kankan313rd: Cool, a light sixer made in Sunnyvale. That's in excellent shape. Most of the paint on the bezel is still there. Bravo, on your great find!

I ordered some reaper miniature paints, and I'm in the process of repainting the bezel on my heavy sixer and light sixer. I've seen the oil based pens that some have used on their units but it doesn't look right. I'm going to tape it off and use a primer first, the paint will be applied by an airbrush. I'll post pics of the process as soon as I get the paints in.

See my thread for my heavy sixers list.

Hi does anyone know the serial number scheme? Trying to date the heavy sixers...seems like they started with E....but at what number and when did it switch to F, G,H....can't seem to find a pattern. How many total Sunnyvale Heavy's were made? Thanks.

Just my opinion, but the H6 list is a little disorganized... not in numerical/alphabetical order, sears models out of category, etc. would really like to see a comprehensive list that is easy to follow.

atariluvr77: Yea I know its a lil disorganized...I'm the 2nd person to take over the heavy 6-switch list and the person that originally did it, at first had it organized but I think stopped...and how I do it is I just add to the list, with no organization mostly due to not knowing the 100% understanding of how the serial # scheme works...I know the general scheme of it, but not the entire thing.

All: I will post another update (hopefully) sometime this week or def. next week.

Gak! I was perusing back through this thread ... I'm really hoping some of these console owners have cleaned up their systems, or at least plan to! Sorry, just being nit-picky.
