2600 consoles and their veriants

[Niku-Sama]

alright this is where the guide is lacking, probally due to updating other parts the older stuff doesent get updated with fair market value very often which is understandable.

what are the variants worth? i am talking the main ones which i'll list

2600 6 switch (heavy sixer)
2600 4 switch (light 4)
2600 4 switch (vader)
2600 Jr.
Telegames Arcade 6 switch (sears)
Telegames Arcade 4 Switch (sears)
Telegames Arcade II (sears)

and also if the ones from california are worth more than the taiwan models what the price difference should be

isnt there a heavy 4 switch?
and going through my atari stock i notice my two 4 switch woodies are different.

my 2600A from california has a CX2600A sticker and the 4 top part of the case but the bottom half of the shell has all the mounting spots for a 6 switch AND the openings for the controler ports on the back.

whats up with that?

The Atari units usually go for a bit more than any of the Sears models. There isn't a significant difference in price between the different models besides the rare variants (Atari 2800/Sears Video Arcade II, Columbia Home Arcade, etc).

$5-$10 at most (if any difference).

No. The four switch boxes show a "heavy" four switch due to them simply airbrushing a heavy sixer for the photo.

Atari produced tons of odd variations as they used up old parts...nothing special really.
