Another Heavy Sixer for sale on Goodwill auctions. Looks like it is in good condition, and will probably sell for relatively cheap. No guarantee it works though.

Couple of Atari purchases in the past week.
First the Sears Atari 2600 Heavy Sixer. I think this is now my favorite 2600 in my collection. Very good condition, once I cleaned it up. Originally didn’t work, but it was because of dirty contacts. Also the AC plug was mangled, but I fixed that up. Working great now. Came with a lot of 20 games, one being a pink labeled Laser Blast cartridge. Usually Laser Blast has an orange label. I had fun with that on the Atari Age forums.
Also purchased an Atari 800 computer with 15 cartridges. Bought an USB SIO Jack so I can upload more games to it. Atari 5200 games were based on the same chipset, so they are a relatively easy conversion. So with the converted files, and this adapter – should be able to play some of the Atari 5200 games (with a 2600 joystick!).

Funspot has their big tournament the weekend of May 28-31. If we want to go to this, we have to set it up now. Anyone interested?
A new all-time champion for arcade Gorf was declared, and this champion (John McCann) calls Altura, MN his home. Not only did he beat it, he smashed it. John’s score was 943,580. The old record by Todd Rogers was 653,990. This old record dated back to 1982. We loyal Minnesotans can be proud. Here is the Twin Galaxies article on this great feat.
