Cynicaster Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Just discovered this thread. This is awesome; I was actually thinking of building an Atari 2600 cabinet myself, but having already built a MAME cabinet from scratch I just can't talk myself into the time commitment to do another one. OP, I hope you post a YouTube vid when this is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrondino Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 I do intend on creating a video of it. Currently working through the control panel issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrondino Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I don't know how big you want your label, but in best electronics revision 10 catalog, on page 155, they are selling prototype metal labels from the Atari 2700 run that never happened. They are only a buck for two, and they have self adhesive backing on them. Best does have a minimum order, but it's hard to look in that thing and NOT spend 20 bucks. I would like a dozen of everything.... Anyhow, since you're doing a one off cabinet, why not use a one off label? I'm unsure how I missed your post, OneMoreTime. Apologies for the late response. I tried to find this catalog online without success. Would you know of a link? -Dino Edited August 7, 2014 by abrondino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onemoretime Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Here's a link to the website, though you're not going to find a lot of the stuff that's on the regular paper catalog on here. http://best-electronics-ca.com/text.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destinaxe Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Really enjoyed looking at this cabinet build, I'm hoping to build a new cabinet soon. You mentioned using wood putty, how has your experience been with that? I need to completely refinish my cabinet and it needs some putty in a few places! Great stuff!

onemoretime Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It's hard to go wrong with flat black formica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrondino Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) In order to pay homage to the woodgrain as well as do the stained glass marquess some justice, I believe I'm going to redo the cabinet in this style: Edited January 16, 2016 by abrondino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
