Need source of 8-bit cart shells

[Albert]

I need some Atari 8-bit cartridge shells for an upcoming project. Does anyone know who's produced new shells and still has them available? Preferably the shells would work with standard Atari-shaped PCBs.

 

Thanks!

Will you take original Atari shells? I've got a stack here that I've been meaning to ask you about.

Yes, I love the original Atari shells.

Excellent, I'll keep my eyes open for it.

 

Thanks!

 

Anyone else have any Atari 8-bit shells?

Dumb question - are these shells all equal to the 'left cartridge Star Raiders' size or something different? Just curious

I have no shells - but I do have a smile on reading that Albert has an upcoming project

Best Electronics & B&C computer-vision used to sell these Atari XE or 800 Brown shells, but they are low on stock so they removed it from their site...

i am not aware of any other source,,, the only option today is for someone to 3d print them.

 

it would be nice if some one would produce them, maybe through a kickstarter project?.. so pepole like Lutharek, Santosp and the rest can use them for their projects as well..

AFAIK not for the Atari std. PCB, but these should work:

(Just for completeness - since you contributed to the thread, I'm sure you knew this already...)

Where does AtariMax get their shells? Do they 3D print them? I recall that difficulty in locating a consistent source for new shells is what put the breaks on futher production runs of "TheCart!" a few years back.

Definitely not 3D printed.

AtariMax cartridge enclosure have totally different PCB shape than the original Atari one.
