i added pictures of some dust covers i have in my collection to my website, for those of you who are interested in obscure accessory ;-)

i especially like the plastic ones of the

philips g-7000 videopac:

cbs colecovision:

and the cloth covers of the atari vcs 2600 (2 versions), mattel intellivision (not in my collection) and the magnavox odyssey:

not to forget the 2 atari vcs-2600 cloth covers:

http://www.pong-picture-page.d.....ts_id=2106

http://www.pong-picture-page.d.....ts_id=1982

the mb (GCE) vectrex must be rare too.

http://www.pong-picture-page.d.....ts_id=1908

can anybody tell how rare these dust covers are and how they could be purchased? if anyone has an intellivision dust cover in duplicate please let me know.

are there any other cloth covers of other machines in your collection? or maybe any variants of the shown dust covers? i would be happy to see pics of those.

:-)

These covers are both from the States and were only sold there as both systems were also only available in USA.

The Sears Super Video Arcade cover is produced in 1982.The other one has no production year on the box.

Sorry for the late answer...Sleeping

These are really rare items,even on eBay.They just appear once or twice a year I would say.

German cuisine has so much more to offer than this: Schweinskopfsülze, Rheinischer Sauerbraten, Matjes nach Hausfrauenart, Möpkenbrot mit Rübenkraut, Blutwurst and Zungenwurst... Don't always reduce it to Sauerkraut! Unsure
