Problems with Red label Atari carts and heavy sixers?

Recommended Posts

Maybe it's just my heavy sixer, but all that extra shielding makes insertion and removal of Atari red label carts REALLY difficult!!! I guess they were made just a bit thicker than any of the other carts. I just was curious if anyone else had experienced this issues and if there were any possible solutions out there.

I've had problems getting red label carts into 7800's and some 2600's from time to time, so you're not the first. Oddly enough, even the Berzerk Voice Enhanced with the pseudo-red repro label really has to be squeezed into the 2600 at my parent's house! (Label is peeling too :()

It occasionally happens with my Colecovision 2600 Expansion, which I use to save space in my Games Room. It seems to go only a little way in. If you force it, the tab breaks.

this is a very common problem

im always afraid to play venture for fear i'll tear the label

i also have this problem sometimes with my imagic carts

i think its mainly a heavy sixer thing (tho not restricted to them) so im going to try and pick up another console sometime and try it out

I had a similar problem with my heavy sixer and red labels carts, they work fine on my darth vader and my jr.

 

Maybe it's down to a certain production run?

yea ive always found a little bit of shaving on the consoles cart port goes a long way to ease insertion. or you could just try KY :-)

 

Thanks, Edit 5, I'm trying to do away with that ugly insult of a name. My 2600 is sexy.
