Clint Thompson Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Does anyone know of any Atari outlets that sell these switches and possibly have more information behind the actual switch used? Was it off the shelf or Atari-specific made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyberTech Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Does anyone know of any Atari outlets that sell these switches and possibly have more information behind the actual switch used? Was it off the shelf or Atari-specific made? I went looking for switch info and did not find any. Is your button stuck from a cola spill and could be fixed with a cleaning? Ah, someone from Indiana! Hope that at the end of the month, you can check out http://IndyPopCon.com and check out my daughters http://weirspace.com/ booth. She has been a game developer for the last 14 years now. I got her addicted at an early age. If you see True World Gaming, that is me. Say hello. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm guessing the switch isn't self-contained and it's a motherboard contact or? Does anyone know? Thanks for the Popcon link, I'll have to check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I'm guessing the switch isn't self-contained and it's a motherboard contact or? Does anyone know? Thanks for the Popcon link, I'll have to check it out! If it weren't so hot up there in the attic, I'd go look in my 5200 graveyard. Surely somebody here has torn into them enough to know. I just don't remember. If by some very strange set of circumstances nobody has the answer, let me know and I'll go check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSW Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Best Electronics sells the power switch, console button, and switch spring for a total of $3.50, well, according to their last catalog anyways. Give Best a call, I'm sure he still has it in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kida0723 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Doesn't best have a minimum dollar amount to ship an order? Edited May 17, 2014 by Kida0723 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 It's been a while but when I emailed about the power switch and the black plastic on/off button, I was told they were out. Does anyone know if they have them or not? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 I've already been in touch with them and indeed they do have them in stock. $3.50 for the three pieces and I'm ordering quite a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
