Hey all! Back to normal uploads! Today is Episode 7 and I'll be going over the Atari 2600! This is the longer version of the video. I'll also have a shorter version available as well. In both I go over a brief history, specs, and my experience refurbishing an original 6-switch. The longer video contains additional disassembly/reassembly footage if that's your cup of tea.
