matt.zepess Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I need the foam rings that go on the switches on the atari 4 switch model. And one atari screw. I saw the foam on ebay for 10 but as a 15 year old I don't have much money, so if anyone has it for cheap then tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bah Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Sorry man, I don't have spares but all those rings do is block your view of the inside of the console. You could cut rings out of any thin material and block the view. Later when you get some original ones you can swap them out. Using a different color might even look good compared to the same old black everyone has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Buy a sheet of black felt and cut your own? It shouldn't cost more than a buck or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yes. That is what I did when restored sixes in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beleive your are partly right but I have cleaned too many consoles to believe they effectively stopped much! I think Atari marketing wanted them just so the aluminum top of the switches were hidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Anybody know what material they are made of? I could laser cut up a bunch and they could be available from Al. Not sure if Best still sells them or the aluminum strip. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanxp300 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I just ripped apart a junk system I had for the center card slot and the foam is thin like 1/16" and looks identical to window/ door weather stripping minus the sticky backside. They are about the size of a nickel. You can have my rings if you want them. I have 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey85 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Just hit one with a set of calipers and they're ballpark 1.5mm thick. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
