An old friend E-Mailed me from out of the blue to say hello and see if I might be able to stop by and help him hook up a printer he just got. So I stop over there, hook it up to his desktop and laptop, and while I'm there he goes, "Oh, before I forget I found something for you".

He comes back with a 2600 heavy sixer in the box. He was like, "This is just taking up space, and I'd hate to throw it away, but I know you're the guy that's going to appreciate it".

So I get it home, and the box is in really decent shape for the age. Definitely been chillaxing in a basement, but other than some moving scrapes and scuffs, the box is fully intact and structurally sound. Everything is inside including the original cardboard "tray", plus the original manual and warranty registration card which also has a free offer for a "Video Computer System Log Book". I'm sure some of the Atari collectors have filing cabinets stuffed with these Log Book things, but this is the first time I've seen one. I'm pretty excited for something that was completely free. I didn't have a heavy sixer box in my collection, and wouldn't have expected to find one is such nice shape.
