Zwackery Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 What are the little plastic cubes that you have your rarer carts (on the left) stored in - are those for some other type of collecting and have been re-purposed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetset Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Who cares? Man that is a sweet little setup! You do need you a bigger TV in the middle there... Oh, and a 5200. But very sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shquata Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 What are the little plastic cubes that you have your rarer carts (on the left) stored in - are those for some other type of collecting and have been re-purposed? 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.

Shquata Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Who cares? Man that is a sweet little setup!You do need you a bigger TV in the middle there... Oh, and a 5200. But very sweet. 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.

Shquata Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Who cares? Man that is a sweet little setup!You do need you a bigger TV in the middle there... Oh, and a 5200. But very sweet. 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) I'm thinkin' you need a custom arcade control panel added to that piece of exercise equipment there. Edited November 6, 2008 by BigO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shquata Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Very nice! Is that an HES Rad Action Pak down there on the left? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
