krambigmac #1 Posted March 2, 2006 It's bee a long time since I've posted on these boards but I was going through the Giant list and did not find this variation of Video Pinball on there. I also checked the website that is the update to the now outdated list and it wasn't on there either. It's a black picture label from 1981 with the black atari label partially outside the machine and it has no dust cover built in. aka a Cart 3. Either someone broke off the cover or I have a new variation. Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christophero Sly #2 Posted March 2, 2006 Does it have the open slots underneath the main label near the PCB end? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krambigmac #3 Posted March 3, 2006 Does it have the open slots underneath the main label near the PCB end? 1026954[/snapback] Excuse my ignorance but I'm not really tech oriented with lingo and all that. On the bottom where the circuit board is, to each side, there is a hole and from that hole there is a stick maybe a centimeter long that comes out of it. That isn't on the main label though. I have some red label carts that have 2 other holes on the front that from the inside, I can see the back of the label. If that is what you mean, no I don't have those two holes. Hopefully that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without those holes underneath the main label, I doubt it's an actual CART 3. Given that the label is ©1981, it's probably just a case of a missing dust flap. I'd have to see a photo to be completely sure. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do the sticks look like an original integral part of the cartridge, or could they be a later addition (by someone repairing a cart with a missing dust flap)?

krambigmac #6 Posted March 3, 2006 OMG I'm an idiot. I just pushed on the sticks a little bit... and up pops a dust cover. I thought I had something too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
