What is the name of thy type of connection port the Atari uses for a cartrage port. Been looking for one on sites like mouser.com and I come up with thousands of other 25 pin connectors.could just get one from best I know but I want to see if I can get it cheaper.

If you search the forums for "2600 cart connector" there are some links to parts. However, they never seemed to be in stock when I last looked.

It's a 24 pin card edge connector with a 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch

This one on digikey should work:
