pitfallaimee Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 All right, I'm getting lots of response and praise for my offer to make dustcovers, so here's something you can do to speed up the process. I need the complete measurements (and angles, if possible) of the following systems, which I either don't have, or have out on loan to someone else: Atari Jr 5200 7800 Thanks! I'm still not sure of the cost, but check back here, cause that's where I'll post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Aimee, I'm thinking the custom cover you make for me won't require measurement since mine will be stretchy. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallaimee Posted January 29, 2002 Author Share Posted January 29, 2002 Of course, Moycon. You'll get the one-of-a-kind, ladies stocking 2600 cover. I'll be sure to spray it with a sealant to keep it from getting runs, snags, and general ugliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Aimee needs to post a pic of her wearing them silver stockings...hehe... so dimensionally speaking...do you just need to know the rough lengths of the consoles...such as max height, etc?...or are you going to make them to fit the wedge shapes of the 5200 and 7800 units? Otherwise I need to get my buddy to start rendering in Lightwave again for that... wonder how he is coming along on that Heavy Sixer Model I commisioned him to do?

Albert Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 What material are you going to make these dust covers from? What color(s)? How much do you think you'll be able to make them for? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitfallaimee Posted January 30, 2002 Author Share Posted January 30, 2002 Hey, yes, I should be able to get them across the pond. I finished my mock up last night for the 2600, but I still need rough measures for other systems. When I get the yardage per cover, I'll be able to tell you the cost.

liveinabin Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 I'll mail you the vital statistics of the Jr. when I get home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallaimee Posted January 30, 2002 Author Share Posted January 30, 2002 Thanks! Oh, and if anyone's interested, I can do other colors--it's not a problem. You'd just have to specify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 Well I have a black Atari jr made in Ireland, so maybe it should have a cover made out of potato skins with a monogram of a pig on a bit of string Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallaimee Posted January 30, 2002 Author Share Posted January 30, 2002 Don't get snippy with me, mister! Oh, and -^Cro§Bow^- , try to drag your mind off of moycon's stockings, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitfallaimee Posted January 30, 2002 Author Share Posted January 30, 2002 Okay, folks, here's the run down, ballpark style: The actual material + plus my menial labor will pro'ly run around 5-6 dollars per cover, which isn't bad, plus the postage for gettin' em out to you. Right now, I'll be working in black/white and silver/black. Different colors may or may not add to the cost, depending on what I have and what I'll need to fetch from the store. Except in the case of moycon, who apparently wants his atari covered in ladie's stockings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicJoke Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 pitfallaimee: I would like a silver/black one for my 2600(Vader). How should I contact you? If you have PayPal, I could send you the money any time you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 quoteExcept in the case of moycon, who apparently wants his atari covered in ladie's stockings. And who wouldn't. Just remember...No runs, no coffee stains. Monogrammed with a big M. Oh wait, I also want it to say: This ATARI is the property of moycon. Please don't touch the ATARI or I will touch your face with my elbow. Thank you and god bless. That part doesnt have to be monogrammed tho...Can you monogram nylon stocking? Won't it cause a run? I don't want any runs mind you....Or stains. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
