+cmart604 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hey guys, I just wanted to mention that I had picked up a couple of the Intellivision protective covers that oldjd's wife makes and just got them today and they are awesome. I've PM'ed oldjd to post some pictures here and to maybe give you an overview of the story around these which I believe involves his wife contacting Keith Robinson and getting his blessing to use the running man logo as well as the Intellivision script. She has done a great job getting the sizing right and the sewed logo and script looks really cool on my loose Tandyvision. I believe she also makes these for a number of other systems and I for one will be getting more of these. I think it's important to support those who do cool things like these that enhance the enjoyment of our hobby. To be clear I am not a paid spokesmodel. (Unlike Rev, who could be a great hand model) I'd highly recommend contacting oldjd about these covers. Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowCoder Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, I've heard the same about the covers. Supposed to be good stuff. oldjd gave me her email address one time, and I emailed her about getting a number of covers for various systems, but she never wrote me back. My wife is wavering on doing it herself because she thinks she'll have some say in the materials used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tz101 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Nice looking products from Barb, but I like my classic consoles uncovered. How else will I enjoy looking at their inherent beauty? Same reason I have never bought covers for any other systems in my growing collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same reason I have never bought covers for any other systems in my growing collection. Agreed that I'd like to be able to see my consoles, but I have lots of dust, so that's a big consideration for me. Maybe Barb is able to create covers from clear plastic?
