rslocked Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I recently bought an Atari 2600jr and I didn't notice that there weren't pins in the device to hold the cartridge in and I can't play games because they would open and stay in the atari. Is there a way i can find replacement parts or is it possible to makeshift a set of new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Oooh, that's a tough problem. I would guess a makeshift fix (such as gluing on new pins) wouldn't last very long. You might search e-bay for a broken jr to borrow this part. Or buy yourself a harmony cart, jimmy it's cart slot open, put it in, and never take it out.

zylon Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I once "fixed" one of those by putting 2 very skinny screws through the slot from inside in the right positions. As long as you rolled the cart in from the front, it worked alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SabertoothRetro Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would order a new replacement 24-pin female cartridge connector from Best Electronics. It looks like they have a few to choose from so write Brad an email and tell him that you need one for a Jr. He'll make sure you get the right part. http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/2600_Tech_Tips.htm#based 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
