...sort of. Sears Tele-Games version. $6 for the naked and dirty system & a jittery set of paddles. I have an extra AC adapter & RF box, so all I need now is joysticks to complete it. Also bought a few games I didnt have.

For shiggles, I put a panel I had from a junk light sixer on it (second photo), wonder if I should leave it this way?

Now I think I just need an Atari H6 and I believe Ill have every version of the 2600.

I dig the wood grain. The late 70's and 80's were a fun time man...
 
I usually take the pots apart (since it's easy to do) and clean 'em with acetone, works wonders for those paddles. They never "look" dirty but theres always evidence on several q-tips.

So now, I have in the Atari 2600 lineup:

Sears H6er
Sears L6er
Atari L6er
Atari 4S Woody
Atari Vader
Atari Jr. older logo
Atari Jr. newer logo
Coleco Gemini

So I believe the Sears Video Arcade II & an Atari H6er is all that's left, unless I missed something?

I visit Goodwill on a weekly basis and hardly ever see retro gaming stuff. Only thing I've ever seen was an NES with no games for like $25 :(
 
Sweet score. I pulled out my 2600 sixer a while back but i dont have a power adapter for it. If anyone has an extra one they would sell me please let me know. I have tons of games for it but cant play them. Haven't came across one at the flea market yet either.

A buddy of mine hooked me up with a 5200 the other day too. I just need some games and controllers for it.

Just get a generic replacement for it. You need a 9VDC output with the center/tip positive. Anything 500ma or more is good.

Yeah, its getting to be pretty slim pickings around here as well. And, usually, when you find something, Goodwill has some insane price tag on it. They originally wanted $15 for this, but when I pointed out everything that was missing they agreed to take it down to $6. Scores like this one makes it worht the trip every week, you just never know. They acually told me that had a ton more Atari & NES stuff that someone donated but someone else already had bought most of it.
