+bent_pin Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 @ClassicGMR @sramirez2008 you pick the pictures and I'll put them on a plate. I'm assuming black metal plates. Just cost (plate, transfer, ink) plus shipping plus $1 each for the kitty, hope that's fair. Probably cheaper to amortize the shipping over a few plates, plus that way I can buy a contractor box of plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, black metal plate. How about the attached pic? I only need one, so I’d you need to charge a bit more to make it worth your time, I’m fine with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll easily pitch in whatever just cuz. 😊 The pic is ok but with the ship centered it may get lost on the switch cutout. Random side thought - Maybe that’s why no one has one for sale? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bent_pin Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I'll toy with the pic a bit and post first. I don't do this for money but thank you. It shouldn't be too much. Let me investigate and get back here tonight or tomorrow. I think I may have to do a white metal plate and just print the black region. Just using a regular printer so no white ink. I'll hit it with some matte sealer too so they will last and can be cleaned. Going to make a dig dug one for myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+bent_pin Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Dig Dug is the first game I bought with my own money. I'd gone into the game store for years to look and put stuff aside so I could get my mom to buy it for my birthday or Christmas, but Dig Dug was all me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Asteroids is my favorite coin-op and I love the 7800 version, as well as the homebrews Space Rocks for the 2600 and Asteroids Deluxe for the 7800. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicGMR Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 @sramirez2008 I do love me a well-built Eagle! Star Trek's "primary hull Saucer and dual Nacelle design" is gorgeous but the Eagle is probably my #2 all time favorite spaceship design. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about I make this on a double-gang switch plate? There's also the option of the box art or the entire front of the arcade machine for a single plate, but that may be too tiny for good detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t need a double switch plate and haven’t found a better pic. How about we switch and use the marquee? I could use this on the following type of switch plate. Don’t know if others could use one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try a nylon switch plate first. I think the smoother surface will take the decal better. I will also look for extra smooth metal ones. No worries if you don't like the final product. I have many places through the house and in any of six outbuildings in which I can use them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) On topic: I'm on vacation in NH so hitting some of my favorite thrifts here. I passed on the $35 bag of Nintendo Wii connectors, power, controllers, motion bar... no console. You'd think there would be a console. Not to be found. Even the staff was stumped on that one. I also passed on the $70 XBox 360 and $125 PS3... this used to be such a good thrift store... I did find a pair of PS2 extension cables for $1 each though. I'll take the small win.

That wasn't even mentioned on the auction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
