Hi guys
As you all know by now, i am reproducing the Aluminium Serial stickers for various cabs.
Check this topic if you don't know what i am talking about:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2351.0 (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2351.0)
I have done some investigation and i have a source for this kind of sticker and a estimated price from my printer to print this.
The size of the sheet is 100 x 70 cm. and i can squeeze in alot of alu stickers.
If you are in need of a reproduction serial sticker, this is the time to sign up.
I have no intention of making profit from this, im just reproducing my 2 zacc stickers, and some Atari's
The more people that join , the cheaper the price per sticker will be.
For now it looks like the stickers will be between € 5,- and € 7,50 per piece, depending of the size of the sticker.
In principal, that price does not include shipping outside Holland, but that should not be high as they fit easy in a standard envelope.
I say in principal, because if there are enough people, the price per piece will be lower, and the shipping wil justify it again then.
You will receive your sticker(s) cut out with a computerguided slith (see the magenta line on the pics below)
thats the line the computerguided knive will folow.
If there is a sticker that you will like to have, and i have not reproduced it yet, then i can still do that.
Just send me a straight shot of the sticker or scan and the dimentions, and i will vector it and take it in the run for you.
Also let me know if you want the serialnumbers printed or not (see the atari sticker for example, that is punched, not printed)
and ofcourse if you want it printed, provide me the correct serialnumbers that you want in your sticker ;)
The stickers that currently are beeing reproduced are these:

Sounds great, I would like 6 pieces, just please add 1 or 2 to each serial numbers I sent you, I decided to keep the original ones and use the repros on the cabs with missing decals. ;)
I will also ask the pinball guy here asap. ;)
-
Etienne, about the thick (bold) font/ normal font difference: Are you sure the Irish are bold ? I'm not too sure actually. Could you print one on plain paper so we can compare before we waste precious material ?
Or maybe I can print the file here and check with my Centi sticker ?
Anyway, I want 2 of the Irish one's please. I still have to take a look at the VP...

let me understand you correctly, i have put the 4 serial numbers that you send to me on the sheet.
now you want to add 2, thats great ofcourse, but i don't understand the "add 1 or 2 to each serial numbers" part
do i just copy 2 of the stickers so you will have 2 stickers with the same serial, and if thats the case which one you want "double" ?
@ Andre, updated the "order status"
and i have printed it on paper which i will drop by after work someday together with the sample of alu ok ?

Sorry for the poor explanation, I mean I wouldn't like to have the same numbers on the repro stickers that I already have and I guess the next serial number is also belongs to the same type of cabinet, so please add 1 or 2 to the last number in the row.
Phoenix (flying saucer artwork):V/116.789 V/116.790
Phoenix(spacestation artwork):V/125.844 V6125.845
Vanguard:V/127.633 V/127.634
Starsplash:V/142.005 V/142.006
And the additional 2 could be one more Phoenix and Vanguard with 791 and 635 in the end.
I know I'm a bit complicated. ;D
Thanks in advance. ;)
-
Okay, let me get you clear, i have already 4 for you :
Phoenix (flying saucer artwork):V/116.789
Phoenix(spacestation artwork):V/125.844
Vanguard:V/127.633
Starsplash:V/142.005
You want extra stickers with a higher number
Phoenix (flying saucer artwork):V/116.790
Phoenix(spacestation artwork):V6125.845
Vanguard:V/127.634
Starsplash:V/142.006
and 2 more with again a higher number:
Phoenix (flying saucer artwork):V/116.791
Vanguard:V/127.635
so that totals 10 stickers ?
sorry for not understanding your meaning in one time, but i dont want to make any mistakes ;)
-
Lol, to make it 100% clear I would like these:
Phoenix (flying saucer artwork):V/116.790
Phoenix(spacestation artwork):V6125.845
Vanguard:V/127.634
Starsplash:V/142.006
and 2 more with again a higher number:
Phoenix (flying saucer artwork):V/116.791
Vanguard:V/127.635
I don't want to replace the existing ones, so I won't need the 4 pieces with the original numbers I sent you. :D
-
Okay, now i get you 8)
It will be 6 in total for you then ;)
EDIT:
Just to be exactly sure, this is in the file now:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/belacheck.jpg)
This is correct ?
-
I just wanted to report that there is some interest flooding in from the various forums. Still need to receive scans/pics though for some special stuff.
Others want the "regular" stickers as listed by Etienne.....this will be a nice project indeed !
-
That's correct and looks great on that sheet, you are the master Etienne! ;D ;D ;) ;D ;D
-
2 Irish Atari and 1 USA Atari (thick front) for me please. :spaceace:
-
If things go well I will get this one scanned soon:
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q57/phetishboy/atariserialsticker.jpg)
And I see a problem there: the serial numbers seem to be printed with something like a dot-matrix printer (probably an industrial one).
Maybe there is a font that is like that ?
-
Mmm, maybe one of these will work ?
http://www.free-fonts.com/matrix_fonts.html
-
I need to consult my font expert ChrisChris for that :D ;)
the pic looks good enough already to repro, just need sizes...
EDIT:
Sizes are 84 x 84 mm.

Equites on Jamma+ forum posted another candidate:

TOTALLY NONSENSE EDIT: OK, am I the only one who ALWAYS has "It's a long way...to Tipperary" in his head when he sees an Irish Atari serial plate ;)
-
Looks like the Irish gravitar (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2351.msg28789#msg28789)that you posted earlier, need measurements and straight shots of that..

-
The Gravitar is in it's owner's hands again now....Erik ?
-
Etienne dropped off some sample materials and some test prints here today (thanks !!)
The two "vinyl" like samlpes are not what we are looking for (as Etienne already concluded, but the Alu-looking samples are EXACTLY what we need :)
We also discussed the font of the Irish serial sticker and both now think the font on that one is not bold...so some more work for Etienne, but I guess that's almost just one button press ;)
-
.... but I guess that's almost just one button press ;)
right..... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37OWL7AzvHo&NR=1)
or How about "NO" ! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lITBGjNEp08&feature=related) ;D ;) :lol:

Unfortunately I don't ahve the game at my house. :(
-
2 Irish Atari and 1 USA Atari (thick front) for me please. :spaceace:
After comparing alot together with Andre, we came to the conclusion that the font i used was too thick
so i adjusted the font and rebuilded the USA variant.
The status is updated in the first post
-
Scan of my Missile Command US serial number sticker -- I need at least one of these (since its already ripped off my cabinet!)
-
Thank you joeb1355,
I added your order to the list
-
Etienne, I'm waiting for some info from Marco about his Space Pirate coctail, mine lacks the serial sticker, please add one more to my request. ;)
Thanks my Friend. :D
-

cool that you posted that! my MC is missing the entire sticker (but you can still see where it was) and i had already asked michael to check his cabinet, but it's empty as well. so this is another sticker i'm going to need!

You still needed to look at others as well IIRC,

i will put you up for 1 x "USA Atari" for now ?.
@Muerto: do you need a USA Atari as well ?
-

I would like to add one to Marco's serial number, he will send it to me soon. ;)

Ok, i added it to the sheet, and wait your number ;)

If things go well I will get this one scanned soon:
(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q57/phetishboy/atariserialsticker.jpg)
Repro as good as done, just need the "serial ABC" and then i can add the requested serial numbers..
I have added it to the first post as "No. 5 (USA Atari Alternative)"
Another Special request was the SEGA Hangon Silver Instruction sticker.
Also added to the first post under "No. 6 Sega Hangon"
-
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/07.jpg)
is my eyesight going crazy or is the spacing between the three text lines on the right sticker different?
anyway, i'll go over my machines soon and place my order then ...
-
Yes , it is , will correct that.
the source used is a picture, and has a little skewing, so i placed the text straight on top of it, without noticing that the original is a bit tilted because of the picture..
anyway, do you have any other adjustments / suggestions of this , of maybe a straight shot , then i can adjust the nessesary things, and we will have a better result
-

i'll TRY to get a straight macro shot today, but i can't promise anything. school's starting again tomorrow and i'm behind schedule - again :'(
-
that would be great, but also dont worry, it is just hobby, so other priorities first my friend ;)
-
Will we be able to recreate this ?

O wait.... something went wrong here....:

AFAIK CKONG's Gravitar is NOT an Irish built cab (Alpha1, can you confirm ??) but a US cab !!
In that case.....I think that sticker combo is actually from my Video Pinball !!! I have to leave for drumband exercise now, will have a look into it tomorrow.... (need to drag away lots of stuff to reach it....)
However Etienne, as you can see, they are not the same. The picture of the Asteroids serial shows an actual (spot for a) serial number. The one in my VP is actually not a real serial number sticker but more a "rating" sticker (Amps, Watt).....geez.....
HOWEVER it could of course be that a serial sticker just like that Asteroids one is also on the back of my VP. As you can see those other stickers are inside the cab.....
-
hmm youre right, now i see it too :)
well, i said it looks like, i did not say that it was it so i am still on the safe side ;)
anyway, if there are some sort of "sources" i am able to recreate it ofcourse..
so ring all the bells everywhere and get me those scans / straight shots with measurements 8)
-
Due to some developments at klov forums, i had no other choise to reduce the quality of the pics here, and added the word "sample" in them.
Sorry for that, The real ones will be super ofcourse ;)

I think someone took my JPG files from the site and tries to snatch the US "customers" with them.
I dont have proof that that is the case, but if thats the case, its pretty lame..
It must be one of the three answers that andre stated in his "little popquiz" over there ;D
-
I can hardly believe that assholes like this actually try to take away our US "Customers". Remember that we are doing this on a non-profit basis. The only reason to search for more "customers" is that we can lower the prices for everyone this way...
Most annoying is that no-one ever cared about these. There have been some available in the past from one guy (who has now left the hobby), but only US versions and I saw pics of them and to put it mildly they were only "look alikes".
Anyway, I think we still have everyone "on board" so far and the project will be done anyway.
-
True, we don't have any attention of making profit, thats why i "quoted" the word customers.
Its just the more people join, the more persons i can divide the total amout through, so the more the better.
there are some standard fees involved (starting costs and cutting start costs) that will be the same if i take 10 stickers of 100.
Also the material comes in a specific size which has a fixed price per sheet.
for example, if the fixed fees are 50€ , then its 5 euro per etiket, if i have the possibillity to devide 50 / 100, the fixed fees are only 50 eurocents per etiket. so imagine at 200 etikets :wink:
the thing that bothers me is like andre describes, for the rest i dont care it, because i know that the JPG's that i posted are not as good as the vectors that i have here.
Its not that i dont want to share the vectors, because after the run they will be available through Zorgs vectorlib, as ar my other vector files.
Also i will not publish the vectors that are not "done" because i don't want to have crappy vectors made by me to be floating around.
If there are vectors out there that i made which are not "done" i will always notice that and state that they need "cleanup".
Anyway, Back to business 8)
do you have more scans / orders in the que for me andre ?
if yes, PM please, and i will update the second "status post" of this threat :)
-
A special request reached me, so i made it and added it to the initial post.
#7: Zippy Race
Also i added the status of the repro files in the first post.
-
Nice, don't forget to exchange the "8" to "B" in the Zippy Race file. ;)
Thanks my Friend. :D

PM sent with link to my hi-res scan of my Dragon's Lair SN label - my original is showing it's age badly and like to order 2 replacements using the same info that is in the scan (Model: LD and SN: 05498). ;D
Just a note that it is black on silver, the scan makes it not too too black. :P
Thank you for doing this.
Cheers,

I have added you to the list.
Can you provide measurements in millimeters please ?
Thanks !
-
Pffff, I picked up TWO of these BEASTS today:
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/81/IBMSelectric.jpg)
They weigh a TON....each ! :D
Got a number of balls with them but not the Bookface :(
Will do some testing tonight...
These machines are actually pretty neatly designed and technologically quite interesting..... ;D
Funny to actually have some "sympathy" for a grey IBM machine.....but hey, there were no PC's then yet....
-
Huray !! , so the embedding of numbers can begin !
ps what did the wife say ? ;) :lol:

hail mr vectorking! i found something new on a machine :arrow:
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5131/5553600435_9c86987edb_b_d.jpg)

