Cartridge Storage Suggestions

[Madaracs]

Right now my carts are in shoe-boxes and storage bins. Does anyone have a suggestion of a way to neatly display your ColecoVision cartridges? Wall storage is preferred but I'm open to other options.

I wish I had the woodworking tools, I would love to make a wall hanging cartridge holder with a glass door.

Here's one I found, kinda hard to see the graphic on the front:

That thing is pretty sweet.

 

Probably not big enough for all the CV carts and some homebrews... but still very cool.

 

Any markings on who made it?

[retroillucid]

Hey! Thats a very nice gaming storage Charles!

Thanks retroillucid

 

Yurkie, your right it wouldn't hold them all. I can find no marking on who made it, I happened to find it at a goodwill a few years ago for a couple of dollars.

JEALOUS!

you can store them at my house.

These work well:

 

 

I have six of them and they slide together via some notches on the side. Usually can find them at GW. Work well for 2600, CV, and Intellivision carts.

I just use plain old book shelves. Its not fancy but gets the job done

Cool. What's GW?

Bookshelf: Yep. I might have to go that route... although I think I'll end up rebuilding my closet. I put shelves in but it wasn't very efficiently laid out...

This is what I'm currently using. I bought the shelf at wal mart for about $30. I am guessing that if you needed more shelves for it you could write the manufacturer.

Hi. tz101, i'd love to show pics.I do not own a digital camera.Is there a way i can upload pics from my PC to AA?.Excuse my ignorance! Oh yeah, what is the best kind of file for that, example, jpeg, bitmap, artfile, etc,The best i can do now is upload scanned pics from my PC, thanx!

That should work fine. Just scan the pics as either .jpg or .gif file format, then use the attachments "browse" button in the AA posting tool to locate the pics on your hard drive. Then, select "Attach This File" to insert it/them into your AA post, and it should work fine.

Here is my solution. I got me the Music Mates AND that sweet glass-faced cabinet. Love that thing.

okay, so I thought I was the only one with that sweet glass - faced cabinet. So now I know there is someone else, and you live pretty close to where I live, I'm in Sacramento. Where did you find yours, mine was a Goodwill.

Where did you come by all the "music mates"? I have six, but never see them at thrifts anymore, as in over a year.

[phaxda]

Bought mine on eBay, it was shipped from Florida. I was shocked that a) I got it for so little and b) the seller packed it REALLY well.

 

Love it.

 

MusicMates from various sources. They are out there.

My first post here on AtariAge.

 

Found this web site that has some video game organizers for sale that look like a good deal.

Those look nice, but drawback is they do not appear to be stackable. Also, I do not read where it states exactly what types of carts are supported.
