You are not alone. I've done the same thing with most of the video games in my small ColecoVision collection, buy crappy cartridges for cheap and bring them back to life!

Even though I play my Atari 2600 games on an emulator, I still own MANY cartridges (and the Atari 2600 console), and want to display them. This is a great tutorial for the ones that are in rough shape!

Lighter fluid works wonders with getting off those fused old labels

LOVED this video. With the new 2600+ coming I want to restore some of my old cartridges. Is there a website to get the labels from?

I bought 50 Atari 2600 games in a lot. The copy of Time Pilot I got didn't work. Opening and cleaning didn't help. I guess the rom's bad :(

Maybe bad… but it’s rare I find a cartridge that can’t be saved…. Floppies on the other hand….:(.

VERY good video!! I still have my Atari 2600 and 52 Cartridges. Over 80% need new labels. If you don't mind me asking, Where did you order and buy your label from? Thank you!

Great video, but one question, do the new labels say 'Reproduction' or some other clue to avoid confusion when they eventually make their way back into the community?
@readiysteadiy

Hey there - great question - thanks for asking it. To me, the onus is on me to tell people when I eventually part with a relabelled cartridge that it's got a non-original label on it. To me it's an improvement (especially over the carts in this video) - but that may not be everybody's opinion - so the honour system comes into play here. There isn't any indication on the labels I have that they are reproductions...

@@readiysteadiy Fair enough, but the main concern is the unexpected happens and most carts eventually arrive as part of an estate sale, or someone clearing out a parents old belongings etc. Even if you do have the opportunity to directly explain to the next owner, every owner after that would need the same interaction in perpetuity to avoid the misunderstanding. Nothing wrong with improving the cart, but just thinking long term. Alternatively whomever created the reproduction label could be part of that history by including their own logo. My two cents. Great video again.

I have the same concern@@robb233 . Most of the games I collect (2600 & NES) are usually in pristine condition and only need some contact cleaning. I'm always worried down the road if someone will question if my cartidges are 100% original. Regardless, great video @readiysteadiy. I also believe restoration as long as everyone is up front with it.
