No worries John,

4-10 day post to USA and UK is $9USD.

Ok,

Who-ever is SERIOUS please PM me with details and a contact email.
Please state sizes and Invaders or Pacman so I can get some numbers.

Well I guess I'm not going to sleep well at night till I get some. I am serious about getting some. To be honest I wouldn't mind having a mixed set with space invaders and pac man. I am going to have to wait a few weeks because my wife is on maternity leave and we have to live on half income for a few more weeks. But I am serious so mark me down.

Have you looked into black ones at all?

rackoon · « **Reply #43 on:** October 20, 2006, 03:34:06 pm »

I got an idea for stand ups.

How about marquee retainer clips with the byoac logo on them?

spacies · « **Reply #44 on:** October 20, 2006, 05:01:15 pm »

Thats cool.

I still need to know sizes so let me know when you can.
Not sure what you mean by retainer clips?

I was thinking of joystick dust covers. I could laser in the BYOAC logo onto those?

To all others who have expressed interest I need sizes from you guys too.

McCoy178: You still want some ?

Anyone else?

rackoon · « **Reply #46 on:** October 22, 2006, 02:02:20 pm »

I live in US so I need 1 1/4 total opening. (1' top and 1/4 glass)

I wood like them mixed. The artwork on my cab has all different old school games so I think a mixed set would be most appropriate. Thanks.

Stingray · « **Reply #49 on:** October 27, 2006, 12:45:44 pm »

I was on vacation last week and kind of forgot about this thread. I still want a set, but I don't have the measurement. I'll try to remember to do that this weekend.

-S

spacies · « **Reply #50 on:** October 27, 2006, 04:08:30 pm »

No worries Stingray.

I will put a star by it and when you have the sizes let me know.
I will probably go into the workshop next week and make the current orders if I get time.

mvolke1 · « **Reply #51 on:** October 27, 2006, 06:12:30 pm »

I made the measurement of my tabletop, and it's one-inch. I'm assuming if I get 1/4 inch glass the clips will work?

I sent you a message requesting a set, Spacies. This is a really cool finishing detail to my cocktail. I'm going for a furniture-style cocktail, but this will finish it nicely.

Can't wait to get them.

Lasers are not affected by the material being cut and SS is no more harsh on a break than any other material.

This argument is already dead, but I'll chuck in some quick FACT:

Laser Cutting is expensive primarily because of the power needed to drive the high-wattage laser (and the setup labour time, but that goes away when you do it yourself or buy bulk). The wattage of the laser required depends entirely on the material you are cutting. The statement you make above is incorrect. Stainless Steel is extremely reflective, and when hit with a standard cutting laser, roughly 20% of the cutting heat is lost in reflection.

Compared to mild steel, stainless requires around 20% EXTRA power from the laser. Where I live here in Brisbane Australia, there are probably 100 laser cutters in the phone book. Of those, only 5 will cut stainless, because the rest don't have machinery powerful enough. I know, because I rang nearly all of them for a job I needed done.

This isn't internet conjecture. Ring up a laser cutter and ASK THEM on the phone what the go is, and they'll say the same.

Nobody *likes* working with stainless. The material itself is dead sexy, and the end results are stunning (I have all-stainless control panels on my cocktail cab and they are STUNNING). At first I was stupid enough to try and cut the stuff myself. $100 in broken tools later, I bit the bullet and paid another $200 to get the suckers laser cut. Total ---smurfette--- of a job that ended up costing me more for the CPs than the rest of the cabinet, but it looks amazing.

Anyways... back on topic: Spacies, do you have any of these clips left? I might be interested in a set of 8 for said cocktail. And yes, I use the sensible metric system, and need 24mm gap (18mm MDF and 6mm glass). Do you have a few lying around, or make on demand?

spacies · « **Reply #53 on:** November 03, 2006, 10:55:06 pm »

Nice one Elvis.

This arguement is already dead and sometimes its easier to give up rather than argue.

I have been working with metals since I was 16. Thats nearly 20years so I know a thing or 2.

Stainless is an awesome material and if someone tells you it is no harder on tools than other metals then they are wrong. Like you found out trying to cut a peice of stainless sheet. Sure, you can do it with an angle grinder and cut off wheels, but it will chew those discs to bits and also leave the burn marks from getting too hot if you are not careful.

