via this auction"It is a 2601 model and features the Arp 4072 filter. It is a really lovely sounding machine. The modules inside are not encapsulated, making it very easy to service. This is one of the more desirable 2600s in that along with not having encapsulated modules, Arp used better jacks on this model, that were hand-wired to the circuit boards. All slider caps are present, as is the original lid for the 2600 console and the keyboard. The keyboard is a 3604-P version, and works well. All keys trigger just fine. The keys are all a little stiff, but everything seems to work just fine (I mostly use the 2600 with step sequencers)."
Grey face with unpotted sub-modules. Interesting. I wonder who purchases and orange and black and swapped out the guts.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that too; I thought that only the orange ones had the 4072 filter. But upon further review, apparently there were overlaps. So this could be original.
ReplyDeleteActually - this is my 2600 up for auction, and this is not THAT uncommon. My second 2600, the one I am keeping, also has a 4072 filter with unpotted sub-modules.
ReplyDeleteIt is all original.
