IMBerzerk Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi. I'm having trouble finding a dust cover for my 2600. I'm an Intellivison guy, but I have a 2600 on display and would like to get a cover for it. Thanks JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+groundtrooper Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 There was at one time here on AA. Jerry the guy who was selling them passed away unexpectedly last year. They had some inventory on Etsy the last time I checked but it looks like they are done and have closed up the shop. ****Edit**** The shop it still there. I couldn’t find it originally when I searched for “Atari Dust Covers” but it is still there. They don’t show any Atari covers in stock but if you contact them I am sure you can have one made. ************* There are these covers that I found on Etsy. Very interesting way to do them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+groundtrooper Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I agree. I have one if Jerry’s 2600 and 7800 covers. I may grab 2 of those other covers for 2 other consoles that aren’t my daily drivers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I've purchased several of Jerry's covers too, including one for my custom Starplex controller (made by Kosmic Stardust). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldschool80skid Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Barb, Jerry's widow, is continuing on making the covers with her daughter. I would contact her through Etsy and inquire about a 2600 cover. The printerboy covers are ok, but nowhere as durable as Jerry's & Barb's covers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactus Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yeah, they look fantastic. I was thinking about getting ones for my SNES and Dreamcast. I love to get things that are made by people and not machines when possible. Sorry to hear about Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsteakraw Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I don't know how close the Light vs Heavy is but there is this dust cover that should show off the system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protomank Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Sorry to intercept the topic, but this is related. Does anyone knows if there are acrylic boxes for the Atari 2600 cardboard cartridge boxes? I found for NES, SNES but never found one for Atari. Enviado de meu Moto G (5) usando Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I get wanting to have a console cover, but Atari game box protectors? Really?! Have you ever paid over $1000 for a boxed game? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarifan88 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Have you ever paid over $1000 for a boxed game? No, thank God! I can't imagine blowing that kind of money on a game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Have you ever paid over $1000 for a boxed game? Anything over $100 I'd want a condom on it myself. EDIT: Hell any box just to make sure it stays in the same shape I bought it in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepguy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I own one of the pappa nannystuff console dust covers. Excellent quality construction fit and finnish. I would highly recommend one if you are looking for something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
