Doubt it, every roughness will be seen through the vinyl, it will not look good. I think I'm going to go with the Johns Arcade way. 1st apply laminate on the sides to get a flat surface: https://youtu.be/h3jF-61RuoI
Then apply the wood grain vinyl on the laminate.

I also rebuilt the trackball with the kit from AS: http://www.arcadeshop.com/i/16/2-trackball-rebuild-kit-atari-happ.htm
With two new optic PCBs: http://www.arcadeshop.com/i/828/atari-happ-trackball-optic-pcb.htm

Also shoutout to muddymusic for providing a new CPO  :D

Truth is, I haven't applied it yet! But I will let you know. ;)

I'd like that! Let's talk over summer! :)

Better late than never but I did order the woodgrain side art and applied it some weeks ago. All I can say is that the side art is worthless :)
It won't stick on anything (certainly not wood grain) and the quality is really bad, easy to tear.

While I, ofc, am glad that justice is served I'm also saddened. I liked Billy, he was a good "profile" for our hobby & has a long history.

Totally agree with you Hi, TOG is extremely unprofessional and horrible to deal with. Seldom answers mails, promises to have the order/shipping ready all the time but doesn't follow through etc. etc.

The end result is always great, no mistake about it. But if you buy from them, you have to expect that it will take several months and that you don't get any answers when trying to contact them (and if you get answer, don't expect them to follow through). That's kinda the deal you have to make when ordering something from them, whether you're aware of it or not. Imho.

But it's great to see that you're so determined  :D This hobby is ridiculously expensive for us in Europe compared to in the states so you must be stubborn and not afraid of expenses :)

Pinge and me did some work in the storehouse this weekend.


Some stuff that's going away to a happy buyer


Pinge did some cleanup & reorganizing since the storehouse looked like a mess. In the meantime I did some work with the monitors to my Pacman & Donkey Kong Jr (from Barry)

I had cleaned the monitors with a garden hose & recapped the chassis. Success, both worked fine!


Some nice burns in Pacman


Everything recapped & cleaned in Donkey Kong Jr. It looks great! Only need to make a black monitor bezel & this baby is finished

Suddenly I heard a "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!" followed by a big bang. This is what I saw:


When moving the Exidy Circus cab, the back board (that Pinge was holding) came loose and the whole cab fell forward with a bang. Pinge was not happy.


Luckily the result of this faux pas was "only" some wood damage. The monitor was ok & the front glass (with the special "bulged" letters) survived without a scratch.

After countless hours of wood work, my Defender was finally ready for some paint. "Ready" as in I decided that enough was enough.

You can bondo, grind, bondo, grind, bondo, grind for forever, there will always be some ruggedness, specially when you work with veneer.

So, living in an apartment, the kitchen has to do as paint room  ;D
