800 case - odds and ends, bits and bobs

[+DrVenkman]

I know this is a longshot, but does anyone know where I might be able to source some miscellaneous things for a "road weary" 800? For instance, one of the two door hinge springs is broken; one of the rounded rubber feet is gone, and the glued-on embossed Atari symbol on the front cover has some cosmetic chips and scrapes.

 

I don't hold out much hope for finding a new logo badge, but I might still be able to find an equivalent spring or a loose rubber foot from somwhere else. For that matter, I have a 600XL that is also missing two of its rubber feet, but they appear to be a different design compared to the 800's anyway.

 

Any suggestions from you fine folks?

You can check with B & C Computervisions or Best Electronics for the springs and badges...and I know B & C has the feet on Ebay. But I go to goodwill and get a used joystick for the feet. Best has a minimum order of $20.00.

From the Best catalog:

 

800 Door Spring CO14093 $1.50 ea

 

I don't see the labels for the cartridge door, but I bet they would have them. Bad news is there is a minimum order amount.

Thanks, guys. I've been meaning to order a few things from Best anyway in a couple weeks. I won't have any problem reaching $20. Actually, the problem will be keeping it under $75 ...
