VidGameKing Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I grew up with a 2600jr. and I never knew the joys of having wood... but I was thinking, I just got done fitting my new Sony Wega tv into an old television cabinet so it looks all old, but it's really new, but I was thinking a 2600 six switch would look mighty fine being prominetly displayed on top of the cabinet.whta do you guys think?

MegaManFan Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 This just reminds me why "woody" is a bad abbreviation for a woodgrain 2600. You either think of something phallic, or a smarmy movie producer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candiru Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 My wife put the ixnay on having Atari stuff outside of my game room, actually the Man Room as we call it, yes she actually calls it that too. I say go for it. Make sure you get some woodgrain modular cart holders with some choice games up there too. So how did you go about fitting this into an old TV cabinet? Did you have to hack your Sony TV up? We want pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VidGameKing Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 okay I work on pics tonight, but it wasn't hard, I had to take the sony apart and design a mounting bracket that would support the tube in my wood cab. and then I got a new piece of 1/4 particle board for the rear of the cab to replace the old one with all the old hook-ups on it, and I had to engineer the new one to fit up with the conections from the back of the sony. also I had to make a stand for the main tunner board thingy that was on the bottom of the sony that everything pluged into. The nice thing about the cab I chose is that the area where the TV controlls go is hidden by a flip door, so I was able to design a nice peice of plexiglass to mount the channel buttons, power, and such. the worst part is the little hole I had to drill to place the infared receiver so I can use the remote controll. all in all I think the hardest part was making a shrowed for the tube's front that looked like it was supposed to be there, and not some hack job. but all in all it worked well. I actually had to end up buying two Sony TVs because I jacked up the tube when I was working on a mount it was a costly mistake, but after that I was able to mess with the tube for sizing without having to be too carefull! come to think of it I should have documented the whole ordeal and placed it on my website, but alas, I was too eager to get the project done, because it was somthing i've wanted to do for a long time.

ussexplorer Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 At one time I was thinking of putting not only a tv in a wood cabinet but might as well chuck a record player and sterio in it too. Never got off the design board though. Thinking of the 60-70's style console television/other. Later, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VidGameKing Posted July 10, 2003 Author Share Posted July 10, 2003 yeah the cab I have was from the 70's it's pretty cool, it was a Philips TV it was color with a little black paper speaker for mono sound, but I fixed that, I threw in some sony X-plode speakers that matched the same impeadance wattage and such as the stock speakers from the sony, reason being, I want to have that crisp new TV sound, for longer than what cheap stock speakers ever do. i figured I was souping it up anyways why not go the whole bit! it's not that I'm actually going to use the stock speakers, I have a nice little surround system system that makes sound as awsome as it can be, you've never heard asteroids till youve heard it in 7.1 surround sound! but this cab. TV actually sets itself next to my screen area for my projector. asteroids is even better when viewed on a 8 1/2 foot diaganal screen. I think I'm going to create a "classic cornner" in my living room area that has like classic gamming posters and little toys on the ground from that time period too, and the great centerpeice being a 2600 woody on a cab. TV, and have people come over and see it and play it if they want to. yeah, that sounds cool, I'm going to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Umm...just throwing in new speakers into an old mono television won't make it have even stereo sound...let alone surround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Don't worry dude. I don't have a woodgrain either (I have a Jr), but I can hold back my temptations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
