How I fixed an Atari cart avoiding to mess up the Label

[atari70s]

Not bad maybe ill do that with the night driver game. but woudl you do that to a Quadrun game or a Music Machine cart. something rated a 8 9 or 10 ?how woudl you fix that if you were the owner?

It's the first time I receive a no-working cart due to a material problem....

Anyway I fixed it and now it works...

 

The most annoying thing for me was to open the cart avoiding to mess up the Labels...

 

I found a not so bad technique...

 

Pictures and explanations of this operation are on my site : Direct Link

 

any comment ?

Atari 70s,

Well, as my gamer side is strongest than my collector's one, I think I'll do it because a no-working cart is just a plastic box with a nice label for me....(sometimes I'm totally insane LOL)

 

But I'd do it ONLY if I'd be sure of the cause of the problem.

please note that I opened the Volleyball cart because I noticed that a circuit track was cut near the pin connector before.

 

Don't do it if you don't feel it !

I see that but id be more afraid to mess witha a rare cart than a more common and i bet that i would most rather have a rare cart with your little cuts ( and the cart works ) more than just plastic and labels.i know for sure that i would need help working on a rare cart. i like your thoughtwhat will you come up with next?