By comparing this:
(http://gallery.me.com/andre.huijts/100027/DSCF3860/web.jpg?ver=12516620880001)
with this:
(http://selectric.org/selectric/fonts/bookface72.gif)
That last image I found on the website of a "Museum" right here: http://selectric.org/selectric/index.html
Done some experimenting and there is some bad and some good news.
The bad:
- the extra balls didn't fit, and I remembered reading that there were more modern balls (for the Selectric III series) which contain more letters. They have their names printed in yellow on top of the ball and indeed all the 4 extra balls have this.
- only one of the machines actually works. It made more noise than I had expected but it silenced a bit after a while. I thought there would only be a fan in there, but as I read there is actually a motor and some pretty complex (binary !) mechanics in there.....a miracle that it still works ( or not, judging on the build quality).
The other one is as dead as there is no power applied....at least there is still the ball from that one ;)
- they smell like you'd expect them to smell, like smokey 70's offices ! :)
The good:
- one works ! ;)
- it is possible to adjust the force of the strike which is EXCELLENT for our goal :)
- the machine has a mechanism meant for stencils, which simply means it lifts the ribbon out of the way so that the bare ball (heheh) strikes the paper/label, which is ALSO excellent for us (no need to remove the ribbon. Amazingly the ribbon works still !!!
- first testing show very very promissing ( I will make a scan)
- the mechanism has no problems at all with the labels. The only "drawback" is that it's impossible to "print" on the lower part of a label, but on the Atari's it's not needed.
_________________________
It will be pretty hard to do the exact positioning of the letters on the labels, but not impossible, will require some testing with paper print-outs first.
The way of using the ball only that I had first thought about can be ruled out right away: Impossible to do with some decent lining out AND it's already to hit at the right letter.....
Will scan some examples and post a bit later.
Now, we need a Bookface ball !
-
Scans, pretty damn convincing IMHO ! I'm glad my idea actually worked as I thought it would :)
(http://gallery.me.com/andre.huijts/100675/Seial-20test-20A/web.jpg?ver=13009222530001)
This is typed WITH the ribbon to see how to position...not too good on this first try...

For those who want to know how the Selectric system works:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRCNenhcvpw&feature=player_embedded
Not bad for a 60's machine !
-
Fantastic Andre !
i was thinking, what we also can do if we dont find the correct ball, is give the people a choice.
or the closest match we can do with the balls available, or i can insert the letters with the font you got and print them.
ps. i added a few new stickers to the first post.
-
About the embossed characters: I "printed" those with the ribbon still in place. For some reason the metal doesn't like the ink, so it doesn't show, but I'm sure we will have an even better result when I use the "ribbon lift" feature of the machine (I hadn't read about it when I printed those.....)
Also will have to experiment a bit with the strike force setting....
-
I have searched for the font bookface, but i dont find it.. :'(
I have searched, and found this font instead:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/atariemboss.jpg)
Anyway, this comes very close don't you think ?
but i need to say that i like the real embedding more, even if its not the correct font.. ::)
by the way, the font that you use now, is also very very close i think
Which font are you using now in the typewriter ?
-
What's the name of that font you found Etienne ?
maybe the guys at the selectric museum made a small mistake.... ?
The one I printed with:
The letters are close, but the numbers are really off. They also have this goofy spacing (weird !), The ball's name is Delegate by the way.
-
that font doesn't look like bookface, bookface is imho not "smooth" enough (if you know what i mean)!
-
So....what _do_ you think it is ? ;D

Century regular, but as you can see is the "5" different in the top part..
youre right, i have not looked sharp to the numbers, the capital letters are fine as far as i can judge

I found another source that confirms Bookface Academic is the one we need.

This is a list from a third party manufacturer of letter balls for the Selectric.
The Bookface numbers are what confirms to me that it IS that font. Please stop making it even more confusing now, thank you very much....
I found a source for a Bookface ball in the US. Would prefer local/Europe for shipping costs though, any suggestions where to find these are welcome.

Cool, no more debating, book_blablahbla it is !

Bookface ACAD ball ordered from the US....

I was reading the Galaxian restauration (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=62784.msg624359#msg624359) of Level42 on KLOV, and there he mentions that his cab does not have the serial plate.
That is ofcourse a reason to create it ::)
I have updated the first post with a No.10 "namco-bally" serial plate ;)
That could be easily stick to a cab as it is, or on a piece of aluminium..
Is there anybody here who has this that can provide measurements ?
Thanks in advance
here the example:
(blue is transparent)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/namcobally.jpg)
-
Nope.
The Galaxians had a REAL metal serial plate.
Rich from ThisOldGame.com already produces them. They are also not a serial plate but a manufacturers plate, there is no serial nr. in there.
-
So whats that number than in the bottom ?
(http://www.homearcade.us/album/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=175&g2_serialNumber=2)
-
Remember Beverly Hills 90210 ?
It's a post(al) code.
:D
-
:oops: Ok, did not know that... :oops:
will put that number in the file, and at least my file is ok.
EDIT:
File and pic adjusted..
-
Actually I have one of Rich's repro's that I still need to install.....will dig up a pic tonight....
Anyway, a sticker would be totally inadequate here AND I think we shouldn't try to "compete" with others....
(All fonts look bold too me by the way compared to the original.)

Lol, for first sight looks like a serial number indeed. ;D ;D ;D
Btw. it would be nice to make a repro from the Namco Bertollini serial sticker if anybody have a sample from that. ::)

I was not trying to "compete", i was trying to do you a favor ;)
If you find it , take the measurements please, and while you're at it, and if you have time ofcourse, take a look at the other "verification" mails i have send you please, then i can start to wrap things up for as far as this project's concern.
@ Bela, Need a pic and measurements.. i dont have it...
Maybe Muerto ? he has helped us out with your Namco bertolini bezel too..
-

If his machine still has that, I'm sure he will help us.
Let's see if he reads this topic, otherwise I will send him a P.M.. ;D

I know :)
I read that TOG is out of stock on them by the way...
Good news: the Bookface ACAD ball has arrived safely !!!
Will test tonight !!
-
Did some testing. As expected, the font is 100% correct !
However, I have some weird spacing issue.
For instance when I type: EDST, the E and the D almost touch each other (sometimes they actually do) but the space between the D and the S is too wide.....
Guess I have to "oil" some parts.....now....let's find out how to open the beast.....
-
In some situations you need to lube it up ;D :o ;D :twisted:
-
cool andré, thx a lot for the effort!!!
-
For which and how many i can put you up Ully ?
-
Hey Ully, What is the size ? ;D ;) ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/34.jpg)
Any news on this Ully ?
-
Any news on this Ully ?
nope, not yet! haven't heard back from the guy with the dig dug. i'll send him another email ...
-
Repro as good as done, just need the "serial ABC" and then i can add the requested serial numbers..
@ ChrisChris:
I hope you have not started with a custom ABC..
I found a Font which is pretty convincing if you ask me..
Note the "0" in the bottom where i removed the slash through the zero.
ofcourse the person who needs this can decide if they want zero's with or without slash 8)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/dotmatrix.jpg)
-
No I haven't started the alphabet yet :oops:
I also suggest "fake receipt" from dafont.com because even if the font is not a perfect match, it has that messy effect like the original has.

Etienne, I think the status of nr. 2 (Irish Atari) can now be changed to "Ready for Printing" ?
-
Tomorow i will make the adjustments and it will be ready for printing ;)
EDIT:
I have done the adjustments to the Irish Atari, its ready for printing, so i updated the first status post.
Also there was a request from the same person who asked the Sega Hangon Instruction sticker, to reproduce his badly damaged FCC ID sticker.
That is also created, and is waiting approval:
6a: Sega Hangon FCC ID - Awaiting Approval.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/06a.jpg)
-
Another request came to me , and i have done the firstsetup of that
11: USA Atari inverted - Awaiting Approval / adjustments.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/11.jpg)
12: USA Atari FCC - Awaiting Approval / adjustments.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/12.jpg)
-
No. 12 has been verified, adjusted, verified again, and its ready for printing.
Also created "11a" which is the matching serial etiket that sticks on top of no.11, and is also ready for printing..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/11serial.jpg)
Will update No.11 soon, got some adjustments to make..
-
Some progress on the IBM Selectric: I managed to actually open the machine ! Woo-hoo !......Man what an impressive mechanism !! Totally amazing, mechanical binary stuff, amazing in every way !
Now let's (s)pray :D
Etienne, is the Irish done and OK ?
Also: Since there are a number of "white" stickers being repro-ed as well, will these be included in the "job" ?
I really want that VAN sticker :D
-
Tomorow i will make the adjustments and it will be ready for printing ;)
EDIT:
I have done the adjustments to the Irish Atari, its ready for printing, so i updated the first status post.
i think yes, i just send you the PDF, so you can play with the IBM..
did you lube it up good ? ;D :lol:
about the white, i have made this "fcc" sticker to take in a "possible future whitematerial printing job"
so if i have some white printing work to be done (sideart for example) i can squeez that into the file which will save startupcosts
or the guy i have made it for, decides to print it in aluminium like the rest, i dont know that yet, i am waiting for confirmation on that.
But IF i have a "white" printing job to do i will think of you ;)
how many van stickers are we talking about ?, for all your cabs ?
-
adjusted and updated Sticker #10.
-
So, just out of curiosity, how far are we from production ? ;)
So far still have the problem with the typewriter, but still working on it.
-
still waiting some details for 2 stickers, and then i think we need to make the balance and see.
There where some question marks in the list that you have send me , so i could not add them because of that
compare the xls file with the second (orderstatus) post of this threat if you like and contact those people please
Also i have not received any numbers from Ully, but i am sure he wants some, so i wait for that ofcourse
but maybe after all this time we should make a deadline / closing date and just take wat we got into production.
remember guys , the more stickers we got to do the cheaper they will be in the end !
so if you want some, just let me know, even custom ones, just send the details and i'll vector it.
-
Perhaps it's best to set a (pretty soon) fixed closing date that people can send in stuff. Else we keep adding new designs endlessly.
Just MHO of course ;D
-
good point
-
Any news on this Ully ?
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/34.jpg)
i never heard back from the guy who wanted to get the measures for me, three emails / messages unanswered. so i went to the storage and tried to get the measures as exactly as possible from the stickers / dirt residues - and here is the result: 7 x 5 centimeters. i'd say let's go with those ...
-
Okay, thanks !
I will update this ASAP
-
And i have done some adjustments:
Ully, can you live with it like this : ?
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/28.jpg)
-
can you make it clickable or send it to me via mail for a test print, etienne?
-
can you make it clickable or send it to me via mail for a test print, etienne?
Email send ;)
-
Ully, can you live with it like this : ?
unfortunately no (*duck* *run and hide*)
just checked it against the original sticker and the spacing isn't correct - sorry!
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2363/5764599743_05afab0bd2_b_d.jpg)
i always have a bad conscience when i have to tell stuff like that, but we want it to be perfect, right, so you need to use some more of your magic ...
-
thats no problem, thats why i ask it ;D
i will try to adjust it on base of this pic and send it again for further verification.
-
i could carry the scanner over to the storage and scan that thing, but we should only use this as a last resort because it's a lot of trouble getting power there ...
-
I already know why its like that ...
if you look closely to the "adjusted image":
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/34.jpg)
you see that i needed to make the image flat by pulling it in perspective
thats where the "deforming" is comming from...
-
so do you need a new picture?
-
not yet..
-
Wanted to let you guys know that the IBM Selectrics have gone to a better place...
I'd paid €20 for them, and I paid some more for the correct ball from the US.
Since I bought a much lighter and compact and reliable typewriter for €1 from our own flea-market I had no use for the IBM's anymore. They were GULPING up space and so I wanted to get rid of them ASAP.
So I figured what the heck, I'll put 'm on Marktplaats and let's see if anyone even wants them. I expected no replies and I would even be glad if someone would have picked them up for free.
However, after some time I got a reply. A nice lady asked if €50 would be OK.
So I replied...yeah, I can live with it !!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
I'd honestly mentioned the condition of both machines (as always). She picked them up today. Gave her the two machines and the balls and the extra ribbons. She knew someone who repaired them...and she used to work with them back in the day.
So...this was actually a pretty profitable transaction :)
Now...the font of the "new" typewriter is almost correct. The letters are exactly right only the numbers are a bit different. I will use this one for the serial nrs. if you want them.
If you want 100% correct font, you'll have to find your own solution, sorry.
The machine also allows more reliable positioning than the IBM's which is very important for not spoiling any valuable stickers.
-
nice deal, andré!
i can live with the numbers not being 100% accurate, but it would be cool to see some pics nevertheless. thx for devoting so much time on this!
-
Yeah Cool !
Type some words/ serials and scan / photograph them please , im also curiouse to the font !
-
so do you need a new picture?
Sorry Ully, but the pic posted here is too much out of angle to make a good adjustment.
Please take a straight shot of it while the transparant is on top of it, then i can make the adjustments and send you an update
Thanks
-
Please take a straight shot of it while the transparant is on top of it, then i can make the adjustments and send you an update
alright, etienne, i might even take the laptop and scanner with me for better results!
-
That would be perfect ;)
-
I'd like the following:
No. 5
No. 11
No. 12
Hoops
-
Okay Hoopstar,
what data on #5 and what serial on #11 ?
12 has been added to the sheet
-

Hard to say Etienne..
My project is somewhat unique in that it is a scratch built cockpit cabinet (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1814.0).. I know there was just under 2500 built, but not sure of the exact number - if I could find that number out, I'd probably go that +1 :)
Worse case, serial 2499 would do.
Hoops
-
Okay, i understand,
I see its a Starwars cockpit.
This label is comming from Level42's cockpit, so i guess that the model indication can be like this ? (EDST)
(http://gallery.me.com/andre.huijts/100027/DSCF3860/web.jpg?ver=12516620880001)
i will leave the serial blank for now, and you can provide it later.
I am planning to finish this up this moth though and take it somewhere in July to the printer, so by then i need to know what you want.
by the way , what about the Volts and the Amps ?
Preview Sticker #5 with your data:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/hoops.jpg)
-
Atari's serial nrs. were never simply the real production nr. There was a system behind it, but I don't know how/what.
EDST should be OK though for the model. Not sure if he wants the US or the Irish version (because it's a repro)...?
-
What does the EDST stand for??
Volts = 240 and Amps = 2.5A - I am in Australia :)
I'd definitely want the US version since all the parts for this build were source from there..
-
Unfortunately Muerto does not have a sticker on his Namco Galaxian, if anybody have one, please let us know. ;)
-

i dont have a clue, thats what was on Level42's sticker ,
I will adjust the data, and youre good to go.
-
Etienne, I was thinking, maybe it's better that you will have the typewriter at your place (for the project) ?
I mean you'll have all the data for the several orders and will save time/travel/hassle.
Let me know.
I'll type some stuff and scan today.
I've wondered about the EDST too.
E may stand for Eire (Ireland) ? ST for STar Wars ?
-
that is a possibility ofcourse,
Or, i finish it up first, then print it, and you come over for a cup of coffee and bring the machine
we can type the data in there and i can start shipping
after all you are the person with the experience in the spacing and placement ;D
-

Am I ? No problem would be nice to come over and play your machines too :) For the spacing job, would it be possible to print a sheet that is "equal" to the final silver printed stickers sheet but than on regular paper ? That way we can do some good practicing....
-
Sure, i can print that "test" sheet on normal paper.
i think we need to create "reference" stickers on the typewriter, since im not sure yet how the stickers will be cut in the end
i mean it could be that its cut on the cutlines but only through the etiket, and not the protective layer, or totally through all,
in the second case w will have alot of stickers, in the first case, the sheets stays intact, and i need to cut it afterwards with a knive, or scissors.
all depending on the tests we are going to do at the printer.
anyway , its always good to practice !
so if we just position the testpaper, and create reference points (left and right), i think thats the way to go
does this typewriter has an electric "Enter" or is it a manual ?
either way, after inserting the sticker its just counting the enters and it will be the same height (+-)
all this stories remembers me typing the labels for video casettes in the past :)
-
Created and added #13 Atari Cabaret
-
Okay guys,
I want to start planning to take this into production.
I want to create a deadline for orders and wrap things up.
My idea is to finish the preparations this month, and take it to the printer in July.
Please check this post (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2454.msg30561#msg30561) if your order is correct and let me know if there are any errors.
if you dont have made your order, you still have time to do so, i will stop accepting orders after 30 Juni 2011.
@Ully, the only thing to wrap up vectorwise is the #8 sticker, so if you got time, please give me the info needed, then i can finish this project.
Thanks everyone for joining in and made this possible !
-
Checked and confirmed. ;)
-
@Ully, the only thing to wrap up vectorwise is the #8 sticker, so if you got time, please give me the info needed, then i can finish this project.
i was at the storage the other day to get a new picture, but i had forgotten to bring a flashlight with me. impossible to get a straight on picture without a proper lightsource - will give it another try at the weekend!

Erika typewriter test:
(http://gallery.me.com/andre.huijts/100937/Typemachine-20Erika/web.jpg?ver=13078310310001)
Please ignore that the top line is straight and the rest skewed, I re-inserted the sheet again after the first line (obviously not very tight).
Also ignore the quality of the ink on the page....the ribbon cartridge is probably about as old as the machine...
The top lines are done in 10 the bottom in 12. (spacing between the letters)
-
This is comming to a reality folks!
The typewriter is not exactly the font, but its reliable, the IBM was not in this case.
Anyway, Big thanks to Gyruss (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?action=profile;u=952) :spaceace:
He has picked up the material from the supplier. (he lives closer to them than me :P)
another step closer to production !
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/alu.jpg)
-
I'll try to pick the stuff up at Gyruss' next week. I will work in Almere tuesday and wednesday and maybe thursday....however going in and out of Hilversum is sometimes a nightmare....depends on the time I will be in the area. Gyruss if you could keep them at your work that probably is easiest...
-
Super !
Again DLF/ALS Spirit here ! whoohoo ! :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
can we see the original font in comparison to andre's typewriter?
-
can we see the original font in comparison to andre's typewriter?
sure
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/compare.jpg)
and as you can see the US has used another typewriter, so i think its just what they have had available at the time ::)
-
Picked up the sheets in Hilversum today (luckily I had to work there today !)
Won't have them for long as Etienne will stop by on his way from work to home to pick'm up, now THAT's efficiency AND free shipping ;)
He'll also drop off something nice for me ;D
-
Just picked up the sheets, and dropped off something nice ;D
They are now safe on "The Attic tm" :D
Thanks for all involved, again a great proof of DLF Spirit ! :spaceace:
-
So when do you plan to go to the printer's ?
Do you have a good vid-cam ?
Planning on buying one ;)
-
i'll hopefully be able to get the new photo of the missing sticker at the weekend along with my order. my best friend charlotte is moving at the moment and instaed of renovating cabs we're renovating apartments ;D, which means not as much time as i would like to have for the hobby!
-
So when do you plan to go to the printer's ?

i have a canon A95 ATM which also can make vids as far as i know
planning is finishing up this month, printing somewhere in July, but i just have checked my agenda from work, and i see it's pretty full already due to collegues that have holiday... lets see, planning is July, lets hope its possible..
-
Hi, I did a Google search and found your forum thread. I'm very interested if possible to get some repro stickers from you. As reading other posts here, I'll make my list below. Thank you, I hope I'm not too late.
#4 - 12 of these (printed on metal foil) <-- I'll add my own serial and so forth
#5 - 12 of these (printed on metal foil) <-- I'll add my own serial and so forth
#11 - 12 of these (printed on metal foil)
#12 - 12 of these (printed on white)
I'm a collector of machines, so extras are always good, that is why the large number. Also let me know about payment. I can pay in advance or ? PayPal, check, money order, whatever. These look amazing that is why I'm very interested. Really surprised nobody has done this before. If the price is reasonable, I may add more the count. Thank you in advance.
-
not too late, and thanks for your order
i will add yours to the sheet, and take it in the run
the more people join, the cheaper the stickers will be in the end, thats why i dont have an estimate price yet.
looks like they will be between 5 and 10 bucks each.
I dont have a run in white atm, so i can take them on alu if you like , or later when i have a white run, i can take it with that.
just let me know what you like
-
Uh, first time poster.....gotta be a bit careful here....
-
Etienne, what do you think, is it possible to make a repro from that middle insert of the Zaccaria coin door?
I mean the one between the 2 red ones with the big "Z".

True, that is why I'll pay first.. You where a first time poster too, at one time.. :)

sure, only the embossing will be difficult..
scan it, measure it and send it ;D
maybe a piece of blanco alu sticker on top of this original metal plate to "copy" the embossing, fill that up with glue and stick it on top of a piece of plexi could work..
edit:
i forget, i want to make the red one too ;)

Fortunatly i have also a zacc coindoor, the logo in vector, and the correct font, so it is not a really big problem that you dont have that sticker...
i need to rephrase that, i say that you dont have that sticker, what i mean is that you dont have that sticker... yet ::)
just a little more patience my friend ;)
-

[duck and cover mode on]
Maybe our very reliable RAM controls can do that, i heard that they are very good in reproduction parts
[duck and cover mode off]
seriousely, maybe with plaster you can make a cast, and then melt tin / zink and pour that cast ?

You could try a 3D printing/fabrication service.

3: Irish Atari Alternative - Ready for Printing.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/07.jpg)
one question / remark regarding that sticker:
i've checked various cabs which use it and there is not a single cab where the sticker is made up of one part, it's always cut right through the middle. so will this sticker be offered in one pieces or in two pieces? how about adding a fine line right in the middle as a guide for cutting if this is done in one piece?
-
The insert scanned, also uploaded to your FTP. ;)

dont you see the pinky squares in there ?
those are the "cutlines"
so yes, they are a set, but two separate stickers, so i can add only one half if you like,
on the other hand, there is still space on the sheets, and $$ technically speaking its the same price for one separate as for the set since i calculated the estimated price based on the set counting as 1 sticker..
same is for the #11 sticker that is a set with #11a..
i think also that the price will be less than the estimated price per sticker, so youre good to go ;)
-
alright etienne, thx for clearing this up. so please make that "half sticker" i ordered a full one :)
-
nah, you want a half, you get a half ;D ;D ;D ;D
now seriously, i put you up for a "set" ;)
-
I'm very late to the game, but this pic is from the US Atari Football 2-player cocktail. I see one of these is being run, but the Amps and Watts one is not. Wish I had a better shot or a scan of it. Unfortunately, it's out of town and I won't be back there for a couple of weeks.
(http://i1026.photobucket.com/albums/y322/joeycuda/IMAG0169.jpg?1309324152)

just in the time that i have stated, so no worries
i was planning in July to take it to the printer, but i am not sure yet due to holidays of my collegues that i can make it in july , so if you can deliver better shots , i can still make that.
-
Etienne can i stil order a repo alu sticker :)
if yes i want a zaccaria one with seriel no V/130.67 5
cheers ;D
-
Look at the status post (second post) on the 1e page ;)

great cheers ;)

i was planning in July to take it to the printer, but i am not sure yet due to holidays of my collegues that i can make it in july , so if you can deliver better shots , i can still make that.
I just spoke with my employer and the new date is 5 october 2011
if nothing comes in between, i will visit the printers this date.
Thanks for your understanding
Etienne
PS. this means that the closing date for new orders will be extended to 31 of august, as long as there is space in the sheets that i already have here.

hellu
Got this sticker on the back of my Battle Shark, i´m in no need of a sticker, but if someone is, they have a chance (maby) that you would vectorize it??

