oldjd Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ok,I posted this couple months ago,but have a several more offerings. My wife does these covers for consoles,and they look pretty darn good. There are some wrinkles in odd spots on the pictures,but thats because she had to use consoles that were missing parts(joysticks) etc. Anyway,when I posted last time,I had alot of you who had interest,but wanted Atari/Coleco etc insignias. Theres a couple of reasons she cant do that,one being copyrights,the other the expense to digitize the logos to work on the embroidery machines. Take a look at the pictures,as you will notice theres a couple different colors now,and more offerings. Basically she can do just about any console made. She can also personalize them,with your name if wanted. So.....take a peek...your input is welcome and of course your business is appreciated.I have more pictures,of different consoles if your interested Price is $15.00 plus shipping,which would be cheap. And finally,Al,yes that Al,got one from us awhile back,and was pleased with it,so if you want the seal of approval from a recognized authority,Im sure he will vouch for her. Thanks all Jerry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videogamecollector123 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 If you had any for the vectrex that would be awsome, the originals are way to expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldjd Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 To answer some of the questions 1)Yes will ship to Canada 2)Yes on the Vectrex,but....I dont have a "carcass" to use for fit,so if your willing to get dimensions,it can probably be done. 3)What she has made so far: Atari 2600 Atari 5200 atari 7800 Atari Rainbow atari 5200 Trakball Intellivision 1 and 2 Colecovision Nintendo Super Nintendo Sega Dreamcast Sega genesis And as I mentioned previously,she can add some personalization to it, like your name or if you call the console some kind of pet name. sony Playstation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nonner242 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey oldjd.. Did that pic file I sent you ever work with your machine? If not this is the place to ask about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjd Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Ya know,I tried to open that file,and then I tried some more.And I finally came to the conclusion that either Im to stupid to figure it out,or I dont have the program to view it. If you have suggestions or something I should have to open it,let me know. Old dogs can learn new tricks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanallan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 oldjd, things happen late here in El Paso, gas is up, jobs are down and I've been pinching every penny and whenever I buy something for myself I feel guilty, so I haven't been spending too much at all (really, maybe five bucks a week-- way down from earlier even this year). As for a personal saying, something like: IF YOU TOUCH MY SATURN GOD WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LOCUSTS WITH SHOTGUNS SO BACK OFF When I get funds I will give you another shout. But that's what I'd like on my cover whenever I do get one. I didn't see it on that list, so I would also send dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videogamecollector123 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't have the money right now but I might have it soon, but if you just want the vectrex dimensions they are 9¾ x 11½ x 14½ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectrexMad! Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) I don't have the money right now but I might have it soon, but if you just want the vectrex dimensions they are 9¾ x 11½ x 14½ If these covers become available for the Vectrex I would definitely like to buy two, possibly even three. regards VectrexMad!

VectrexMad! Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) and with Vectrex logos printed/sewn on the covers would be cool. Most homebrewers use the Vectrex logo in their artwork, but if you are worried about copyright a home made logo syaing Vectrex is also fine for me. Edited October 8, 2009 by VectrexMad!

whovian Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've never really thought about these before, but I have a nice Sears Atari II I may get one made for. I think the dimensions are about the same as the Jr. Can you do them for the PS1 or 2 as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjd Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 If someone can post a pix of the vectrex unit that would help. Yes can do Playstations. Like I said I have the majority of the consoles that she has made the covers for here.That way she can fit them correctly. If any of you have a console that you want a cover for ,that we dont have.Pictures and dimensions will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldjd Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for the reference pictures.Does the bottom section with the joystick fold up into the unit?And if it does is it flush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videogamecollector123 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Thanks for the reference pictures.Does the bottom section with the joystick fold up into the unit?And if it does is it flush? Yes it the joystick folds into the system, it underneath an overhang from the screen and even is still flush with the system around it.

Videogamecollector123 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) would it be possible to get a vectrex cover that looked like this Thats a vectrex original dust cover and I would like one that at least looks like the original, originals go for over 100 dollars Edit: ok the image didn't show up so heres the sight where I got the picture http://www.vectrex.nl/gfx/misc/dustcovers.jpg Edited October 8, 2009 by Videogamecollector123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videogamecollector123 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 heres a better picture of it in this album http://www.tumalo.com/jabber/vectrex-gaming-system/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videogamecollector123 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 So yeah, if you can make it similar to that I would definetly buy it as soon as I got the money and I'm sure a fair share of people on ebay would want one as well.

oldjd Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 The one link,really didnt show much.The other shows the cover,but its hard to get a idea of perimeters by looking at it. Thats why I usually let her use a "carcass" so that she can get the exact fit. Anybody have a Vectrex carcass they want to donate for about a week?lol See,in looking at the picture it appears that there are heavy sewn seams at the corners,and I dont know how practical that could be. If you look at the pictures I posted of the atari units theres a bit of slack at edges,so that it doesnt fit so tight,that you have to fight with it Btw Iwan,my wife said thank you for the compliments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianoid Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 yeah, I definitely would want a vectrex cover- I said that in your last post. I think that they don't do much complexity on the embroidery designs. It's unfortunate that you can't do 2 tone designs, I think that would be worth another $5 to folks. As in single color logo taken from the web. There could be copyright issues, but I doubt anyone would care about Vectrex or some of the others at this level.
