The problems with the "Nintendo" "flat" T-molding being available so far is that it was not flat at all, the wrong material not shiny like the original and so overall not very much like the real stuff.

[EDIT: Please note this from Audiomidiman's webpage: 4) Satin finish (not semi-gloss because they cannot do semi-gloss in flexible PVC)]

Audiomidiman from KLOV forum is going to take on pre-orders for people who are interested in a TRUE repro of this T-molding.
So all you Nintendo cab owners, chime in to get this project done !!!

OK, nobody ?

The pre-order page is now open !!!!

If we do a "group" buy we might be able to save on shipping, I already discussed this with Bill (Audiomidiman).

Here's a good comparison between the current available "Nintendo" white T-molding and the _real_ original Nintendo T-molding:

That's a great thing, but I'm a little bit too lazy for removing the current *new but not accurate* one for the moment :oops:

OK so the order is at 40 feet right now, anyone else ?

I won't wait too long because the pre-order period is pretty short. I do think this stuff will be available after the pre-orders have been done, but I'm not sure....didn't read every post in the threads there....

Also note: the pre-order page says it _may_ be your only chance to get it.

Also, for pre-orderers the 30 dollars per 20 feet includes shipping within the US. I assume that we will have to pay any extra for shipping abroad, but it could save a couple of Euro's (esp. when we do the group order).

I'm actually thinking about getting another 20 foot. You never know what you might bump into......oops NO MORE CABS ;)

Oh, by the way, I have a set of T-molding of that other repro Nintendo T-molding here for sale :D Never installed completely new.
