Anyone here from London?

[thatitalian]

Was wondering if there was anyone here from London who would be interested in giving some Arcade advice to another Londoner!?

Wasn't Harpal from London?

Im not sure of any Londoners on here although im sure there will be. There are plenty of Brits at the least though (me included  )

What can we help you with?

I'm going to assume that you are talking about that fair city in the UK, as opposed to the centre of the arcade universe in Canada ... and, as a result, can't help.

Hahahaha, yeah London UK I meant!

I was just wondering if anyone knew a place where I could get good perspex or even help me with cutting some becuase I have gone through 3 sheets now for my CP!

Also wanted to know if anyone could suggest a wood cutting place to get some mdf cut to a certian angle so that the bits sit flush together.

A lot of DIY stores sell Perspex, eg Focus.  My advice on cutting is to use a knife/rule, although I don't know about cutting holes for buttons -  have seen threads on this here tho.

I'm in the UK, last time I got some perspex cut for my CP I went to my local sign makers.  I took the CP with me, explained what I wanted, and they cut me a perfect bit of perspex/thin sign plastic (whatever it is they use) and even cut the joystick and button holes.

It cost less than £20, and was well worth it for a good finish.  Check your yellow pages for sign makers

To get a good perspex cut at home you need to sandwich it between some wood etc, it helps take away the stress etc from it.
