Places to order T-molding?

[P-chan]

The obvious place, T-molding.com is out of stock of Purple 3/4 T-molding.  I'm also ok with chrome, but apparently I can only order in 20ft increments on their site?  I need 23.5 feet, which means I'll be ordering at most 25ft.

arcadeshop.com has a 25ft roll of chrome for $20+shipping, but I've never ordered from them before.  Legit?  I don't like that they don't tell you your total before you order, they say the shipping amount will be calculated and added to your total as they process and pack your order.

All the rolls on ebay are 20ft.


GGG doesn't have purple OR chrome, they have a chrome with a stripe, which is right out.

Anywhere else I should look?  I'd rather have purple than chrome if possible...

I've bought at least 3 or 4 orders over the years from arcadeshop.com... as recently as about a month ago .I haven't had a problem with their shipping. They don't seem to ship fast though.

If you have a Micro Center near you, they started carrying DIY arcade parts some time ago. Their t-molding is sourced from t-molding.com, so the quality is the same.  Check with your local store directly though, there are some parts (such as the purple-t you're looking for) that they don't ship via the website.

thanks! This is actually what I ended up doing. Micro Center had purple!

Good info to know.

Oh, that's great! Glad to help out! 

It feels like they've been carrying arcade parts for at least a couple of years now. My location here in NJ had half an aisle devoted to it at one time (of course, I haven't been there in almost a year now...)

The thing I remember most about the first time I noticed it was a bittersweet feeling of "hey, wow, the hobby has kinda made it to the mainstream!"  Then I looked a little closer at their bartop kits, and was less than impressed with the quality... still, another buying option (and a retail brick-and-mortar one no less!) I guess is a good thing overall. Great for situations like this one!
