This is what Wikipedia has to say about this console.
In 1986, a new version of the 2600 was released (although it was planned for release two years earlier). The new redesigned version of the 2600, unofficially referred to as the 2600 Jr., featured a smaller cost-reduced form factor with a modernized Atari 7800-like appearance.
What a coincidence! I just picked up a 2600 six-switcher two days ago! I need to have the retro fake wood trim… this thing looks too much like a sinclair 😉
Ahh, the Atari 2600. I had the ‘woody’ and Im probably going to get another now. Andy, all this 8 bit pornography on your site is going to hurt my bank balance! Get to work on that time machine will ya?!
