How many of you would be interested in getting together a pool to make
new Atari 2600 and Vectrex cartridge cases?
I've made up many Atari 2600 cartridges, and I've never had a hard time
finding used carts to recycle for the casing. There are enough Pac-Man,
ET, and Space Invaders cartridges out there for decades of homemade
carts. Besides, even if you had new cart cases made up, you'd still need
the boards from used carts anyway. Unless, of course, someone makes
those again too.
Atariage.com sells various types of PCBs for the 2600, 5200, 8-bit, and
Coleco
Vectrex, on the other hand, is a different beast. Not
a lot of Vectrex
carts out there. Now, if you make up cases for those - I'll buy some -
provided that someone sends me a Vectrex, that is... <grin>
The Vectrex consoles themselves aren't that hard to find.
