You can always email me the pix and I'll upload them here for you.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Also, Checkpoint is one those games that's strangely present at every show I've attended.  For a game that only had a run of 3,500 there sure as hell are a lot of them in circulation.

Very nice work on the painting and decals Jen.  That little compressor looks like a mini version of my own.  I have a question for you on coin doors but its a bit off topic so I'll PM you.

Malenco... After a quick peek, I gotta be like OMG! you have done something few would dare, That is absolutely astounding work and thank you for the link  :applaud:, and I will have to check out what others have done over there too.

I started colorizing HS2:TG
http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/3984-the-getaway-high-speed-ii-malenko-edition/

I'm really not a narcissist, there were just 2 or 3 other people working on their own versions, so I thought Malenko Edition was funny.

I played a lot of pins with colordmds at zapcon.  They aren’t nearly bright enough and I much prefer the original gas displays.  The graphics were neat and Malenko has done excellent work.  I’m sure people that aren’t familiar with the old displays think the color ones are awesome but eh.  On the other hand... looks like the color dmd leds are $365... and the gas displays are like $200 now.... so I’d probably buy the led if I needed a new display.

There's 2 kinds, ColorDMD and Pin2DMD. ColorDMD is the better choice but with Pin2DMD anyone can color the game. Both have brightness adjustments and none of the games at Zapcon had the brightness above medium.

Only kits I know of are available in Europe. About $185 before shipping. Pretty sure it's still cheaper to piece it all together yourself, but I quit looking into it after I sold Johnny.

On the subject of cutting the T-molding slot... For those new to the task... It helps to set the depth of the router bit, lock it in, then turn the router on for a bit, turn it off and make sure your bit depth did not change. Also, check that depth a few times while cutting, just to make sure the bit isn't drifting. In other words... Tighten the ever-loving piss out of the bit.

Not all T moulding is created equal, That is to say there is no real standard and can be quite confusing, spline depth/width centering on the workpiece all factor in.

can confirm, even from the same manufacturer. Been buying t-moulding for our cocktail cabinets and had to specally purchase a 2mm slot cutter to get the spline bar to hold properly in the moulding from the place we are ordering from.... then after 8 or 10 50 foot rolls over the last 4 some odd years, it changed. now it's 3mm.  :dunno same part numbers, same manufacturer. same everything. been 3mm last 3 rolls now so hopefully it's going to stay.

i've been buying t-moulding first and doublechecking the spline before I cut just to be sure.

After some quick math... You average around 10ft. a month, That is far removed from your average first time hobbyist, And quite impressive. I bet you could write a book on the subject and have quite a bit invested in your work area with heat guns special hammers and such, and that's only a small piece of your monthly parts needs if your building complete cabs. again quite impressive in this day and age, I don't think many do that anymore  It took Me a long time to fully understand the truth in your observations...However Jennifer has a shameful secret...

LUL yes, I work for an amusement company putting games, pool tables, jukeboxes, and the like into bars and lounges all over the place. it's not uncommon to drive 4 or 5 hours to a remote location.

and as a side gig when things are slow (like as of lately) we build cocktail video games that we sell... we average about 20 sales a year for the last 4 years now. (most around christmas time of course.) and will be coming up on our 5th year pretty soon.

so yeah, we go through a buttload of t-moulding. i'll do up a batch of cabinets and use up almost a whole roll.

T moulding comes coiled in a box around a foot square, and when you open it (at least jenn does anyway) has buyers remorse and disappointment at quality (from most venders) It is semi gloss or flat, looks extruded, usually has scuffs on it that you have to cut around to get a decent piece, Might in some cases even have crimped edges from the ties and looks somewhat damaged from just rubbing around in the shipping box led me on a search...Atomic market (A/zon/ Epay) finally in my mind created a flexible, shiny quality product, but the spline is quite short...Soooo, If you guys look at that test piece in that groove closely you will notice the barbs grab, but there is slop beings it is slightly overcut...Now, Back to L/shawns observations, and on a restoration the T is always going to be wrong in some respect because of the non conformity... Since my groove has some play I glue it in with a slow drying epoxy and tape it center for a perfect fit... Cheating I know, but the short spline, needs the extra hold IMO, and when someone someday hates on me during a restoration of that cab, they will have to recut the groove anyway cause the T they buy most likely wouldn't fit the groove anyway. :( 

yeah it's tough to get a good quality product these days. seems to be real hit and miss. sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you get shite and you just have to work with it sometimes. we ended up with a roll a while back... i don't know if it was old or what, but it was so cock stiff, it took plenty of heat gun action just to bend it around a radius. glad when that roll was gone.
