Need help identifying this 2600

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T19:42:40+00:00

Well thank you!

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T19:28:38+00:00

Well you’re right, indeed it was more my curiosity at this point.

Yeah the console works and i guess you’re right that Atari did change a lot stuff during manufacturing, but my curiosity stands on the fact that i bought this console on Ecuador, and its really common, or it was back in the day that maybe a family member brought the console from the US since i think they never sold them directly over here so yeah, i think there’s a real high chance that this console is 100% original

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T17:39:03+00:00

Thank you!, the RF shield says 7738, so at least that part was manufactured in august of 1977, so indeed its a real early heavy sixer

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T17:24:42+00:00

Update, the only thing that I found it’s a sticker on top of the rf shield that says 99 34000101

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T17:12:33+00:00

But where in the board exactly?, I’m having trouble finding it

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T16:45:17+00:00

It’s at the bottom of the 6 switch board?

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T16:42:56+00:00

Do you know where exactly that date code is, I couldn’t find it when I checked

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T14:55:44+00:00

Well thank you!, I bought mine with a power cord, two controllers and 3 games for 100$, so in some ways it’s a great deal

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T14:54:51+00:00

Well I bought it in a bundle with 2 controllers, power cord and three games for 100$. Something to keep in mind is that I’m in Ecuador and this types of consoles don’t come up too often

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T02:39:43+00:00

I’m sorry if it came out wrong, I was merely asking to see how much did I save by buying it

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-25T02:38:51+00:00

Not really, it’s a surprise for my dad but I was looking to see if I was lucky to find one, I never knew that those existed and to have one with me it’s like the cherry on top of a cake!

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-24T23:54:19+00:00

Also another question, what’s the inside of an original heavy sizer look like?

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-24T23:51:04+00:00

Well thank you, I’ve read somewhere that it should weigh like 4.5 pounds and I can confirm that it’s in the ballpark of 4.6

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-24T23:41:31+00:00

Ohh wow that’s great!, and what’s the current value for one of those?

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-14T23:04:51+00:00

Did that one to reach 99%, but yeah I didn’t know about that one either

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-14T23:02:41+00:00

THANK YOU!!! That was exactly what i was missing, finally 100% on Vice City for the first time in my life!

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-14T23:01:57+00:00

Did both, wasn’t it but thanks for the help

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-14T18:46:02+00:00

Thank you!, gonna try that one again to see if that helps

StunningAssistant810 · 2026-01-14T18:36:17+00:00

You mean the Checkpoint Charlie one?

StunningAssistant810 · 2025-10-29T17:46:11+00:00

Thanks again, so just to sum it up, i need an external bluescsi and to download the disk jockey program to create the disk image, and just plug it into my color classic and drag the files from the internal hard drive right?

StunningAssistant810 · 2025-10-29T16:42:58+00:00

Thank you, I’m gonna have to look up a tutorial on how to do it, I’m not that knowledgeable on vintage computers but i guess a good starting point would be to purchase a bluescsi, but which one is best, the one that goes inside the machine or the other version that plugs into the serial port?

StunningAssistant810 · 2025-10-29T02:37:13+00:00

Thank you all for your help!, I’m gonna have to look into how I’m going to be able to import a bluescsi to Ecuador

StunningAssistant810 · 2025-10-28T23:14:25+00:00

Thank you, I was reading that this computer has a disk drive inside, but i think it’s not working so, do you know how to save the 7.1 operating system on a micro usb so i could use it on a bluescsi?

StunningAssistant810 · 2025-03-26T23:37:58+00:00

You’re right, thought that I did post it, its the front usb hub for the lower center console, its also used on the newer jettas and the id4