What are the dimentions ?
oh and i know you live in the UK now, i still want them in millimeters not inches ;D
ps. i have seen that "electrocon" font before ::)
does anybody know what it is ?
-
hehe, i don´t use inches, and will properly never will... :lol:
The hight is 62mm
The width is 68mm

I'd like to get a few of these stickers myself, since the deadline's now extended. Can you put me in for two of the #2 Atari Irish stickers? Let me know if you'd prefer a PM. Thanks!
-
No probs, ill add you to the list
estimated time to print is 5 october if nothing gets in the way
i have a free day reserved at work, and i have the confirmation of the printer that that date is ok with them to visit and bet there while they print it

i have another one for "the vector que", etienne! :arrow:
(http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6194/6030340500_9acdc5e0bd_b_d.jpg)
doesn't look like it, but it is indeed an alu sticker found on the back of sega / gremlin cabs. is the photo good enough? of course those hand-written numbers for the european cabs would have to be inserted at the right spot. i stilll have to get the measures ...
-
@ Ully
I think i can work with it,
Also i dont have any "order" from you, so i will vector this, and you got time to see what you want and the measurements of this

Its the font that Robotron 2048 used on screen too :)

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: 1000 apologies, i found it in my email.....
i simply forget to put it on the first page, so thats where i was looking ...
i will read your order carefully tomorow, and add it to the first page, the you can verify if its correct ok ?
-
Ok Guys..
I have carefully added all the things that i could imagine to the production sheets.
Although i think i did everything according to the orders you gave me, i would strongly suggest to take a look at this post :
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2454.msg30561#msg30561 (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2454.msg30561#msg30561)
Check if your order is correct, and if not, let me know !
I am also human after all, and mistakes are human as you know...
so please check the status, and let me know if there is anlything wrong so i can ajust it before taking it to the printers 5 October.
Thank you !
Etienne

Need correction:
12x #4 - 12x #5 - 12x #11 - 12x #12
Reserved space for the orders i have received.
asteroidsNut: 12x #4 [Locked in sheet], 12x #5 [Locked in sheet], 12x #11 [Locked in sheet] & 11x #11a [Locked in sheet]
-
The thing is that #12 is originally a white sticker, and not a alu sticker, so thats why i have not put it in the sheet.
I dont have "white" print jobs atm.
do you want #12 printed on alu ?
If yes, i willl add them to the sheet.
please let me know..

Yesterday was the day that i went to the printers..
Private parking for visitors ::)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/1.jpg)
Let's enter the building, armed with the sheets that gyruss picked up for me, and Andre transported back to his place, where i could pick them up, since thats on route from and to my job many times in the week.
Thank you guys ! :spaceace:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/2.jpg)
First thing that i noticed was this cool ceiling that they have printed. cool decoration for a gameroom too !
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/3.jpg)
After some chatting with the owner and a tour through the company, i handed the files to his co-worker who started edditing and verify the files.
In the process he separated the magenta lines that i specified as "cutting lines".
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/4.jpg)
Lets take it to the press ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/5.jpg)
Now seriously,
The guy finishes the previous job on the printer, and recalibrated the printer for my job.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/6.jpg)
Calibration in progress.. :P
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/7.jpg)
First file loaded into the printer..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/8.jpg)
Starting up the printer, it checks its temperatures and that kind of things..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/9.jpg)
Placing the sheet to the conveyor belt, although the belt sucks the sheet to it by vaccuum, we still needed to tape it down since the corners had some wrinkeling due to transport :-\
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/10.jpg)
Luckily it was outside of the printing area.. :-*
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/11.jpg)
Loading the next sheet, again same process, lining out and tape it in place..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/12.jpg)
Printing in progress..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/13.jpg)
Here the owner is finishing the cutting job he was working on, after that its the alusheet's turn..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/14.jpg)
now the tricky part, since this is the first time they needed to cut this kind of material, it will be some trial and error...
the material is not supplied by them, and before we made the appointment back in the beginning of the year they already told me it could go wrong.
but anyway, they really wanted to try it and see if they can do it.
so they did all they can to make it a succes, a big plus for the printguys if you ask me. :spaceace:
they do cut aluminium and other materials, but then they mill it, but this is too thin to mill...
the sheet is in place, and again taped to the conveyor belt..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/15.jpg)
First test, cutting totally through the sheet, cutterhead is removed to install a brand new knive..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/16.jpg)
recalibrating the knive, and its time to do some tests...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/18.jpg)
Don't know if you can see it good here, but we tried a cut first on the side.
(the little square in the right side)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/17.jpg)
that test gave not the desired result, while cutting, the material gave jaggered edges so cutting through was not an option..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/19.jpg)
Another test, "slitting" (where another special kind of knive cuts only the top layer), the knive is much more "flat" so it slides better through the material..
after the testcut, carefully removing the testcut...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/20.jpg)
Hmm, looks very prommising !
straight edges, and a nice sharp cut.. :-*
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/21.jpg)
Contours loaded into the cutting device, ready to start..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/22.jpg)
Now disatergirl came around the corner... :twisted:
and after some investigation of the knive, the guy came to the conclusion that after the first testcut, the knive was already dull!
because it is aluminium, the slitting was in fact metal to metal contact, which made the knive dull instantly... >:(
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/23.jpg)
There was ofcourse a possibility to change the knive after every sticker, but at 30€ a knive that would make the stickers very very expensive ! :o
so we decided to cut them manualy...
I have the sheets at home now, and i need to cut them with a utility knive...
But there was one good thing, the cutting machine will be recognised in the future as it is labeled as an Atari !
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/24.jpg)
So it was a 50% succes, the printing is done with UV ink which is dried instantly by the two UV lamps in the print head.
I will cut the stickers "roughly" so you guys can make the corners with scissors if desired..
for the final price i need to wait for the invoice, so i can devide it..
It was a bit of a dissapointment for the cutting part, also for the printguys..
believe me they tried everything in they're power to fix it, but it was not doable.
They did give me another tip, which is lasercutting, but they dont have that equipment, and probably will raise the price again..
The only problem now is the etikets with rounded corners, the straight cuts i can do with the utility knive, so it was not all for nothing..
Lets see what will happen...
I need to find me some time to start cutting :P

Too bad you have to cut them manually, but they still look great.
Off topic question: Do you think this company will be able to print the front art of my Pleiades cab on Vinyl?
-
Absolutely
they can even print it straight on the wood if you take the panel out..
that printer can handle materials untill 5 CM thick !
his motto, as long as it fits under the printer i can print on it ;D
-
Very cool report Etienne !!!
Too bad about the cutting....that's a lot of extra work !!!
-
wow, etienne, what an effort! unfortunately, your effort will have to be even bigger now that you have decided to cut the stickers manually. is the material really so thick that a normal cutting knife can't cut through it?
as for the rounded edges, i always use a tool like this (http://www.amazon.de/3er-ECKENRUNDER-SAFE-847SP-BESTEHEND/dp/B002N3LD76) - works like a charm and produces perfectly round edges with the desired curve!
-

its not the thickness, because its very thin, its the metal to metal that dull's the knive.
we tried also with a utility knive, and if we hold the angle too high it gives jaggered cuts, i'd say the level needs to be like 15 degrees to have a straight cut with a utility knive... so yeah, i need to practice on my "extra" sheet..
as for the other tool, i never saw that before, is that like a punchpress or something ?
-
as for the other tool, i never saw that before, is that like a punchpress or something ?
basically, it's like a hole puncher for paper, only that it rounds the edges. there are cheap variations and more expensive ones, but if the material is not too thick the cheap one (probably CCC) will do. i've rounded a couple of edges so far (for example the williams sticker on my moon patrol) and it just works / looks great!
-
that sounds like i got a solution afterall for my corner problem....
Thanks for the tip !
I will investigate that !
-
Wow great tip...never seen those..
-
Great and interesting report, it was nice to see those beasts working. ;D
Too bad about cutting, but I guess everything will be fine at the end. ;)
-
Found a nice vid of the printer:

gives me an idea... maybe print the sidearts of my CKong on that printer is better than a decal.... ::)

Cool, but i'll leave the wood in place. ;)

Yesterday i took the sheets out of the package to experiment a bit with cutting.
I took the faulty sheet with me from the printers to practice, in that way i will not destroy this: :P
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/25.jpg)
I tried various techniques; a utility knive, a rolcutter and ordinary scissors..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/26.jpg)
While testing, i tried to salvage some stickers from the failed testsheet..
some of you may recognise the "Jamma Pinout Sticker" (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2987.0). ::)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/27.jpg)
The rolcutter and the ordinary scissors give the best results.
The utility knive suffers from the same effect as the CNC cutting machine, so the theory of the printerguy was totally right!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/28.jpg)
So that will be the way to go from here, first cut them to the size that they can fit under the rolcutter,
and to get a good straight cut as a finish, im going to use the rolcutter.
The rounded corners where nessecary, i will probably do with the tool that Ully tipped us about.
There goes the rest of the restsheet... bye bye testsheet :'(
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/production/29.jpg)
Now i need some "quiet time" to cut the rest of the sheets, since the material is delecate, it needs my full concentration.. :P
Ow, and one more test, i shot a video while cutting with scissors, and a "smudge test"..
It does not smudge, its rock solid !, so thats a very good thing ! :-*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gmZS7wNJjE

There are also handheld rotary cutters that are used by seamtrists: http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog/category.jsp?_DARGS=/joann/catalog/productdetailleftnav.jsp.9_A&_DAV=&_dynSessConf=-5988426301512097489&narrowSelection=false&categoryURL=true&CATID=cat393855&supercatId=cat1760
But I found that it is also best to use the mat for it as well.
-
Awesome job on the printing. As for cutting, humn we have laser cutters here that would work. See if you can find a laser cutter. I'll see if I can get a name and a model number of the one here at a friends shop.
-
I have no other words just PERFECT job. :spaceace:
-
Totally enjoyed the report and they look great !
I'll bring my original SW sticker tomorrow to do the ultimate 1 on 1 compare :)
-
yea great report ;)
that sheet with stickers looks great
nice job again
-

I have cut out some that where in the trash already, because to other sheets are in my attic wrapped again to protect untill i got time to cut them all
so they are a bit wrinkled, but you can see the quality etc etc.
-
Great report Etienne, and what a great effort. Kudo's to you. :spaceace:
-
I have received the invoice, and i calculated the costs...
I have good and bad news, the bad news first..
As you could see in the report on DLF, the cutting was a problem
But that is only a problem for etikets with round corners..
The straight etikets are fine, since i can cut those on my rol cutter, and with scissors
Now the good news, i have stated that the costs will be depended on the orders i have received, so that means more etikets, the cheaper the price per etiket.
I thought it would be between 5€ and 7,50€ each like stated in the first post, based on cutting and printing.
Since the cutting was a problem, the printer/cutter just billed me with the costs of the printing, and one knive for his cutting device.
Calculated with the orders i have received, the final price is 2,2€ per etiket.
I will start with the cutting soon, because i have had a very busy time last weeks, i simply did not have the time yet to cut them.
Anyway, when i have cut them, i will contact you guy's by PM to make the final arrangements.
I can provide a link to the PDF files that i have used, so you can use that as a template if you want to cut the round corners yourself with a scissors or something.

Little update,
My livingroom looks like a production area atm :)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut1.jpg)
I have cut the sheets into strokes with ordinary scissors, so they fit under my rolcutter..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut2.jpg)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut3.jpg)
Carefully put them into position..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut4.jpg)
I am cutting them as clean as possible, so that you guys can cut them to the exact size if desired.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut5.jpg)
The stickers have 5 mm. between them, and i simply cut it there so they are a bit bigger than the originals.
there are people that requested the actual size though, and those i will cut to the exact size ofcourse ::)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut6.jpg)
Take 1, Camera.. Light... Action!

CUT! ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut7.jpg)
And presto ! nice and sharp cutted :-*
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut8.jpg)
One sheet done !
note that this was a bulk, and the person wanted to cut them himself, so i cutted them in strokes of 6, so they fit in an "A4" Envelope for shipping.
NEXT! ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut9.jpg)
Two more sheets to go, same process ;)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/cutting/cut10.jpg)
Will continue soon, it was a bit late yesterday when i finished the first sheet...

incredible effort! honestly, we need to pay you more for the stickers, but just the price you mentioned. if they had cut it at the factory, it would have cost more as well ...
-
...honestly, we need to pay you more for the stickers, but just the price you mentioned......
Ok, your stickers are 7,50 € each then ;D :lol: :D
no seriously,
I will specify the amount in the PM for each participant, and also the paypal adress.
If there are people that like to transfer more than the specified amount, they are free to do so :D
Remember that i am not doing it to profit as stated before..

At first sight, the scene looks like a gangster who reproduce identity card or whatever ;D ;)
Wow, these stickers look really great, congratulation! :)
-
I´m not in on this deal, but one word comes to my mind..
INSANE
In the good way!!!
-
Still cutting and slipping them in envelopes atm :P
I need to admit that the cutting and sorting is indeed time consuming, but a man has got to do what a man has got to do ! ;D
Every day a little and then its finished soon...
-
Cutting done :)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/done.jpg)
Slipped everyting in enveloppes and took the weight of each of them to calculate the shipping costs.
The envelopes i used are enforced ones with cardboard to prevent blending during shiping.
I will attach labels with "fragile" and "do not blend" on them as an extra precaution.
I hope the postal service doesn't screw up.. ;D
People involved will receive a PM soon with details.
-
All PM's are send, some people have responded and payed.
The people that have payed can expect they're stickers soon, since this night i packed them into "cardboard rugged envelopes".
I have added some labels with "fragile/do not blend" and i have sticked them with a little piece of masking tape on a piece of paper so they stay away from the edges of the envelope to prevent damage.
Be carefull when you take them out so you don't wrinkle them when removing from the "support paper" ;)
I'll drop them in the mail tomorow.
Finally i see the profit of my Dymo ;D

Cool little printer, often thought of getting one of those...
Is it good enough to do the VAN sticker ?
-
Yeah i think so..
it is a thermic head printer, but it stays pretty good i must say..
Let me give it a try on the VAN sticker... ;)
Will try it tomorow, its attached to my wife's pc ::)
-
Cool :)
Resolution looks pretty good !
-
awesome work etienne!
I officialy canonize you "St Etienne of Arcadeum". :spaceace:
I was thinking, do you know if this printer can print bezel or marquee directly in the back of a plexiglass? It would been soOOo nice! :P
By the way, i love those metallic jamma stickers ! ;)
-
I have asked them if that was possible, but there is a technical aspect that is an issue.
Its not the printing that is a problem, because the guy says as long as it fits under the printer they can print on it.
The problem is the ink.
That is Transparent... so it has a good coverage, and probably will look good at first sight, but when you lit the fluorecent lamp behind it, you will see the lightfixture "shine throug"..
Thats why they adviced me to go a different route and that is print in mirror on the non adhesive side of transparent vinyl, and paste white vinyl over that.
so the adhesive side will have the correct image while the ink is trapped between the two layers of vinyl, which also give another advantage, which is protection of the ink.
The colors are calibrated on the white background, so if you want the correct colors, you need a white (or simular tint where they can calibrate to) surface to print on.
now i can imagine you think; Hey why not print on the normal side of white plexi ?
Then you have the ink on the outside of the marquee..
it is possible ofcourse, but in the past they silkscreened it on the back, so i think that is the way to repro IMHO.
-
Again, very solid work Etienne! Whats you next big project going to be?
Didn't your son need something to practice his crazy kong skills with? ;)
-
hehe, thanks gyruss..
My next project is in progress atm..
my staircase in my house ;D
I promissed the wife i would finish the house before i start my "games project" as she likes to call it..
As mentioned before, i have promissed her that, so thats what i will do 8)

Since my wife's pc only has Foxit reader for pdf's i could not reposition or scale it so good.. :'(
but...
there
is
hope...
I took the AI file, saved it as EPS, took that in photoshop while importing it it asked the resolution i wanted so i said 1200 dpi
must be high enough for a 7x2,2cm sticker ;D
Saved it as a TIFF and took the software that came with the printer.
opened the designer and imported the picture..
after some shifting i found a position that fitted completely :spaceace:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/van2.jpg)
Sorry for the flash.. :oops:
The etikets are not 100% compatible with my printer, so thats why i needed to shift a bit in the designer..
I printed 10 more so you have enough now for all your cabinets ;)
Will be delivered with the alu stickers ..

Wohoooo, thank you Etienne !!! Thought this would be a piece of cake, but still a lot of work !!!
This is going to look sweet !
-
Just some quotes..
Hi Etienne,
Got the stickers yesterday, they look SUPER!!
Thanks again for taking this project on.
Take care,
Rich
Green Bay
Got them, they look great! Thank you.
Chris
And there is interest in more, so maybe there will come another run ::)
-
Got mine last week. It looks great!
Thanks for doing this Etienne!
Now to get my hands on an old type-writer. ;D
-
I have packed everything, and the results are in (leftoverwise speaking)
I have left over 4x #11 and 4 sets of Jamma pinout edgeconnector stickers:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/leftovers.jpg)
Thats it, the rest is all packed and almost all are payed and send.
Thanks to everyone involved to make this to a big succes !
-
There is some interest from KLOV members for more, so i can start to collect again untill i got a full sheet
these are 100x70 cm and will carry aprox. 75 stickers...
let me know if you want some more, or if you missed this run and you want some now, or if there is anything not here that you want, i can vector it and put it in the sheet.
-
once they get "the superully approval" on saturday, i will order more :P
-
As you might have read in this topic:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2454.0
it was a huge succes, bigger than i expected.
I have decided to take new orders for another run.
I have to collect a full sheet to justify the costs.
you can understand that 1 sticker would be way too expensive, so the more "orders" the better i would say.
I cannot give a time of printing since i dont know when the sheet is full.
Anyway, the sheet measurement is 100 x 70 cm. and calculating roughly there fit 70 - 75 etikets in one sheet (depending on the size ofcourse)
once the sheet is full, i can let it print, or if there is more than one sheet, even better which reduces the costs.
Based on the last run, the costs per etiket is € 2,20 and depending on the quantity the shipping may vary.
Again, like the first run, the idea is not to profit from it.
i will display the pics of the etikets that are here in the next post, and if there is anything that is not there which you like, i can create that if there is a good picture / scan available with measurements in millimeters. (yeah yeah i know you guys like inches but i am european hey )
also in the next post i will keep track of the received orders.
-
I have finished up the first run, and decided to collect for another run because it was abig succes !
Thanks for all involved ! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
once they get "the superully approval" on saturday, i will order more :P
You can !
right here ;)

doesn't look like it, but it is indeed an alu sticker found on the back of sega / gremlin cabs. is the photo good enough? of course those hand-written numbers for the european cabs would have to be inserted at the right spot. i stilll have to get the measures ...
note to self:
10.2 x 5.1 cm

That one is too good to replace.

Have not created it yet, but i will ;)
not now though, i was too busy fixing a neck from someone's f@cked up monitor.... ;D
Also the Qbert sticker i still need to make, but there is no hurry, the printing is not yet planned, although some serious numbers are comming from klov though..
Anyway, i will not forget that ;)

agreed! but i have two more cabs without it ;)

I would like one for my Missile Command and one for my Gauntlet, but im not sure which ones they are....

I know...
I also know the condition of yours...
Heck, i even know the serial number ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/qbert.jpg)
As for the missile command, i need to check the thread on klov, i think there was a guy there who ordered one for missile command...
EDIT:
JoeB1355 ordered sticker #4 for his missile command (and posted a pic)
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=174045 (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=174045)
Thats the same style as the #2, only that is ireland, and #4 is US.
I dont know if your missile command was irish or us build ?

i still need to order some (and let you know about a slight correction on one of the stickers), but unfortunately school is crazy at the moment, so i don't know when i have the time to submit my order. will you start a second sheet once the first one is full?

@Etienne
It was properly Irish built, but ill go for the Irish one... (#2)
Dont know about the Gauntlet.... but if it is there, ill like to order one for that too...

sure, why not ;) :D
I have asked Pieter to pickup again 4 pieces at the supplier...
so if the second sheet is not full, i just collect there again untill its full again..
Anyway,
I did a little experimenting with embossing the "Clarendon bold" font.
Not a succes, since illustrator converts it to raster and applies the embossing effect then..
that looked horible since it is so small
IMHO too many jaggered edges, and it will totally ruin the nice sticker.
So i went the other direction, it is not possible to get the exact effect as imprinted letters ofcourse,
but a little gray tint put in top of a grey field that represents the color of the aluminium gave me satisfying results..
Now i have done some different fonts, since the "clarendon" looked too thick
I searched for a simular font:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/font/vani.jpg)
Another candidate, this time a little more classic.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/font/centuryschoolbook.jpg)
then just plain "courier" since they use that also many time in real typewriters (well at least in europe the did)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/font/couriernew.jpg)
but all in all it did not "catched me" :-\
Then i found this, it looked way more authentic to me..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/font/1942report.jpg)
and at last the one that attracts me the most, since it does have a more authentic effect than the somewhat "destroyed/old" effect that the previous had.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/font/travellingtypewriter.jpg)
If you ask me, then i use the last.
but maybe you have another prefference..
What you guys think ?

Now its time to tackle the q*bert, but i need to visit you andre with my scanner, or a better picture..
I cannot cook chocolate of the pic i took ;)

great etienne, thx a lot! i'll testprint it tomorrow on a transparency and compare it against the original. i'll report back to you with the results!

I have put you up for 1x #2 and 1x #? (for the gauntlet)

And do you have any data you want to be printed in there or do you want to go blanco and use a typewriter ?
please print 0001 :D (not kidding!)

Ok
And model ?

Ireland...

Yeah i figured that, but i mean the model data.. ;)
Like this says "EDST" but i think that was Andre's sticker (" E... D.... STarwars")
dont know where the E & D stand for..

