777ismyname Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 I received a 130XE as an early birthday present from my daughter. I’ve cleaned it thoroughly and have a new keyboard Mylar coming from The Brewing Academy. There are nearly no signs of yellowing and it looks almost new...except for the ATARI 130XE badge label, which has peeled a good bit. Does anyone print replacements for sale? It needn’t be an exact duplicate of the original, so long as the label dimensions are close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarland Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Congrats!!! She's great. You might try this trick as shown at 15m 22s in this video: "Find the graphics on another vehicle online. Copy it and use photoshop to clean it up and resize it. Get some clear mailing label paper to print them out on. Works great!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
777ismyname Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 That sounds like it might just work. Thank you ? I should forward this to her to make right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is REALLY nice. Very interesting indeed. Am I right that there is no color on those badges? Still amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred_M Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 There is no color indeed. The badge is made of thick aluminium, so it is a bit thicker than the normal "sticker". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I reckon that could be it I do not recall now, but in your video with the 130XE and Zaxon floppy drive, did you do the install of the floppy? I’d dig having a 3-1/2” floppy internally mounted in one of my Ataris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, the store lists an address from The Netherlands, but the seller is from Poland. My badge was sent from Poland.

777ismyname Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 I sent him an email a few minutes ago, asking about custom labels. I’d reckon they do, given the variety. My daughter is ordering a 130XE and a Commodore 128 label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d dig having a 3-1/2” floppy internally mounted in one of my Ataris. That was Lastic's machine; it was sent here initially so that I could correct a few problems, although I ended up doing quite a lot of work on it (installing the MIDI board and making some adjustments to Sophia and fitting new power cables for the FDC board). Definitely an interesting build. Normally I am not one for such invasive modifications, but having an internal 3.5" XF551 compatible floppy drive was kind of cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, if I get a response I will post it here. It appears this may be a good source for refurbishing our old machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew@meler.us Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 The layer of paint on the original badge can be stripped to reveal nice aluminum finish. You have to have some patience removing the badge from the 130xe, applying some heat from hairdryer to remove the badge without bending it works well.

Lastic Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yep 1030XEfm is a hybrid between an 130XE with an 1040STfm. As stated by Jon , my machine has a internal 3,5" drive , U1MB memory expansion, SIO2MIDI (where the TV modulator used to be) so the choice of the label was also hybrid. Since space was an issue and the machine already having an Sophia DVI installed, Jon did a miracle job of removing the modulator and putting the SIO2MIDI PCB in that exact spot. So the m now stands for MIDI ( thread here https://atariage.com/forums/topic/291928-crazy-idea-or-not/page/6/#comments ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my machines definitely is going to get one of those internal floppies one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
