cwilbar Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I have a XEGS w/o it's top. It came into my possession that way. No idea what ever happened to the top to this XEGS. Hoping someone might have the top (with buttons), or a complete (empty) case, or even a non working XEGS. Let me know if you have anything matching this description. Thanks, -- Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwilbar Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 bump.... still trying to locate a top case for XEGS, or an entire case, or a dead XEGS for the case, etc.... no luck finding one so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, nothing has come of that project since 2016. @cwilbar, have you tried getting in touch with Brad at Best Electronics? I don't think he has XEGS case parts listed but it might be worth a shot to email him. Edited March 28, 2020 by ApolloBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 @ApolloBoy Thanks, I had not checked with Best yet. Was hoping the maybe someone here would have something.... but maybe XEGS didn't get diced up for parts, or produced in as many numbers. As I'd guess that it is probably a bit easier to get most Atari case plastics then XEGS. Odd thing is that in the past I've seen empty XEGS cases on eBay.... now that I could use one, there are none there either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 bumping to see if anyone has one available (I did send an e-mail to best a few minutes ago, we'll see what they have). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 no response from best elec. yet.... probably shut down due to the pandemic ? So, bumping once again to see if anyone has a XEGS top case, complete case, a whole dead XEGS/etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 bumping again.... but looks like this XEGS is going to become a spare PCB for another. I'll have to try Best again, I never did get a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 bumping again.... odd how when I didn't need one, I watched several XEGS cases sold on eBay.... now that I could use one, none to be found anywhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 another bump.... still bumping and crossing my fingers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 this thread is bumpy :-).... I'm still looking for XEGS plastic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+selgus Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Well I do have a XEGS case now, but it does have yellowing. Guess it could be retrobrite'd or used as-is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwilbar Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Thank you @selgus !!! This XEGS is now complete. A bit of yellowing, but all in all, not that bad, and much better than no top case ! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