Oh and dont forget which font you want it printed in ?
(look at the 5 samples earlier in the thread)

Today i was in the center of our town and i dropped by a hobby shop to check if they have the punch Ully was talking about..
They did!, and damn cheap also, which is always nice :P
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/1.jpg)
Can't wait to try this out and see if it works like i want to have the corners..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/2.jpg)
The radius looks good from what i can see in the bottom of the punch..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/3.jpg)
I still have 4 left-overs from the first run which do need round corners..
Let's prepare them to the correct size first..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/4.jpg)
Insert the corner in the punch and push the button..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/5.jpg)
OMG! its perfect ! :o
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/6.jpg)
Very satisfying IMHO ! :spaceace: :spaceace:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/punch/7.jpg)
Looks like the next batch of stickers will be perfect cut afterall.. ::)
-
nice etienne, just as i had expected. let's hope that cheap tool lasts longer than just a couple of corners!
-
hehe, funny thing..
the manual says that if you have the feeling that it is not cutting well anymore you should sharpen it by punching aluminium foil :lol:
i guess mine will never be dull then ;D
-
Ok, then: MTGI.....
-
It has been noted... ;)
Any preference for a font ? or just the last that i use standard ?
-
Like this please:

Just with 240v and i don't know about the amps... What are we using in europe???
-
The Irish machines had 230V on them, not 240.
The amps differ per machine. F.I. a SW cockpit draws a lot more power than MC.
There seem to be a number of people wanting serial nr. 0001 which is funny because Atari never used that serial nr.
They had a coded system from a certain point in time so the competitor couldn't figure out how much machines there were made.
Also. serial nrs. 001 and (and around) would probably be for "inside" machines, the first builds etc.
Bally f.i. started numbering the serial production of Galaxian from nr. 100.
Anyway, soon we will see e-bay listings "The very first (fill in game name) built !, thus worth twice the normal price" ;) ;) ;)
That corner cutter looks perfect ! :)
-
Yes, if you look at the irish sticker, it has a fixed value of 230 volts:
(http://gallery.me.com/andre.huijts/100027/DSCF3860/web.jpg?ver=12516620880001)
The Amps looks like its not 2,5, but 2.5 and the dot is in the center so i think they mean 2-5 which makes sence
I think all atari machines draw between 2 and 5 amps. 8)
-
The Irish machines had 230V on them, not 240.
The current currant in DK is 240v, and it's it's current home.... ;D
-
The Irish machines had 230V on them, not 240.
The current currant in DK is 240v, and it's it's current home.... ;D
Michael, michael...you're mixing up things.
In electricity there is electric tension which is usually called and indicated in Voltage. On all wall outlets in Europe there is (about) 230V. It used to be 220V on mainland Europe and 240V in the UK. However many years ago the UK lowered a bit to 240 and mainland increased a bit to 230V.
So, I find it hard to believe that Denmark has 240V now....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_electricity_by_country
Apart from that, the electrical Current which runs through an electrical device is determined by what tha device does. F.I. a small LED liht bulb draws very little current, an electrical oven draws a lot.
Anyway........whatever....." ;D :D ;D ;D ;D
-
Yeah, indeed "whatever" ;D
i am not going to change the fixed values, since i already traced the fonts to paths 8)
Besides it also states +-10% so its value states that everything between 207 and 253 will work ;)

Incidently I played Galaga last week at Robin's. Very nice looking cab !
I played one game and Robin missed the opportunity to take a pic of me playing Galaga !!
I much preferred the GORGEOUS Vanguard, I think its the best looking Zacc I've seen so far !!

Yes, no problems, for the galaga, is that white vinyl or alu that you want it on ?
send me the measurements and a straight pic, and i'll create it and take it in the run for you
Taito looks good enough for me, but i know you are anal, so when you got the measurements ill send you a pdf first that you can print on transparant, or print on plain paper and make it wet .
Talking of analness, how is the adjustment on the #2 that i send you ?

thx for all those efforts, you were very busy today, etienne! i have three printouts lying here in front of me, waiting to be "transferred" to transparency tomorrow for a closeup check against the original!
-
Yeah, some days i have more "in between job" time than other days.
Yesterday was alot of install work, so i need to click "next" once in a while and the pc does the rest.. heavy job ;D
So i took advantage of the waiting time so to speak,
Anyway, i hope they are ok, if there is some adjustments, let me know and i'll take care of it and they will be identical then
Thanks for checking, in that way they will be more accurate and everybody profits from that.

Thanks Pieter ! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

@Andre, just measure the B#tch, it probably too much torn up to make an exact copy of it anyway ;D
Maybe Luigi can help us out ? i dont know if his cab has the sticker still there ?

I'll take a look and see what is left :)

Okay, that Q*bert is tackled.
Today i picked up the sheets at Gyruss place, and played some moon patrol and DK 8)
Was nice to see you again Pieter !
Thanks for picking them up at the suppliers. :spaceace:
i am never in the neighbourhood during theyre openings hours.
-
Etienne, is this the thread that I made the Taito decal for? I will add the coin inserts for you tomorrow for the white vinyl. Hope that is ok.
Si
-
Sure, be my guest ;)
-
@etienne: have you already set a date with the printer guy?
-
not yet, i need to finish some files first, but its a bit busy at the moment..
-
Wow....if Etienne is busy he is REALLY busy knowing his endless energy ;)
-
Material and files are dropped off at the printers this morning.
He will call me when its ready, I hope it is today so i can drive by again after work ...
-
Exciting times! Really impressive Etienne. Thank you from us all.
-
Just got word from the printer that the job is ready for pickup.
If everything is going as planned i can pass tomorow after work by to pick it up.
-
yes!!! how many sheets in total did you do this time? looks like your evenings are already planned for the next few weeks :P
-
2 full sheets alu from 70 x 100 cm and one white vinyl sticker from 130 x 91,5 cm
-
Fantastic! Looks amazing. I've been educated on Zaccaria cabs on this forum and love their aesthetic style. It's right up my street... particularly the wooden style cabarets. Would there be any spare Zaccaria stickers for sale?

pretty impressive!!

then you like my avatar ;D
about your question,
well, that depends what you are looking for..
its is mainly printed to order, and i have 2 zacc stickers in this run,
one alu serial, and one white vinyl coindoor :
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/05.jpg)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/22.jpg)
-
Some efficient use of material !!!! Well done, you did a job nobody seemed interested in and we have to be v thankful for it !!!
-
yeah, i tried to rotate and shift some more, because i needed space for one more etiket.
but i could not squeeze that in anymore nomatter what i tried to puzzle.
so i spoke with the "requestor" and left that etiket out of the run.
the only possible way to print that was to add a 3th sheet which in return would increase the total price which ovious will raise the final price per etiket very negative.
i could also wait more orders and fill a third sheet, but that would also take a longer time again.
so to keep things simple i just filled them up to the max ;D
-
Okay, i picked them up at the printers today after work.
After a big trafficjam i arrived back home with the goodies.
One roll of vinyl and one "cardboard sandwich"
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/1.jpg)
Lets take a closer look, the vinyl..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/2.jpg)
The aluminium sheets..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/3.jpg)
Closer..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/4.jpg)
another..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/5.jpg)
do you see your etikets somewhere here ? ;)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/6.jpg)
Since the big sheets are very fragile, i decided to cut them up into strips.
they need to be cut anyway, otherwise they dont fit under my cutter..
First sheet done..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/7.jpg)
Time to cut sheet #2..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/8.jpg)
Almost there..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/9.jpg)
And sheet 2 is also cutted to smaller strips.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/10.jpg)
Later i will start the defenitive cutting, that will take again some time.
I'll do my best to finish it up asap so i can start shipping.
-
Nice! Didn't notice you were doing the Taito Corporation coin door decals!
-
Impressive! Many thanks from all the Community for that great job! Also love the pictures ... so 'Arcade Life Style' :-*
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
Thanks guys
@ataritoobin
i'll quote my first post ;)
i will display the pics of the etikets that are here in the next post, and if there is anything that is not there which you like, i can create that if there is a good picture / scan available with measurements in millimeters.
SimpleSi asked for them.
but its true that its not displayed in the post, but that is because i cannot edit old post..
on klov i got a simular threat about these stickers which has more pictures than here.
if there is a next time, i will post example pics in another way (link to a page or something)
anyway, do you need one ? i think i got one spare... i wanted to fill the empty space in the puzzle ;D
(see the bottom right corner, there was exactly a spot for one extra :P)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print2/4.jpg)
-
Did a little cutting today..
every day a bit, and it will be finished soon .
-
Oopps, I totally missed the last few updates on this. :oops:
Those big sheets with different manufacturer's stickers looks great, nice to see Zaccaria, Atari, Gottlieb, Taito, etc. together. ;)
Another fanatstic job my Friend! :spaceace:

Will try to finish the cutting this comming week, its is rather busy here atm, so sorry for the delay guys..
but it will be done soon ! ;)

Cant believe you're wasting time with your kid in the snow while you could be having SO much fun cutting 1423 stickers ;D ;D ;D ;D
Seriously: I have some "spare" time this week so I could help you if you drop off some stuff...maybe cutting corners ?
-
Thanks for the offer, but dont worry, i am starting again this night, and this week i don't have a customer from which i pass your place..
-
just finished the second batch of alu cutting..
one more alu session, and then i can start with the white cutting
enough for today ;)
-
OMG; ;D that must be fun :)
-
Looks like i got some spare time tonight so i will finish up the alu cutting.
When i got things sorted out, i will pm you guys individually.
sorry for the delay guys, its crazy times at my normal daytime job ;)
-

There was no deadline, so no delay. ;D
Great job you did there! :spaceace:
-
And the cutting of the alu has finished.
Will do the round corners while packing..
Next free night the White roll of vinyl will be cut ;)
-
woho, fantastic etienne. how many stickers did the order include this time - and how many did you do the first time around?
i'll have to test me newly aquired typewriter next week during the winter holidays ;)
-
how many stickers did the order include this time - and how many did you do the first time around?
Too much ! ;D ;D ;D
no, seriousely
i don't know the exact count, but i do know it was more work than the last time because i needed to cut every sticker separately.
the last time i could deliver some "A4 sized" slices to a big order...
I need to count the totals from this post to see if i did everything correctly :D

And i started to cut the white today..
I cut them with scissors to pieces that fit under my rolcutter.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/white1.jpg)
Then i used my rolcutter and started with some finishing cuts..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/white2.jpg)
Not all done yet, more later when i got another free evening ;)
-
The red Zaccs look great, nice job Etienne! ;)
-
Thanks !
I hope you like the blue too ;)
-
i can spot "my" stickers as well! :)
-
Little update
The worst part is over, the cutting is done !

I need to find me some time to sort the rest out and prepare them for shipping.
In the meantime i ordered another round corner punch,
I have a 10 mm, but that is too big for the red warning stickers, so i ordered a 5 mm...
that way i can use both :D
-
found a little time this evening, and started to roundcorner punch and pack some..
-
For the small etikets, my round cornerpunch was too big (1 cm radius).
so i ordered a 5 mm radius punch for the small ones.
It is a different label, but it also works like a charm!
-
fantastic, etienne, those corner punches are cheap and do a perfect job - and so do you!!! :spaceace:
-
Überanal Etienne, Zacc stickers look awesome! ;)
-
Yet another little update.
Looks like i am ready for another evening of packing :D
I am sure i wil not finish it tonight, but i like to keep you guy's posted on the progress
-
Everything sorted out so far.
Sending PM's as we speak ;)
-
Skimmed this thread now. I just love this kind of dedication to the community, and the stickers look killer cool as well. Well done, Etienne! :)
-
Thanks ! :D
-
Everybody who paid can expect theyre package soon.
I have dropped them in the mail today.

You put a lot of time and work to this Etienne again, THANK YOU!!! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Indeed, amazing-amazing-amazing the effort and time you put in to help others in the hobby !!
You must be very happy that it's done now... :)
-
Yeah, i am happy that this round is finished ;)
It still is fun to do for me, and as long as there are no deadlines i like to help where i can.
If the fun is gone for me, i will not do it anymore, it must stay fun :P

After seeing you like my method of adressing, i hope you like the contents of the enveloppe also :P

I didn't dare to open it yet ! ;)
Seriously, Etienne put the street and number on it plus the post code, and well the post doesn't need more ;)

Some tips: Be REALLY careful with the alu stickers, it's very easy to damage them. They are also pretty hard to separate from the backing, I uses a sharp knife to get a small start.....
-
Thanks! It looks wonderfull !
I see you posted on KLOV too :D
-
got them. Thanks Etienne :)

I received a nice envelope with the usual sign on friday :D

Thanks again Etienne. ;)

Youre very welcome, that was the least i could do in return for the spacestation bezel !
Coincidently i picked the bezel (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3480.msg48340#new)up this very weekend :D
The stickers look geat on the coindoor !
I will also apply them on my doors soon ;)
I am happy you like them!
-
After seeing Bela's coindoors, i could not resist to apply one of my stickers to my coindoor.
First clean with alcohol towels..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/Crazykong/Fase2/door1.jpg)
And then it is applied, i am very happy with the result !

