Atari 2600 Junior Single Chip Portable

[TrekMD]

Here is a video by Ben Heck showing how he made an Atari 2600 Jr Portable unit using the single-chip Junior model.  It's almost an hour long but quite interesting to watch.  Apparently, this project sat in a junk box for several years before it was found again in the fall of 2018.  He worked on it through 2019.  Check it out...
