Add Note Edit Step 10  ¶ 

  • The back of the Atari 2600 Motherboard has exactly nothing interesting on it, except a great appreciation for through-hole soldering and hand drawn circuits.

  • This model was revision 13. How lucky!

Add Note Edit Step 11  ¶ 

  • Behold the Atari in all five of its parts!

  • We give the Atari 2600 a big plus for repairability. Every component is attached via through-hole solder, so replacing a burnt out resistor or IC is quite feasible.

  • We're sad to say that we don't have parts for the Atari 2600, but we do have a brand new game console parts store to help keep your (slightly more modern) consoles running.

  • Keep an eye on our teardown page or blog for a detailed look at another retro game console tomorrow!
