kenjennings Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I noticed a couple of years ago that they had parts for the Okimate 10 as well. It's intriguing. Is there really some Sears warehouse with parts for stuff dating back 30, 40, 50 or even more years? No, they have no inventory at all. The warehouse is a wormhole that goes back in time to get what they want. I wonder if I can order an Ark 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClausB Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Mimo, I'd be willing to see what comes if I order a 400 door for you... With shipping to me it would be $14.96 plus whatever it costs to get it to you. Let us know what they send you, please. Curious what a substitute Atari part looks like. Maybe like those non-OEM parts the body shop puts on your smashed car? Notice that the site also lists the whole door assembly with shield and label but without a price, just an 800 number to call about it.

Rockin' Kat Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 They have a page for Intellivision controller parts too. What do you suppose a "video swt" is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Cool, but most of that stuff they'll still have in stock in 2052 at those prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kogden Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 In 2052 I'm sure some folks would be more than willing to pay it. I'll be 70 then....probably be doing pretty good to be breathing. Anyone got an old Atari parts catalog or something with pricing? It would be funny if the prices are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I tried to order a bunch of stuff from Partstore.com to restore an old turntable. In the end they cancelled 99% of my order and sent me a bag of 10 screws.... then charged me an outrageous shipping and handling fee. So, I don't tend to trust part searches anymore. I think you get combined results from a bunch of suppliers and no one knows what's actually there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Obviously none of you have been to a Sears Parts Depot, the one in Delaware was in the same place for 40+ years, and basically any part they had in stock, would stay there until it sold, no matter how long... I actually asked this when I was there with my Dad back in the '80's... they showed me the warehouse, and the building was over 1000' long, and 300' wide... The building is still there, but they moved to a new building about 3-4 years ago, this would have meant it was in the same building since the mid 60's sloopy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloopy Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) This is the old building... maps.google.com/maps?channel=fs&q=200+MacArthur+Dr+Newport,DE&oe=utf-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl And this is the new building they moved into 3-4 years ago... http://maps.google.c...=en&sa=N&tab=wl Edited March 14, 2012 by sloopy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Yeah, all that's probably one of the reasons that Sears/K-Mart isn't doing so hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 They have a page for Intellivision controller parts too. What do you suppose a "video swt" is? video switch, probably to choose between channels 2/3 or 3/4 for the RF modulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliecron Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 A couple years ago I cleaned out a guys basement of Atari 8-bit equipment, he sais it was his fathers who passed away. He said his father used to work in the repair department here at Sears in Chicago repairing Atari's, one of the cool things I got from that lot was this book, a Sears repair manual for Atari's. Has schematics and everything. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 If they had the plastic drop-down front flaps for the 1084S monitor... now THEY would sell like hot cakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ransom Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Very interesting, charliecron. I've never seen one of those. That's a really nice -- and useful -- item to have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has schematics and everything. That is sweet. You know what would be even sweeter? A high res or fairly high res scan of that cover image to at minimum use as a computer desktop background, or better yet, to print as wall art. It's beautiful and so "period" looking. -- just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Wizard Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Just did a search for an 800xl part C061428 came back with Ic M74ls138p substitution 46-13782-3 $5.31 add to cart seems worthwhile checking some other Atari part numbers to see what they have in stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 SIO socket anyone? http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/C012995/0003/637?pathTaken=directMatch&filterPart=&pop=flush&prst=0&shdPart=C012995 1meg paddle pot? http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/C010464/0049/637?pathTaken=directMatch&filterPart=&pop=flush&prst=0&shdPart=C010464 Looks like they have tape belts too, but super expensive ($7.99 for a single 1010 drive belt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblenkle Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I did a search for the Coleco ADAM and it says, "We've got thousands of Coleco repair parts and accessories for your everything ."...but then right below that it says "0 Coleco CATEGORIES FOUND" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) Really? Atari 400 parts still available from Sears? The answer is NO! I ordered a couple plastic parts just to see what would come and I just had the order canceled for no stock available.
