fred Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 This isn’t mine, but I thought someone might find it interesting. I’ve heard of these white shells being made for dental equipment, but have never seen one for sale: https://merc.li/rsKt3Wh9b 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 The molding was sold to a company that made white shells for dental equipment, xrays I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stage_1_Boss Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 I wanted to get a white Jaguar shell and commission an artist to church it up all fancy, I thought that'd be really neat, like character art on it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The other issue now is that the NOS (New old Stock) motherboards have dried up. So without those; the demand will be limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosquare Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Albert (AtariAge's owner) had them a few years ago. I don't know if he still does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio F Software Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 It always confused me as to why the Jaguar mold (specifically) was sold to some random company to make dental X-ray equipment. Did this sale happen because Atari was bleeding out financially and they thought this would somehow stop things (even if temporarily)? Do companies even technically "own" the "rights" to the molds used to make console shells? I mean I know companies own the likeness rights to their own hardware and thus own the "look" of them on technicality but this could've also been a case of the company who was responsible for making the console shells doing business under the table and reusing a mold that had been out of use for years by that point instead of going through the trouble of making a whole new one. Atari was too busy dealing with their own financial issues at the time to probably even notice or take action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris K. Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 That happened because they did not even care anymore. You can find a video on Youtube where the buyer (and maker of the dental equipment) gets interviewed and explains all this and even shows some documents from the very short contract for his purchase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 ....so they made white and blue/white ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UHATEIT Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Man that white shell is gorgeous. Wish I had snagged one before they went up high in price. There was a white pearl/dark blue one someone posted back a few years ago that was on ebay for like $60. I also like those clear ones people have posted before! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I grabbed one of those White/Blue-pearl ones. They look really nice. I got it a couple of years back. It was kinda expensive but I bet they go for more now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
