I was born the last year that you could buy a 2600 new...and my dad grew up playing one as a kid. As a teenager playing a 6 switch model that was new when my dad was that age... Vintage was a kind description and Antique would have been slightly brutal (though I was starting to see 70s stuff in antique shops back then, and given some Ataris are 50 now it's certainly appropriate now).
