+orpheuswaking Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 could go full ghetto fabulous, and do a whole rice burner thing and use brass, a piece of flat brass stock that could be cut to replace all the brushed aluminum on the face of an XL would probly be less the $10US. then with a good polish it would look almost like gold... (lowering and 24" wheels would be at your descretion. ;') sloopy. That reminds me sloopy, I still need to put ground effects in my 800xl... Purple LED's for maximum pimposity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple LED's for maximum pimposity Actually, ground effects are passe' now. Opposite trend....you RAISE and not lower. (1) You have to spend every dollar you have, getting your 800XL jacked into the air, enough to accommodate 26" wheels. (2) You roll with 15" wheels for another year while you save. Remove stock wheel covers to strongly imply ad interim status. (3) Score (or better yet, steal) 26" rims. Don't wuss out and go 20". (4) The rest of the condition doesn't matter, as long as the rims are shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 For grins, I got out my 1/2" Black on Silver TZ tape cassette and made this on the second try. Clear with black letters on brushed aluminum would be closer, but I don't have any of that particular tape. This was Ariel Narrow, 20 pt. Still a larger font would be closer, also. -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havok69 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Looks pretty close. You might have to start selling labels for the 320XL upgrade folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irgendwer Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 This was Ariel Narrow, 20 pt. Why don't you use the fonts here: http://www.atariage.com/2600/archives/AtariFonts/index.html?SystemID=2600 ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Last experiment. I changed the font/size slightly, and the bottom label is as close as I think I can come. A word of slight caution -- I've had my PT1500PC (PT = PTouch series) for maybe 6 years, and I believe it has been superceded by a newer PC-type. On my labeler the Black on Silver 1/2" tape cassette works fine. It is TZ-M931 which is categorized as a "Specialty Tape" (non-laminated). If you would happen to want a PTouch labeler, check the compatibility. And finally, if buying tapes, check around -- the selling prices/postage vary widely. -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Curious to know: did Atari use the Fuji logo on any machines/software packaging before the introduction of the ST/XE line? ...urgh... ignore that. It's on the paper label under my 600XL... Edited June 28, 2010 by flashjazzcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Thanks to yorgle, the 600XL is badged up: It's been Super Video modded, upgraded to 64K, cleaned with peroxide and sealed with anti-UV lacquer. Now I discover the "H" key isn't working... where's that soldering iron... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 I made this today just before the drum on my ancient hand-me-down laser printer gave up the ghost: It's made from a photo of an actual case badge, posterised and then transferred onto aluminium sheet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
