Yeah the MM6 box is in excellent shape. The only blemish is a small inch long crease at the top flap where it didnt bend properly. But I doubt I will find one in better shape in the wild. The Ocarina CE is also in excellent shape, the cart is still in the baggy and it has a receipt from 98 from Target
Found what I believe to be an Atari heavy sixer today. I knew most of what there was to know about them and the guy had three Atari's stacked up so it was easy to compare the weight as well. I have a Vader 2600 that is definitely, definitely lighter than this wood grain beast from Sunnyvale CA, but are there any ways to "debunk" having a heavy sixer? It checks out in terms of all the things you look for judging by videos I've watched, and it's definitely heavier, I'm just not totally convinced for some reason. If anyone knows anything let me know. Sorry for lack of pics I just brought the thing home.

Picture would help. Look for the curves at the sides.
It looks exactly like yours above and has Sunnydale on the back sticker. Like I said everything checks out, I just wasn't positive the heavy sixer was the only model to come out of California. Also everyone talks about how oh so heavy it is, and I mean it's heavIER for sure but on YouTube you'd think these guys were picking up a cinder block the way they behave when they lift one, so that threw me off a bit too.
Thanks for the help all.

Open it up. Heavy Sixer has a solid metal shell over the center of the circuit board as opposed to just the thin shiny stuff.

That's awesome. I love finding old receipts with games and consoles; passwords, codes and doodles are cool too.
