@Shquata, what's the deal with the 5 white folders, are they manuals or a list of all game carts you have? Again sorry for the late reply , been busy , you know BINGO NIGHTS at the HOME .... Well the the 3 smaller ones are the Manuals , Warranty Cards and other stuff that came with the games. The 2 larger ones have my copies of " The 2600 Connection " news letter. How's that for being Neurotic , Obsesive , Compulsive and any other term you can think of !!!!

As for the Plastic cubes , some are the one's made for card collections and the others are those clear plastic picture frames and actualy do not have any backs on them (oh! God , my dirty little secret is out , sure hope the Atari Police are not listening ) . Have to figure out a good solution to that. Something maybe along the lines of either a hard backing -cardboard or plexiglass and then "tacky glue" so you can still get it off if you need to .They are good because they come in so many sizes / bad because of the no-back thing. I have a suggestion for that. Use two pieces of clear packing tape. Measure both, so that the shorter piece is the same width as the opening in the back. Make the other piece an inch longer. Put the shorter piece in the middle of the longer one(sticky sides together), this should leave you 1/2 inch of tacky-tape on each end. Secure the tape to the case. The shorter piece of tape negates the "sticky" part of the other piece, so your carts won't stick and potentially get damaged. That would work . Maybe I will actualy put some type of backs on them soon. I have to move some stuff around for some new additions.

Thanks , sorry for the late reply , have not been by the forums for a while. They only let us on the computer once a week at the OLD FOLKS HOME !!!

At the security checkpoint, all guests must leave an open credit card authorization for damages, shower, and wear a clean-room suit. A Decontamination Area a must in Every House Containing Anything Related to the Atari 2600. And possibly the addition of Death Penalty for any 2600 related crimes ?? Some of this is going on 32 Years old....older than some collectors ! ...... now let me see , that death Penalty thing.........., did I say my Current wife in another topics post ? hmm just kidding ....or am I ...ha ha ha , Ha Ha Ha Ha , HA HA HA HA

Hmmm , but then I would actualy have to GET ON the the equipment ! Next thing you know , you'll expect me to REALY USE THE EQUIPMENT !!! How Dare You !

Yes , not in the best of condition but decent. Like to have some odd-ball stuff in the mix. Thanks and Thanks to everyone for actualy paying attention to this. The 2600 is truly one of my best memories. although not a childhood one. In 1977 I was already 24. We purchased our first one , around the time just after I first met my wife , not sure of the year , 1980 I think , a Sears Arcade since I had to use my Sears ( very proud to have one at the time) Charge Card . PS3 , XBOX .... HA . you are joking ? ATARI 2600 the KING I SAY !!!!!!! and you all better Bow your heads when you read that line !!! Thanks again to everyone for the replies and for keeping the 2600 alive !!!! The Old Guy

Oh yes . I actualy had a few 5200's 2 and 4 ports thru the years but being an OLD MARRIED guy , had to cut down the Treasures. A 5200 will be added back in just like the larger TV as soon as I come across one at a decent price . Dam those pesky things I have to pay for like food and a house realy cut into the ATARI budget ! At first I had started doing All the old systems , well all I could find. But that got out of control !!! Then it went down to just the 2600/5200/7800. Then it was down to just the 2600 . I did hold onto a 7800 and a few games and a Vectrex and a few games . When I do add in the 5200 , both that and the 7800 will come out but at a much smaller degree ( who am I kidding ! ). The Vectrex comes out once in a while , but I realy need a STAR CASTLE for that . Had the Stand-Up when I was tending Bar at Friends Bar at back in the very early eighties (told you I was old) and the wife and I were hooked on it along with Space Invaders. Sorry to ramble on and on ....but my son re-ignited my collecting bug which ran hot/cold for a long time .

Thanks , as for the TV , I had a Larger Newer one , but thought it " NEEDED " a vintage set . As soon as I find a Larger Old set in my hunts , It will get added.

As for the Plastic cubes , some are the one's made for card collections and the others are those clear plastic picture frames and actualy do not have any backs on them (oh! God , my dirty little secret is out , sure hope the Atari Police are not listening ) . Have to figure out a good solution to that. Something maybe along the lines of either a hard backing -cardboard or plexiglass and then "tacky glue" so you can still get it off if you need to .They are good because they come in so many sizes / bad because of the no-back thing.

Most of this (%90) is from yard sales over many years. After all I was already old in 1977 Click It !!!

Hey , my son stole my Heavy Sixer !!!! Just kidding.....well about the theft , yeaadudee actualy is my son.
