(quite) early production Atari VCS unit on Ebay

Look at this auction on eBay, everything looks very cool and the boxes all look great. Even though the console has 6 switches, is is not the rarest Atari VCS type around, you can tell because the box does not include the Chess symbol like this one (but $999 for an Atari VCS ....)

Regardless, I really like this lot, it is now at $65 + shipping which makes it too much for me, but it wold really look cool in a museum shelve. Surely better than my Sears 4 switches :)

nice, really nice. It is probably from 1977 or 1978.

  1. I'm pretty sure this is like the one we had before we got the NES. It came from my step-father's family, so I don't know if they had bought it new or used.

  2. You had one with 6 switches? Cool. They moved to 4 switches after a couple of years and replaced the last 2 by some sliding buttons on the edge to chose between easy and hard level.