I've missed the complete Repro Run;-(
Is there a chance of a second run? later this year?
CU
Digimon

unfortunately my stickers still haven't arrived - i'm having a bad feeling they got lost on their way from holland to germany! :'( i haven't given up hope yet though ...
-
Or they know the adress at customs and keep it there for extra inspection ;D
I hope they turn up, and if not, we always find a solution ;)
great work!
I've missed the complete Repro Run;-(

You mean a thirth run ::) ;D
Yeah maybe later this year, i have some other requests also for some more alu.
I still have one sheet unprinted here, so in theory i could do another sheet.
What was it you where looking for precisely ?
-
Hi Etienne,
I am in the need of
#1 - the zaccaria serial alu
#22 - the red zaccaria coin door
Because of my two zacs i need every sticker twice.
Regards
Digimon
-
For the 2 zacc's alu you can contact bencao74 from this forum, he bought some for his webstore, so you can order them from him.
http://wp1114205.wp150.webpack.hosteurope.de/xtcmodified/index.php?language=en& (http://wp1114205.wp150.webpack.hosteurope.de/xtcmodified/index.php?language=en&)
as for the red coindoor decal, i need to check at home what i have left, it might be exactly two that i have extra, if not, i dont know how many Belike needs, but he ordered a whole bunch and maybe can miss 2 for you.
I'll let you know when i got home.
-
I have 6 of the red coindoor stickers here left.
So if you want two, PM me your adress and i'll send them to you.
-
Got the stuff :-* :arrow:
(https://www.dragonslairfans.com/forforum3/arcade_serial_number.jpg)
My Pong, my Krull, my jamma connector and I .. say : Thank you Etienne! Great job!
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
Do you have 2 or 3 red coindoor stickers for me ?
-
Yes i do, I have exactly 3 left.
Send me your adres in PM please ;)
-
Cool 8)
thank you very very mutch :wink:
I think the look great on my crazy kong , vanguard and scramble :-*
-
I think also ;)
It makes it complete IMHO
Well, guys, thats it, i am out of etikets, so if you need some, i need to start run #3 ;D
The only i still got here are the paper version of the red warning stickers as seen in Bruno's picture.
They can go for free since they did not cost me anything either, only postal costs if i need to send them to you.
I would like to thank everybody for participating, without you this would not have happened.
I have 1 sheet unprinted of aluminium, so i can take some orders, but dont know when it will be printed since i need to fill it to justify costs.
Another thing is that if there is requests for stickers that i have made for Bencao74, i need to send you to him as he bought them for in his web shop.

Hey Etienne, thanks for the link. :) Please contact me per pm or contact form. I`m just working on the shop page.

I received the Zac stickers, Etienne. Thanks a lot mate! You rule!
-
Thanks dude!

So , the second run was again a succes.
I have made a mistake in one of the orders, and it looks like Ully's package never made it to him.
We guess its lost in the mail :(
Anyway, i wanted to correct the mistakes that i did in the run, and i have still one empty alusheet here.
Also the order involved a error on a etiket that was printed on white vinyl.
So i am taking another load on the shoulders and introduce the "Re-return of the alusticker/vinylsticker reprorun" ;D
Folow this link and submit your requests if you want some.
New topic : Re-return of the alusticker/vinylsticker reprorun (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=3545.0)
(exept for the etikets that are available through Bencao's webshop)
i dont want to steal customers from him ;)

Hi Etienne. You re a great guy, you know that? :spaceace:
I would like to you to print one of my superhangon sticker .
It is alu but it's surfaced in white. Can your print dude do that?
Here is a sample:
(http://i49.servimg.com/u/f49/16/19/20/12/warnin10.jpg)
I know it sound a bit dull to print a sticker on alu if you cannot see it, but its "just like sega did". :roll:
-
Lol, nice topic title. :D
-
I had an idea, maybe it's something for the next run of stickers:
What about an instruction sticker for multi boards like the Double Donkey Kong, Pac man 96in1, Centi/milipede or maybe even the 60in1?

Nope, that is probably silkscreened with a white layer first.
I can have it print on white vinyl for you and stick that on top of alusticker if you like that ;D
-
I think i ll manage it myself. ;D

There are two simple tiny silvery stickers under the marquee that generally seem to be missing on the Space Harrier bezel.
Unfortunately mine are missing and it's hard to find a decent pic of them!
Count me in for a Taito coin door sticker!
-
Ill write you up for a #27 ;D
I can do alot, but the sources for the space harrier pic is too small :-\

Oups i didnt see it.
Count me for a 27 too! :)

Yeah absolutely too low res of a pic...I'll see if I can get better pics of the Space Harrier stickers!
EDIT: Whoa, missed #25 - I'm in need of one of those too :)

It is a upright...
BELA !!! , do you have the stickers inside your uprights ?? ;D
-
Fortunately it is there in one of them. :D
I removed the chassis, but still can't make a straight shot from the whole sticker, the monitor frame is on the way. I did my best and uploaded the results to your ftp. ;)(and some zacc stuff also) ;)
-
Did i already say that you are the best ? ;) :P
Now only i need some measurements... :D
Could you enter the cab again with a measuring tape ?
-
Of course, just tell me what do you need. ;)
-
at least the height and the width
If you can do other measurements like for example this picture, that is even more awesome.
and after creation, i can send the pdf to you for verification ?
-
Here we go :D
Width:10.3 cm.
Height:4.4
Letter "D" in "danger" distance from left side 1.2
Letter "D" in "danger" distance from the top 1.1
Letter "H" in "high" distance from left side 0.3
Letter "H" in "high" distance from top 1.8
The lowest point of the left arrow from the bottom 0.9
Distance between the letter "E" in "voltage" from the letter "H" in "haut" 0.7
If you need more "hard to reach" datas, just let me know. ;)

Cut them a bit smaller to prevent damage while handling..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print3/p3f3.jpg)
Made a smaller cardboard enveloppe 8)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print3/p3f4.jpg)
Time to take a peek at the white vinyl...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print3/p3f5.jpg)
Just to give you an idea of the size, here a shot of the sticker unrolled..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print3/p3f6.jpg)
Looks like there was a piece of leftover still in the printer, i did not ask for unprinted vinyl..
Well, this comes in handy, since i want to have something to practice applying the pong bezel.. :P
Need to see when i got time to start cutting...
-
3 hours? :o
Things are still quite different in "western-europe". :D
You rock! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Looks sweet! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

The wife has an appointment this evening, so a perfect opportunity for me to start cutting..
Started with rough cuts with a scissor..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/print3/cut1.jpg)
And now they fit under my roll cutter ;D

And no, i never heard of that station, but i just gave it a try,and i heard this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFPajU-d-Ek
It can go straight to the Eurocade jukebox if you ask me ! :D
-
Finished the cutting of the vinyl today..
Next up, cutting the aluminium and then i can start sorting out and sending you guys PM's
Just a little more time, and the 3th run is also done ;)
I know i said that this is ready when its ready, but still i want to thank you for your patience.
Etienne
-
I bet your cutter is almost dull by now...as always great work...
-
hehe, you would say, but its a metal wheel against a metal base, with every stroke its sharpening itself!
I bought it when i was a kid (read +- 16-17) and it still does the job perfectly!
http://www.dahle.com/products/trimmers/RollingTrimmers/professional.htm
-
Ah ! Another example where an investment in something that costs a bit more pays of a lot in the long run.....sounds so familiar.... :D
-
yes, it was not cheap at the time, but i never regret it !
not only for this, but in the past we also liked paper versions of photoalbums, and it has been a great help in those days..
And not to mention, guess what cutted the lastyears eurocade badges... ;)
-
Just finished the Aluminium also.
Time to sort things out and send some PM's
Hope to have it sorted out comming week..
-
Yum yum ! ;D
-
Started with sorting and packing today..

This is amazing :spaceace:

-
You are so crazy!
I love it ;)

Great job, Etienne, as usual! :)
As long as it's a straight edge to cut it's not a problem. It gets funny if it comes to round corners ::)
-
Not a problem, i got 2 of these:

one has a 0,25 cm radius, the other 0,5 cm radius ;D

Where do you get these tools for cutting the rounds?

I dont have intentions to recreate these, but i would like to show them to you guys
I never saw them before :

I will update you guys when i can
-
Cutting is done, and some of them are packed by now:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/packing4.jpg)
used again cardboard to prevent damage and bending and normal paper between them:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/packing2.jpg)
Be carefull not to wrinkle them when you unpack them, they are hold in place by some masking tape on the back of the etiket.
i reccomend to cut out the paper on the back to separate them from each other.
i also applied some warning labels like the previous times, i hope the postalservice also notice this :)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/donotbend.jpg)
i will PM everyone involved soon with details to proceed.
Thanks

pretty fast again, i dropped them in the mail last tuesday afternoon !
2 days from holland to Hungary, not bad if you ask me :spaceace:

Yeah, super fast, thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! ;)

Well it is just a 2 hour flight of course ;D

Well it is just a 2 hour flight of course ;D
That may be, but i have send to Germany and Belgium, and they take sometimes up to 2 weeks before its there...
I guess the dutch and hungarian postal system have a good route :lol:
-
Yeah, I guess the amount of post to Hungary is a lot lower than to Belgium and Germany and following that the post goes by air to Hungary I bet, also because of the distance.
To Germany and Belgian it's all road transport.
However, 2 weeks is extremely long for those countries....

Little update.
I am planning to do another decal run.
in the last year i have received numbers of requests by PM for another run.
I have kept all of those, and i made a inventory of my PM's.
to make my life a bit easier (as this is just hobby and not a business for me) i started thinking about how to keep track of all the requests and orders.
as i only do these once in a while, i needed a system and i found some free webstore solution which i am experimentating with as we speak.
also there was the situation that along the way (read during the collecting time to have enough for a efficient run) that there came variants on decals and i needed to label them 5a, 5b, 5c etc etc.
that was making everything more and more dificult so i decided to start sorting all i have an put it in that webstore.
Take a look if you like, and i will let you guys know when the store is "open" ;)
http://www.easywebshop.com/arcadedecals
I know some of you have ordered sets in the past, and i am trying to get also sets up there per machine.
if anyone would like to help out on what labels go into a perticular set i am all ears :P
first things first, let me get organised and take it from there.

Am I too late to order?
-
No, you are not ;)
Quote from klov (sorry did not post that here)
Guys, you can start to collect what you like to have, but you also need to wait untill i figured things out and everything is in the webstore pagina.
i will not start a run before i got that in order.
i understand its nice to post now what you want and need, but i will only take orders after i finish that website.
i dont mean to sound negative, but in this moment i am putting my attention in this webshop site and not on collecting the orders for the next run.
I love to help everyone out, but to make things go smooth, i need to finish the webshop first.
it will give me the data i need when you guys place your orders on the webstore and in a consistent way.
it has been hard to keep track of everything just in the threads, so to prevent errors in the future, this will be the route we take.
i did put some labels to the shop the last days, and will try to fill it asap. (every day a few items must be do-able ;) )
thanks for your patience and trust guys !
I did add some items the last days, and will try to do a few every day and finish up soon.

