    Transparent clear for the case, CD system, and carts would sell well as well.

    at least 100 maybe 200 so far i could be wrong through it may be as high as 500-1000 either way i don't think its many after all how many people know that Atari Jaguars cases ended up in dentist lol

    and i think Cartridge cases would be reasonable sellers particually to people who make homebrew jag games or if there is a everdrive ? flash cart for jag ? people could use those type of casings to do a decent production run

    It's been relisted. Would be nice if it could be salvaged.

    The bottom shell was apparently heavily altered for that medical device thingy. So I doubt these could be used to really produce full Jag replacement cases anymore.

    I wish I could grab them, I work at an injection molding company. Like a few have stated though, not only do you have the price of the molds, generally they need to be serviced/cleaned before they can even be run, which can run in the 1000's. It would be cool to have just to keep it alive, but not cost effective to make good $$. I run the decoration side of my work where we paint/hydrograph parts. I could have done some awesome stuff to these;)

    There are several of us within driving distance of San Carlos. Lord knows I've stored weirder things than injection molds.

    I think these molds are the actual original jaguar molds, not the medical ones?

    They look to be the medical ones. A lot of times, owners of molds/tools will modify them over the years. The white shells he is also selling he states that the bottom is open... which makes me believe it is not exactly the same. Not to sure though, any thoughts?

    They are the original Atari moulds, which were then sold when Atari closed. The dental equipment company bought them, modified them, and produced dental suction devices.

    Hence, they are the original Atari moulds AND the dental moulds. The original Atari moulds do not exist in their original form - they were modified (the back removed) for a new use.
