Albert Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Greetings! I'm looking for common 7800 games I can recycle into homebrew games for the 7800. I can also use the later Atari 2600 carts that either don't have a dust cover (these are identical to 7800 cart), as well as carts that have the dual-spring dust cover, which can be identified by a long, unbroken slot on the bottom of the cartridge. Carts should be clean and free from physical defects. Here are some things to look for which prevent me from using carts: - Stained carts are difficult to clean, due to the textured nature of the carts. Please don't send these! - Scratches, etchings (yes, people etched their names into carts), broken plastic pieces, etc. - Permanent markings on the plastic, which are even more difficult to remove than stains - Paint spray (yes, I see a number of carts like this). - One or more missing pegs. This is especially important with 7800 carts, which are made from a more brittle plastic. Please do not include carts that have one or more of the above "features"! I am also looking for 2600 and 5200 carts. I will pay for the carts (either via PayPal or Store Credit--I'm more generous in AtariAge Store Credit) as well as the shipping to get them to me. It helps if you have 10+ carts to send, as that helps divide out the shipping cost between them. Larger lots (50+ carts) are even better. Please PM me if you can help! Thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Bumping this topic, as I have two 7800 releases for the upcoming Portland Retro Gaming Expo, and I need to stock up on 7800 shells. If you have some commons you can sell/trade me, please send me a PM! Thanks! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I can probably get another batch of 2600 carts to you in the near future.. but 7800 cards have almost entirely dried out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great, thanks! I can use as many 2600 carts as you can spare. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Didn't you get molds made a few years back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mord Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Didn't you get molds made a few years back? It's something that really needs to be saved up for/kickstarted/fundraised/whatever regardless. For several systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Didn't you get molds made a few years back?Not yet. I have had several rounds of prototypes made, but need to go through one (hopefully) last round before I have molds made and carts produced. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeguychicago Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Is 10 the minimum you are looking for? I have some duplicate 5200 games but not 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