Hi guys
As you all know by now, i am reproducing the Aluminium Serial stickers for various cabs.
Check this topic if you don't know what i am talking about:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2351.0 (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2351.0)
I have done some investigation and i have a source for this kind of sticker and a estimated price from my printer to print this.
The size of the sheet is 100 x 70 cm. and i can squeeze in alot of alu stickers.
If you are in need of a reproduction serial sticker, this is the time to sign up.
I have no intention of making profit from this, im just reproducing my 2 zacc stickers, and some Atari's
The more people that join , the cheaper the price per sticker will be.
For now it looks like the stickers will be between € 5,- and € 7,50 per piece, depending of the size of the sticker.
In principal, that price does not include shipping outside Holland, but that should not be high as they fit easy in a standard envelope.
I say in principal, because if there are enough people, the price per piece will be lower, and the shipping wil justify it again then.
You will receive your sticker(s) cut out with a computerguided slith (see the magenta line on the pics below)
thats the line the computerguided knive will folow.
If there is a sticker that you will like to have, and i have not reproduced it yet, then i can still do that.
Just send me a straight shot of the sticker or scan and the dimentions, and i will vector it and take it in the run for you.
Also let me know if you want the serialnumbers printed or not (see the atari sticker for example, that is punched, not printed)
and ofcourse if you want it printed, provide me the correct serialnumbers that you want in your sticker ;)
The stickers that currently are beeing reproduced are these:
1: Zaccaria - Ready for Printing.

So lets make this happen guys ! :spaceace:
Etinne, how much is the Hang-On Sticker-file and how is it to print?
-
Check the webstore please, i have changed the order process in the last run ;)
www.easywebshop.com/arcadedecals
-
Hi,
If I want a Zaccaria one, should I just place an order through the website then? Thanks.
-
Hi,
If I want a Zaccaria one, should I just place an order through the website then? Thanks.
yes, and put the data you want to have printed on them in the comments during checkout please.
also read the main page of the webstore, it has lots of information on it ;) :D
-
I have now two sheets completely full, on the vinyl there is space enough.
I would like to close this session for now, or there must be people interested to start filling a third sheet.
so lets see what comes in the comming month and set the closing date on 1 november.
depending on orders to receive this month, i'll proceed to the printing stage with 2 or 3 sheets.
Thanks to everyone who participated untill now.
-
Mmmmm....do you still have a little spot ?
-
Yes, received more requests so i need to start a third sheet.
Straight pic an measurements please ;)
-
Mmmmm....do you still have a little spot ?
That's an Atari 2600! :)
According to this site, it's a 4 switcher: https://atariage.com/2600/archives/consoles.html
-
Yep....couldnt resist.... ;D
-
....I could hand you the original too Etienne :)
-
if you can paste it to a piece of paper, i can pick it up when i drop the "trimtool" ;)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/minipong/141.jpg)
-
No problem x2 :)
-
Little update, so you guys know the status ;)
Yes Andre, i remember your 2600 sticker, i have the tool in the car and can pass next week and drop that, and pickup that decal
i now have all orders in my file, and i need to do some re-arrangement.
I expect this to be done and taken to the printers this month, so if anybody wants in on this run, let me know before lets say 25 November.
Then i can wrap up the files and send them over to the printers, and take it from there.
Thanks for now to everybody.
-
Great news
:wink:
-
The run has been printed, i just picked it up at the printers.
However, there was a small issue, one of the corners of the alu bended during printing. (probably the heat of the UV curing lamp)
No biggie though, they offered me a reprint of that, for which i will deliver the material next Friday.
Ofcourse everybody's order will be delivered in perfect condition as you guys may expect/are used to from me.
Crappy cellphone pic, don't be fooled by the picture, it looks very very sharp IRL.
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/Pics/Alusticker/alu1.jpg)
The damage on the corners:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/Pics/Alusticker/alu2.jpg)
It was inevitable because i changed the "free border" of 3 cm to 2 cm and normally they paste the sheet down with painters tape to the belt.
The 2 cm border makes the "taping operation" more difficult as there is less space to tape, so we relied on the vacuum table, but the material is aluminium and is much more temperature sensitive than paper / cardboard / vinyl, so one of the corners bended and pressed against the print head :-\
It was a gamble, and i learned again something for the future... ::)
Anyway, a reprint will be done for the damaged decals.
Delivering quality is all that matters IYAM.
For those of you who are interested in the printing process, here an old video i shot when i was at the printers for my first run:
(http://img.youtube.com/vi/RHIC64nHtPY/0.jpg) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHIC64nHtPY)
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/player.jpg) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHIC64nHtPY)
Now its time for the worst part... cutting every decal.... 8)

it's amazing !
:P
Just want to say thank's you again for all your work .
you Rock's
;)

looks great! :spaceace:

Hardcore!!! :spaceace:

:spaceace:

During the finishing up of the last run, i am also preparing the next, i have a question, is there anybody that can tell me the missing text on this decal ?
Its on the back of a frogger according to the person who asked me to repro this.
Any help is appriciated !
Thanks
I have unscrambled this so far:
Notice
Outside interference such as s....c (1.static ?)
..urge (2.surge ?) or line voltage variation ca...s (3.causes ?)
... (4.the ?) monitor screen to scramble, ..- (5.re- ?)

-
I'm with you on 1, 2, 3, 4, 10
8: entire? But why should rejecting a coin recycle the game??
9: many?
-
I have no clue ;D :D

I agree although, 5. In- 6. Serting
Maybe :) ???
-
I read the 100 frogger manual pages but no more clue
:oops:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/manuals-videogames/F/Frogger.pdf
7 do not exist
-
Good guess Nic, it also makes more sence then ..
Lets see where we stand:
Notice

surge or line voltage variation causes
the monitor screen to scramble, in-
serting a coin instantly recycles en-
tire system. this feature saves many

Sounds legit to me 8) ::)
Many thanks guys !
-
9: many
;)
Diese Funktions erspart viele ansonsten notwendige Service-Anrufe.
Sounds good in German ;D
-
9. SAVES MA...
it looks like an old french tv show
les chiffres et les lettres
:D
-
"Deze funktie bespaart veel onnodige storings meldingen"
Also in dutch it sound like its the correct text ;D
Again, many thanks to all helping me in this ! :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
9: many
;)
Diese Funktions erspart viele ansonsten notwendige Service-Anrufe.
Sounds good in German ;D
It's one of those weird English sentences that doesn't make sense the first few times you read it.
Edit: I just realised I've finally made over 100 posts
-
Still, after entering the text (positioning not 100% done) it does not look good at the start outline of the lines..:
Any clues ?
-
Little progress, Alu is cut too now and packing has started as you can see:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/Pics/Alusticker/Packing.jpg)
When i am done with that, i will get the postage, and then i know the totals for each person, and will contact you for payment, and send the stuff out.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Thank you all for the feedback.

Cool ! i am in the viewer mail segment, i didnt had time yet to see the full episode, so that was cool :D
Thanks for the feedback and shoutout John !
ps, i dont know if you catched the easer egg, but the killscreens cassette decal was intentionally brown LOL ;D ;D
-
biggup Etienne :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
Got the stuff, awesome quality, as usual! I will display pictures when it will be applied.
Thanks very very very much, Etienne! :-* :-* :-*
:spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
I know that Control panels where originally screened on metal plates, but i think it makes a nice replacement.
I am curious how it looks when applied.
Ully's Rally came out great, so i guess this will be cool too !
I am happy you like the decals, the orange really pops in this one, i was also like :shock: the first time i saw it when i picked it up at the printers.
I could not stop looking, Sooooo pretty :D 8)
It was better than my expectation, since its not white as a background but silverish, and as you know the color is based on a "white" background.
-
Etienne, check this video: (mins 31:51 - 36:35)

By the way.....John flips the finger to E.T.-enne in thanks.......geezzz..... ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
HA!
Thats exactly what my wife said when i showed her this segment ! LOL ;D
-
I would have watched that 100 times and not noticed, some eagle eyes here.
-
I also noticed that he pronounces my name in the real US way " E.T.-enne" LOL
I have once tried to explane that the correct pronunciation is a combi of the number 80 and the japanese currency YEN
"Eightyyen" ;D
-
That's about the same as trying the English speaking guys to get the pronunciation of Taito correctly...
It's not Teeeyytoooouhh or Taaaiiiitooooo....it's, Taa-ee-to, three syllables....it's a Japanese name ! :)
-
Hi,
I've just placed an order. I sent a question afterwards, but you can disregard it. I saved a link direct to the Zaccaria decals some time ago and didn't see the message on the homepage until afterwards.
Thanks,
Rory :D

As i was creating a new decal for a guy, i have captured my screen during the creation.

So have you fallen off the map, Macgyver? ???
-
No, just on a small vacation ;)
but i am back home now :pac:
-
Sweet. Hope you had a good time. I hear you are doing another run of Alu Stickers? I saw your website doesn't have Universal Co stickers. What do you need to reproduce them? a proper scan, or will a good quality pic suffice?
I am new to this site, but frequent the KLOV site.
-
i preffer highres scans with dimentions in millimeters.
but straight highres pics and inches can also be used ;)
i know that 1 inch is 2,54 mm. 8)
i have some space left in the second sheet, and can squeeze in some decals if you want.
i do need to create the file though, so it will delay the rest of the print, but as i do this on the side, its done when its done ;)
i print when i am ready, thats the nice thing about the way i work, luckily its not my main job :D
-
Oh, I'm Canadian, eh? Comfy in Imperial or SI. I can give ya the photos with reference in either, but ya want millimetres, it be done.
a couple days, tops.
-
Yep, metric is the preffered way for me as a European dude ;)
-
OK, I am on it tomorrow. how much space do you have left on the sheet?
-
enough, and if its not enough, i have more sheets here ;)
-
I have a new one for your collection

OK, I got a bunch of closeup shots with cm/mm reference.
Where do I email them, MacGyver?

PM sent ;)

Prints picked up today..
do you spot your decals ? :D

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/2.jpg)
sheet 3

If you dont spot them, thats because there is also a Sheet 4 and a roll of vinyl ;)
-
Look there's mine on the bottom
;D ;D
-
These look great
I spy some:-) :spaceace:
-
cut cut cut, sort sort sort :P

I just checked out the new stickers that I received at Eurocade, and as usual they are top notch. :) But the DK Cocktail CPO is simply amazing. Wonderful work, Etiènne, thanks. :spaceace:
-
So uhmmmmm....do you do real metal plates too Etienne ? :D
-
i can print that on alu which you can apply to that piece.
i need to scan it and vertorize it though..
(not a problem, it just takes time)
-
Sounds like a workable solution ;) and there's no rush for sure ;)
-
And another run will go to the printers tomorow.
Sheet is full, time to do it one more time this year ;D

I saw it, but i can only deliver the coindoor decal in this run as the file is full and the material is delivered at the printers this morning.
Thanks Ully ;)
-

Yes me too! the one above is mine, Etienne is indeed a star, he has sorted out all my artwork for my current projects, so glad I found his services. And his youtube videos show how much hours go into his work, brilliant.

Just picked up the printed goods this morning, and as i was out of material, i just ordered 20 sheets of new material.
now i am ready again for future runs 8)
Will try to cut and pack all asap and contact all involved in this run soon.
i expect to deliver in Januari due to the holidays though..
For now, happy holidays !
-
And another run goes to the printers tomorow
-
Good job. ;)
-
Great, as usual😊
And I Love your Shop;)
What about a Konami-edge-connector-vinyl-decal? It would fit in my zaccs.
-
Thanks guys,
Digi, that is a matter of adjusting the Jamma decal that is in the store, so it could be possible.
Just need to find the exact pinout, but thats do-able

great news
thak's a lot ;)

I did a small run of the Taito Upright Coin Door stickers last year.
Etienne graciously helped me out with the artwork making the whole process quicker (thank you btw) :).
They were printed onto 1mm aluminium with 3M adhesive on the back, each piece was die cut.
They have all been sold.

Thats not the correct font, my file has a different font :
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/pics/alusticker/taitocoindoor.jpg)
Strange, my file has the text outlined in vectors, so you are not depending on having the correct font installed..
Anyway, always nice to see stuff like this 8) :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
Yes, I noticed this when I got the finished product back.
I'm not sure why/how they ended up with that font, lazy printer?
It was the first time doing a reproduction run, there are so many little things that need to be confirmed with the printers before giving the go ahead.
It will definitely have the correct font if i do another run.
-
Does anyone still have this or know where to find it, would love to get the vectorized astro wars art.
