Manufacturer description
The Heavy Sixer was manufactured for the 2600’s first production run in 1977 in Sunnyvale California and has a much thicker and heavier console base. Everything works very well. The six aluminum switches are all cleaned/lubricated, hand polished and shiny and look very nice.
