IMBerzerk Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 What material did you make those out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KylJoy Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm not sure how you are attaching the discs but I have had great success attaching things like this with rubber cement. I'm not sure how the cement would react with the materials being used. I've found that the best method for using rubber cement is to apply a thin layer on the facing parts of both things to be attached and let the cement dry. Once the cement is dry on both parts, carefully align and place the items together. Excess cement can be rubbed away with a clean cloth after the items are attached and completely dry. I use this method a lot to make my own labels for things by printing on glossy paper and using rubber cement to attach the labels. To keep the labels nice and clean while attaching, Once I get the label initially in place, I lay a clean piece of paper over the top to protect it while I then rub my hand or a cloth over the label (with the paper over it to protect it) to press it down. Things attached like this can be removed later. Sorry about the long post. For some reason I love this crafty stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterZero Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) I successfully restored a peeling disc controller by removing the old clear plastic layer and the adhesive with a bit of WD40 and some isopropyl alcohol, and applying new clear book cover plastic. Not perfect, but a lot better than it was. Edited February 26, 2018 by HunterZero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMBerzerk Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Any chance to try popping them out of brass... like a thin sheet from Home Depot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TandyVision Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 It's actually copper coated aluminum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Was thinking brass because you can wire wheel it to get that look. I don't know if it will work with coated aluminium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBerzerk Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Also, this is the effect that can be done on it to finish it off. It's called engine-turning. Just need a bit, or a mild abrasive stone bit on a drill to do it. https://www.cnccookbook.com/guilloche-rose-engines-jeweling-engine-turning-artistic-machining/ Edited March 1, 2018 by IMBerzerk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I could see putting a couple of these on my Intellivision Flashback. They made the controllers 99% accurate to the real deal - but then they put on those bland, flat gold decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have at least two or maybe three sets of controller discs finished like the ones in the picture you attached. That would be SWEET!!!!

TandyVision Posted March 3, 2018 Author Share Posted March 3, 2018 You can actually buy stickers and just cut them out if you wanted to have the engine turn pattern or any pattern for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Intellivision restore is done except for this. The previous owner used paper-backed silver stickers which are (of course) peeling off and look odd due to the color.

I appreciate the enthusiasm. Should be fairly easy compared to the Atari Jaguar Pro controller project I recently completed. I actually am working on the Intellivision plastic cartridge trays as well and should have them made pretty soon as well. The plastic trays that go inside the cardboard boxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I just want to say that I got my inlays from: Intellivision Metal Controller Disc – Hoskinson Industries (myshopify.com). I attached one yesterday and it worked great. I've only played games with that controller for a short time, but the disc is firmly attached and looks like new! The disc I removed was peeling away from the controller. I was able to pick it off with my fingers. I worked on the goo left behind with some goo-gone, but I was surprised to find another layer of gold paint (err something) down there. It started to come off with the goo-gone, so I just cleaned the surface and stuck @Starwander's disc on top of that mess. Looks and feels great now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
