+KylJoy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Not sure where to put this type of info. I think we should share this type of info somehow showing how the box inserts were made since they are usually missing. The next post will be my first attempt at doing this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KylJoy Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Atari joystick box insert: The box is 8 1/8 inches long. It is 3 1/2 x 4 inches rectangular. It is closed by a 1/2 inch flap glued to the inside. The cardboard is corrugated and barely thicker than 1/16th inch. The cardboard is not as thick as 1/8th inch. The corrugation runs around the box, not lengthwise. The corner of the box with the glued flap has no cuts or folds to hold the joysticks and neither does the opposite corner. The other two corners have cuts in them making 1/2 inch wide 1 inch reverse corners (they flip inward after the joystick is inserted) to hold the joysticks in the box and another two 1 inch cuts 3 1/2 inches apart making the center part fold in to hold the joystick bases in place. The cuts making all of the inward folding corners seem to be 7/8 to 1 inch each side. You should insert joysticks so that the cords rest in the box opposite of each other. Also, you have to manipulate the sticks to avoid them from touching and keeping you from inserting the sticks all the way. The sticks will need to slide in next to each other when inserting. See images for more measurement detail. Now, if I could get this info for my Intellivision II box I'd be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+KylJoy Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Anyone out there that can show us how to make Intellivision or Intellivision II cardboard box inserts for those of us with the original boxes without the inserts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KylJoy Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Bump. Need instrructions and measurements for Intellivision and Intellivision II box inserts. Others? How about Atari 2600? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Biagi Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hi KylJoy, one of my projects (with Igallair) is the Atari 2600 replica box (one of the many variants) and Igallair's been most valuabe as my collaborator and sent me this from his box. It's just the picture for now, because he was asking if I would need it, and I rememberd this post and asked him to send more detailed info or even the measurements. If there's progress I'll send more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
