Albert Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I need some Atari 8-bit cartridge shells for an upcoming project. Does anyone know who's produced new shells and still has them available? Preferably the shells would work with standard Atari-shaped PCBs. Thanks! ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybird3rd Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Will you take original Atari shells? I've got a stack here that I've been meaning to ask you about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xebec Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Dumb question - are these shells all equal to the 'left cartridge Star Raiders' size or something different? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+David_P Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I have no shells - but I do have a smile on reading that Albert has an upcoming project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndary Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Best Electronics & B&C computer-vision used to sell these Atari XE or 800 Brown shells, but they are low on stock so they removed it from their site... i am not aware of any other source,,, the only option today is for someone to 3d print them. it would be nice if some one would produce them, maybe through a kickstarter project?.. so pepole like Lutharek, Santosp and the rest can use them for their projects as well..

Irgendwer Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 AFAIK not for the Atari std. PCB, but these should work: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/248913-who-is-manufacturing-atari-xlxe-cartridges-in-eu/?view=findpost&p=3436266 (Just for completeness - since you contributed to the thread, I'm sure you knew this already...)

SS Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Where does AtariMax get their shells? Do they 3D print them? I recall that difficulty in locating a consistent source for new shells is what put the breaks on futher production runs of "TheCart!" a few years back.

AtariMax cartridge enclosure have totally different PCB shape than the original Atari one. Edited August 20, 2017 by santosp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
