CP 1 & 2 Player buttons?
« on: May 26, 2006, 01:34:10 am »
looking for some suggestions.

I built a cabinet for the kids for Christmas and to save some time I bought and installed a 2 player X-Arcade CP.  Had I known more and had more time, I would have designed and built my own CP (next cabinet!!).

Anyway I also bought some buttons from ponyboy (a couple black replacements and translucents for the flipper buttons).  The quality difference is definately noticeable.

So my issue now is that after 5 months, the 1 player credit button is losing the "man print" and I'm afraid it will happen to the 2 player eventually as well.  I like the look of these buttons, any suggestions for replacing them with something more durable??

Someone has/had made up a plastic template that you would stick under a lighted button.  Think of the letters on a movie theater's "Now Showing" sign or the numbers on a gas station's price board.  Can't remember who was doing it.

Ultimarc has nice ones. Mine are over a year old and the prints have hung in there without wearing/fading.
The only thing with orders there is the international shipping, which is steep for small things.
If I need buttons, I usually use that as an excuse to buy an IPAC or other stuff... The shipping is the same price either way.  ;)
