Heavy Sixer in it's original box in December. Along with the joysticks, paddles, power supply, and everything in their original boxes and with original manuals. It came with the original Combat in it's box and manual, and 3 other boxed games with their manuals. I manged to find it in the wild while thrifting at Goodwill. I picked it up for $15.00 It is a complete packaged Heavy Sixer, well except maybe for the Styrofoam if these had any? Everything works perfectly It is still my best find, and undoubtly remain my best find. I know the feeling of finding and getting it, I hope it turns out the same for you. Found out more about my Heavy Sixer with pictures here http://www.atariage.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb...c&f=16&t=002265 [ 02-09-2002: Message edited by: Junie ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took some pictures of the box, I am not sure how good they look-- My monitor is so dark it hard to see certain things, my video card can't handle the monitor.. Anyway tell us if the box you seen looks like this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 OOO! The size looks right. Buy I only know what the side label looks like! Can you take a pic of that and post it???? OOO! [ 02-09-2002: Message edited by: StanJr ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Now after all of this, watch the box be empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 I should add that that box isn't just for the heavy sixer, I have a standard woodgrain 6-switch with the same design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would mention that I seen a empty Atari 2600 box sell on eBay last month for $20 something bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 10, 2002 Author Share Posted February 10, 2002 Nope dat aint it. Must be a later system. The side label says "Atari" on the far left, next to that it says "Video Computer System" in the middle, and on the right are pictures of 20 different carts (like Checkers and Outlaw and Football) boxes. There isn't a pic of the actual console!!! If its empty somebody is going to die. Irrational at this point Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iguana Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE GUY YET???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted February 15, 2002 Author Share Posted February 15, 2002 NO! I have left messages, and I have called everyday since I saw it. Apparently, this cat is not serious about selling it. When he is, I suppose he will contact me, of course he will get a lot less from me than he would have if he called me right back. I have no time for such frivolity, I need my atari. Thanks for asking, I will post as soon as I know more. And Iguana, that CAPS LOCK is still killing me, take it down a notch for yer ol' pal Stan, eh?

King Atari Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Stan, I was just joking before, but you really do need to open up a major can of jellied whoop ***. That or go in the place and start throwing stuff around and screaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iguana Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 Sorry Stan, I am at work anf all my codes I type in are in caps so I always have it in lock! I will try to take it down a half notch or so! BUT ATARI GETS ME SO WORKED UP!! Just kidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
