[MrAtari2600]

Ok well my friend said if i got him something off of ebay for him

he would give me his atari 2600 JR system

seeing as it has a differnt casing then the Jr systems i had i looked and said OK

So he gave me it,

its missing all the screws

works fine,

cleaned it myself

Not a flaw!

I don't know where to buy such a product seeing as it could be a special size or something,

Depressing held together on my shelf staring at scotch tape. -.-'

Just curious if anyone heard of people selling screws or where etc.

If you know what the original screws look like, it shouldn't be too tough to find a suitable replacement. Start taking apart everything in your house, you'll probably find some.

 

I just popped one out of this Jr I have here. They're really nothing extraordinary: a .5 inch long pan head, phillips screw. After eyeballing it, it looked like somewhere between a #6 and #8.

 

If your only source is a hardware store, I was able to put in a #8 x 1/2" pan head, phillips, sheet metal screw in 4 of the holes. The head was too big for the hole in the center toward the back edge of the console. Probably could get by just fine without that or find some with a smaller head. Just screw them in slowly.

 

I'd try a #6 in there first, but the #8 took very little convincing and the original screw tightened down just fine when I put it back in the hole.
