Yep they were a pain for sure. The console itself I never had a single issue with the controllers I can't remember how many I tried to repair or ended up replacing

I was comparing my new VCS to my old one and I noticed some differences. Turns out I got a rare promo version.

And,,, made in Sunnyvale, CA. USA!!!

"Atari VCS - CX2600A Promotional Console picture needed This looks similar to a standard CX2600A model, with a few minor differences. The piping around the switches is yellow instead of orange, and these models were manufactured in Sunnyvale as indicated on the underside of the unit. The box that these came in looks like a normal box except it has "Not for Resale, For promotional Purposes Only" stamped on the underside. We're not sure if there are any technical differences to the console, or if it was just an early edition of the new style for retailers to distribute in advance of sales."
