Kidnapping another cab from your country Chris  

Does anybody know if the Italian plexi bezel art is available for download ?

I thought I saw it once but can't find it now....thought vectorlib had it but it's not there.

Alternatively, Vernimark, can you scan yours ?

(here's Vernimark's Italian Asteroids....

looks like the green buttons and chrome T-molding were replaced.....also note the coin counter,it's at 30 !!!!!!!! Played this machine not too long ago )

is this the actual cabinet you are getting ?



Liiks like they have put a decal over the coindoor decal.

if its damaged and you need a replacement...  

[level42]

Yeah I saw that too....hope it comes off without damage but of not....it's great to know this is already available

The bezel at Vectorlib does have the yellow text on the left side, so all that is missing it is tephe Atari logo with Italy and Berolini info....but still need to compare for details...

[vernimark]

Nice find! Here in Jordan no cabinet at all  anyway i ll try to scan the plexy asap

are you sure the silver t molding is original? I ve never seen silver t molding on bertolino s cabs

[level42]

Thats awesome, thanks !!

I'm not sure....BUT....remember the Bertolino Centipede that Laszo now ownes ? That one has chrome as well.....maybe the operators could order it as an option ?

[level42]

Only picture from the Italian Centi I could find, left of the SI you can "just" see the T-molding....

[Q*ris]

If this helps, I have an extra asteroids bezel with yellow text (but of course not the Bertollini logo).

It is gold, like the zacc cabs allthough some think it is the plastic that yellowed, I'm still confinced that it was really a gold finish. This t molding is also on my research list 😑

[level42]

Good I hope you find it because I agree, this stuff has a golden sheen over it !!!

Here's a preview of the "roadtrip". IF the shiny T-molding has been done by the operator, they did a very thorough job, making it go all the way around the cab....but I don't believe that.....this is factory.

By the way, see that short chain under the bottom ? I thought it was maybe an anti-theft feature but it turns out it is a ground point !!!

[Etienne MacGyver]

Pretty sure its transparant T molding with aluminium inside.

Zaccs have this also, and i think its an Italian thing.

The bronze/gold color is the colorfading of the transparant due to whatever reason.

maybe its the same issue as the old plastics and its the fire retardant that causes the discoloring.

Here a pic of the bottom of my zacc, it has the T molding damaged because i dont have the leg levelers in, you can see the exposed aluminium.

also if you look to the right side next to the damage, it looks bronze/gold, but left looks siverisch:

[level42]

Mmmmmmm....interesting...
The molding is also pretty flat right ? And I haven't measured but Im sure the panels and thuss the molding is metric sized.

[Etienne MacGyver]

I have been looking for years for replacement T molding, goodluck finding that...

and yes, its pretty flat

[level42]

Not flat but....
