Albert Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I need to replenish my stock of donor Atari 8-bit carts. I'm looking for the common brown carts produced by Atari--the ones with the metal back. If you have several you can offer me, please send me a PM. Several would be ten or more, generally, to help better distribute shipping costs. Also, if you happen to know of a source for such shells, I would not be adverse to acquiring such information. Here's a picture of the particular style of cartridge I'm looking for: Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qix_maniac Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Al, how do I get Beef Drop and Castle Crisis you state above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have copies of Castle Crisis, but I can't make any more Beef Drops at the moment until I get more boards. Here's Castle Crisis: http://atariage.com/store/index.php?l=product_detail&p=274 ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Maybe ask Steve (classics) about the shells he uses on Atarimax carts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceDice2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) I have quite a few Al, but as you know, A8 carts don't hold up so well. Dirt gets in those damn cracks etc. Plus, they are still good for trades. Even the common ones. Let me see what I have. I probably have 10 copies of Atari basic.

+David_P Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 One other option might be Brad Koda at Best Electronics http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/ - he's got warehoues of stuff that's not all listed on his site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF he actually made his website so you could actually find something then he may not have warehouses full of stuff. I can NEVER find how to get to the items that he has for sale.

(I maybe a little harsh as I am a web developer.) Actually B&C and Best Electronics websites are awful. But as written by spookt, Best Electronics catalogue is worth the price, not only for people interested in buying stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 I haven't had any luck locating Atari 8-bit shells, so I'm looking for common 8-bit carts (Pac-Man, BASIC, etc.) that people might want to part with. Thanks, ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Weird, Last I talked to Brad at Best he had lots... Guess he's restricting supply, or at least bumping the price (I know B&C did that to someone I know who was trying to get some) Have you thought about asking Classics/Atarimax where they get theirs? Or maybe the GR8 team? I know they are different types than you are looking forbut might be a work around...

BillC Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I notice that B&C has increased the price to $10 from $3. PRA016 CASE 8-BIT CART ATARI 10.00 You can find them at Best Electronics website in the 10-07-10 Rev.10 Catalog Addendum for $4.95 Page 103 Atari 400/800/XL/XE Empty Game Cartridge with metal back.
