Eduardo Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 From the 2600 F.A.Q.: All 6 switch Ataris had a large shield casing. There were at least two 6-switch versions: (6-1) The original. The entire bottom half of the console was made of quarter inch thick plastic (~6mm)! Combined with the thick aluminum RF casing, this is the heaviest 2600 ever made. Also, this 2600 has no 2/3 channel select switch. There is a channel select hole in the case and it's marked Channel A/B, but there's no switch inside on the PCB. These consoles came with "01 combat". (1977 models only) (6-2) The lighter 2600. No armor plating. Bottom half of console is made of thin plastic, like the 4 switch models. Channel switch now present. Thick RF shield still present. Plain ol' "combat" included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krytol Posted May 25, 2002 Author Share Posted May 25, 2002 I picked up a six-switcher at Savers this morning. Which one is it? How do you tell them apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atarian7 Posted May 26, 2002 Share Posted May 26, 2002 My sixer has the a/b select. I thought there was a switch deep in there though. The label got cleaned off when I cleaned the system, but there is a "460" imprinted on the plastic right behind where the label would be. Does that mean anything?
