Donny Swanny Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 My home-made carousel for my Colecovision games! Old 8-Track carousel off of eBay, modded to hold 24 games — I’m still re-collecting, this will house all my OG Colecovision games and the Homebrew will go back in their boxes with the protective casing. The 4 colors are taken from the SAC trigger buttons, custom decals of the old-school arcade logo... painted over the wood plastic and then sealed with Mod Podge. The slots had to be resized to hold the games just right. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I really like your holder a lot! Very nice work. 6 Stacked would hold the whole original library of US titles. How did you size mod the slots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice work. 6 Stacked would hold the whole original library of US titles. How did you size mod the slots? I got help from people more skilled than me! I was having a really hard time finding a way to store games when I rebought a system last summer. I had a 12 slot case as a kid and couldn’t find anything I liked on eBay or Etsy, but I came across 8-Track options when I was searching. They’re originally just a little too wide and too deep. I’m a teacher, so the wood shop teacher put a false back in and closed up the bottom of the tray slots to hold the games; painted everything black. The art teacher painted the SAC colors and I gave the logo to a former student who re-rendered it to specifications for Sticker Mule. I touched it up with a black paint sharpie and coated it after putting the decals on. Once I get all 24 games I’m going after I’ll track down labels, get high quality prints and protect them with wide packing tape trimmed with an exto-knife and all the missing overlays as well. Beyond that I think I’ll get the SD Multi-Cart and Steering Wheel & Roller Controller and call it good aside from the occasional homebrew that catches my attention. More than you asked for, but I hope that answers it for you! Edited February 12, 2020 by Donny Swanny Correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
