moknbyrdx1 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I have several loose Vectrex carts and would like to make or find cases to put them in. Like the custom cases made for Sega and Nintendo carts with the wrap around insert. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlepaddle Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I used a Universal Game Case and have experimented with a few ways to hold Vectrex carts securely. On the left, I used a bit of hot glue and a plastic straw cut to fit. I set the cartridge where I wanted it wrapped in wax paper, applied the hot glue and squeezed a tall dab using the straw for support, with a little lip over the cartridge. After it hardened, I peeled off the wax paper. Seems to work well (but might cause a mess if somehow my carts sit too long in a hot attic or something). On the right, I just applied two "fuzzy dots" in strategic locations inside the UGC. I had to put another one over the top to hold down the cart down when the cover is closed. I got them at the dollar store, they're designed to put under lamps or small appliances when the original feet fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowes has some thick square pads that might do the trick. Great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
