Repro arcade stickers

[Etienne MacGyver]

Here are the samples that i received:



They included 3 different materials of which 2 where just plain vinyl, so thats not suitable, but the alu looks the material we need for this :



I tried to "punch" it with the point of a key, and i think thats the material we are looking for...

Okay guy's..
but maybe someone else has these measurements for me ?
I dont have an Atari Cab at hand..

Thanks !

Andre cannot find his, so can anybody who has this measure it for me please, then i can prepare the "Alusticker run" and i can come with a price per sticker comming from that run for those of you that are interested in a repro of a alu serial sticker..

I dont have any intentions of making profit from this, but the more stickers, the cheaper it will be ofcourse..

Other models of the stickers are possible, as i will repro them for you in vector, so if you have need for a replecement alu sticker i can take it in this run, i have a sheet of 100 x 70 cm that will be printed, and needs to be filled.

Wahoo, I just saw an old picture of my Centipede and it has the same sticker !

Measured it (the real thing, not the picture of course ) but I only did measure A and C (yet).

A=7,0 cm.
C=7,7 cm.

I'll get B & D for you after dinner Etienne...

Here's a pic of the original Marktplaats ad. I remember that back then I was about the only one hunting Marktplaats for those cabs !



Don't be fooled by the picture, it _IS_ the same shape as the SW one, this looks more square because of the angle....

The great thing is that the indicated Pat.Numbers are simply the same, so are the voltage and amps rating (which is kinda weird, no way Centi is eating up as much power as the SW.....I figure they just settled for a rather high rating and be done with it....)

Anyway, the good thing about it is that it opens it up to (about?) all Irish built Atari machines which makes it more feasible to produce.

Etienne, not sure how high "demand" for this will be, is there any way to do it good on an inkjet or laser printer at home/office ?

Also, are these labels also available with the rounded corners ?

[Etienne MacGyver]

I think im going to let my printer do the run anyway, and let him slith them too, so they come out cutted with rounded corners 

I need some zacc plates too , and so does bela, so already i got some "customers"

now i know the size, i can calculate how much i can squeez in the sheet that i have, and i can determine the final price per piece.

The rest i can always put up on Ebay & Marktplaats, and see what happens..
Its easy shippable in a envelope sandwiched between 2 pieces of cardboard.

extremely cool work - again!

i'm sure i'll take some of those as well

[Etienne MacGyver]

Cool, the more people the marier 

when i calculated everything i will make a dedicated "groupbuy" topic

Like i said before, if you got a particular "alusticker" that you would like to see reproduced, now is the change, i can make it and integrate it in the run
just send me the details and i'll vector it and put it on the sheet

Later more in the dedicated topic about this

[level42]

Do we need to drum up the UK and maybe even the US guys as well ? (There are Irish built cabs over there) ?

[Etienne MacGyver]

Feel free to post on KLOV, BYOAC, etc etc, and lets see how many interest is there.

Any update on the other measurements ?

[level42]

Sorry really busy....up next....

I checked a site about IBM typewriters (selectric). Those had interchangeable letter "balls".

I found this site:
http://www.selectric.org/selectric/index.html

and through it I found this font called Bookface72 which looks VERY much like the stamped letters on the serial stickers:



I can't imagine that they let someone actually type up all those stickers, but at least we could have a path here....?


Also: if we could also do the version that is on CKONG's Gravitar....I think the one's on my Video Pinball are the same, I'll check them too....

Heading off into the gameroom for measures and more !

[Etienne MacGyver]

numbers are typed in after applying the sticker i think
if you put them in a typewriter, i am affraid that it will wrinkle ..

[level42]

OK.....but if we could find one of those balls...... the typewriter would make it too straight anyway

Here are ze resultz of ze Dutch zjury:

Size B: 6,55 cm. (Yes)

Size D: 6,80 cm.

Can't reach the back of the VP just now...will try tomorrow.

when do you need to have this? i'm going to check my cabs at the weekend, is that good enough?

[level42]

After discussing it with Etienne I put up some threads on other forums to see if there is more interest in these. The reason is simple: the more we get, the cheaper they get (and we don't mind helping other guys in the hobby )

So (mainly for my own reference) here's the list:
