Heavy Sixer on Craigslist Seattle |
Last weekend I found this post on Craigslist Seattle with a photo of a heavy sixer in box,
a box with the chess piece no less !!! I texted right away asking for availability and price and got a text back, how does $50 sounds ? Sweet. I might have been bale to get it for less, but I was not going to risk having somebody bid over me and I wanted to be fair, so $50 was good.
I drove and met the original owner who was clearing hid dad's garage. The console has been in storage for 30 years it sounds like.
I got what I saw on the picture, a heavy sixer in nivce condition with a box that has the chess piece on it. But I wanted to check the joysticks, I opened the box, and saw the marvelous Cx-10 joystick, loaded with springs. It makes a nice click click on every direction, and the fire button has to be depressed deeply. I asked the owner, but apparently, there was no game in the garage, which I found strange seeing how cleanly the console was kept. And I saw 3 carts in the box when I fully opened it at home. Lose carts though, not too nice, but they must be from the first run. There was a coupe of catalogs from early 80s inside the box, so they might have bought more games, they are supposed to contact me if they find some.

Heavy Sixer Chess box |
I have seen many of these on eBay, except, I did not want to pay $200+ prices. I am glad I fund one by myself, just browsing for some stuff on CL.
Not I have an older one I
won on ebay, but that doe snot come with complete rays, CX-10s or the chess piece, so it is going back to eBay.
