I have found a way to make reproduction/replacement overlays for the ColecoVision that I feel will translate to the Intellivision as well. In the picture below I have three repro overlays:

Sharp Shot
Armor Battle
Lock'N'Chase

The Horse Racing is an original Intellivision overlay that I used for reference. Over in the ColecoVision section of AA I posted that my method was tested to 120 cycles (a cycles is, putting the overlay in controller, push all the buttons and then taking it back out) and the overlay still looked great. Here's that topic for reference:

Does anyone make reproduction overlays?

I'm considering offering for sale Intellivison overlays as well if there is enough interest.

For those interested in how these are made. First I clean up each image (in some cases, I redraw them). Next, each one of the overlays are printed on photo quality paper. The overlay is then laminated front to back with one piece of continuous lamination. This means the leading edge of the overlay is not cut, protecting the lamination from catching on the controller when being inserted. This will keep the overlay from de-laminating.

Let me know what you guys think.

I'm looking for a schematic of the Super Action controller spinner. What the spinner is physically and more specifically, how the spinner is connected to the 9 pin controller plug. I've tried searching, but I'm not having any luck. So far the only thing I've found is there might be magnets used in it, but I'm not sure how correct that is. I'm starting to think it is a guarded secret.

Maybe I missed something in the search, so if anyone can point me in the direction of how the spinner works and how its connected, it would be much appreciated.

The ColecoVision Trading Card Series CV-02 is coming!

For those that don't know. This is the second series of ColecoVision cards. Here's the link to the first set (Keep in mind I'm no longer making the first set):
ColecoVision Trading Cards with Binder!
I felt it was time to start a new topic since I finalized the game card list and started on the card art work. There will be 25 game cards, a starter card, and a checklist card. This makes the total number of cards 27 for the complete set (which is the perfect number of cards for those who put them in binder sheets. Each binder sheet holds nine cards). Here's a sneak peak at the game card selections.

And just a reminder the CV-02 cards will come in a 1980's style/inspired packaging. Each CV-02 card set will come with three card packs that look like this:  cv02a.jpg   99.39K   108 downloads  cv02b.jpg   92.94K   45 downloads

Each one of the packs will have a slightly different wrapper. Here are the three wrapper types:

As you can see from the picture above, the initial sets of wrappers are done and awaiting the trading cards. I have not finalized the six stickers that will be included in the set (Two stickers for each pack).

Like last time, I will have an option for those that wish to purchase a binder to put their collection in. It will be the same binder as last time.

The initial run right now is (20) twenty sets. If demand is high I will do (20) twenty more. Once the first sets are ready to go, I will post the pricing and open up the ordering process. Stay tuned.

Just letting everyone know that I'm opening orders again for these 12" x 16" ColecoVision posters. Here is the thread that started it all, ColecoVision Mr. DO! Poster & Maybe More...

Each 12x16 poster is $20 (that includes the print, the tube, and Priority mail shipping within the lower 48 states, If in Canada please PM me for pricing). Since I have to use a USPS tube, I will need to roll the poster. I also only take payment via paypal. If you want any other posters with the initial order, it will be an additional $15 per poster (so, $20 first poster and $15 for each additional poster in the same order). PM me if you are interested. Be sure to include your paypal email address so I can send you an invoice once your order is ready to ship.
Here are the current ones I have ready to print:

Comming soon: Omega Race Table Top arcade

I do have more poster I have no problem cleaning up other poster if the orders come in. For a list of all the poster I have, please see this post #6 in this topic: http://www.atariage....ter-maybe-more/. Just let me know which ones you are interested in and I'll give you an estimate on how long it should take.

I'm trying to gauge the interest in 5-1/4" game disk labels and reproduction disk sleeves for the ADAM computer. It took me some time to find a suitable label stock that would stay on the disk. For some odd reason the label stock that I use for cartridges did not stay on the textured surface of a 5-1/4" diskettes. I'm also trying to gauge which ADAM disk sleeve that you guys would prefer. I'm looking at $1.50 per label and $1.50 per disk sleeve (plus shipping). Here are the current label titles I have:

Here are the two disk sleeves. The first sleeve is done in the style of ADAM and is not a reproduction. The second sleeve is a stylized reproduction (I say stylized because it is not a 100% image perfect reproduction, but its pretty close). These new disk sleeves are made of 110 lb card stock. This is the thickest card stock I can push thru my printer.

This is what your diskettes would look like with these labels and sleeves. (REMEMBER I'M NOT SELLING THE DISKETTES THEMSELVES. Just the labels and sleeves.)

Let me know what you guys think and if there is enough interest, I will open this up for purchase.