As for the laser thing. Again, correct. It is THE best and easiest way to cut stainless.

I do have some 24mm clips here, already to go. I am going into the workshop this coming week to fab some more for the orders I have 'cos the USA guys are in the dark ages and use imperial measurements.

PM me if you want some.

mvolke1 · « **Reply #54 on:** November 04, 2006, 12:22:12 pm »

Spacies,

Let me know when my 1 1/4 inch clips are done so I can pay you right away. My cocktail is on the verge of completion, and I'd like to get those clips! Can't wait!

They will be the last piece I need to get. I should be done with the whole cab by Friday, and I have everything but the clips. I've been holding back a bit on completion so the glass isn't just sitting there without anything to hold it in place.

squirrellydw · « **Reply #55 on:** November 11, 2006, 03:15:38 pm »

So did you get a chance to make some??

mvolke1 · « **Reply #56 on:** November 11, 2006, 03:17:24 pm »

I was wondering, myself. My cocktail will be done this weekend, and I'd like to get a set. I don't have a backup yet.

mvolke1 · « **Reply #57 on:** November 14, 2006, 03:32:44 pm »

I think I'm officially giving up. The post started Oct. 20, about a month now. I think I'm going to go with Arcade Shop, they are like $3 each there.

Does any know where they're cheaper?

spacies · « **Reply #58 on:** November 14, 2006, 06:10:10 pm »

Hey,

Sorry but I have been away. A friend purchased an upmarket apartment and the developer went belly up. So a group of us friends came together and finished the apartment so he somewhere to live and at least have something to show for his mega $$$$.

Such an awesome place now.

Anyway, the clips.

The Space Invaders ones are done.

But I need some input on the Pacman clips. Do I just use the art like Pacman is in the game, a circle with a piece missing, or do I use art like in Pacland?

And the Ghosts. Normal or after you eat a power pill?

Make your descions and give me some artowrk if you have any.

I could have these ready by the end of the week.

mvolke1 : Real world things are more important than your clips. The guy had almost a million dollars tied up in that apartment so chill out. Buy your clips from somewhere else if you want.

Anyone got some art or input?

mvolke1 · « **Reply #59 on:** November 14, 2006, 06:36:26 pm »

It's been a month. Figured you got busy, that's why I'm looking elsewhere. I was holding out for you.

That said, I'd still like some. I would like the traditional pac-man and traditional ghost.

squirrellydw · « **Reply #60 on:** November 14, 2006, 07:10:44 pm »

Anyone else??

FunWithFire · « **Reply #61 on:** November 14, 2006, 07:16:11 pm »

What about the Pacman and ghost from the original marquee?

squirrellydw · « **Reply #62 on:** November 14, 2006, 07:19:06 pm »

yeah, yeah......I like that a lot, that has my vote

spacies · « **Reply #63 on:** November 14, 2006, 07:27:31 pm »

Cool,

I prefer the marquee to.

mvolke1 · « **Reply #64 on:** November 14, 2006, 10:15:39 pm »

I'm down with the marquee, as well. If everyone wants that, I'm sure it's easier for you, Spacies, to do all of one kind.

So it would be the marquee pac-man on the clip alone, and the ghost alone on the other clip, right?

spacies · « **Reply #65 on:** November 14, 2006, 10:25:37 pm »

Correct.

mvolke1 · « **Reply #66 on:** November 14, 2006, 10:49:51 pm »

Maybe these will help....

Let me know when you have them ready so I can pay for them

Thanks

squirrellydw · « **Reply #69 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:15:18 pm »

Yes, I would like the 1 and 1/4"
4 pacman and 4 ghost clips.

squirrellydw · « **Reply #70 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:15:53 pm »

Do you have any pics of the pacman and ghost??

spacies · « **Reply #71 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:40:08 pm »

My partner is away with our camera at the mo'

Will try get a camera to take some pics before she comes back on Monday.

I will post up some pics and if you like them I will forward payment instructions.

Thanks.

squirrellydw · « **Reply #72 on:** November 21, 2006, 09:44:17 pm »

Do they look like the original marquee? If so send me a PayPal invoice and I will pay for them or tell me how you would like me to pay for them.

spacies · « **Reply #73 on:** November 22, 2006, 12:58:11 am »

They look like the marquee.

They are pretty cool.

My website host is doing some upgrading this week so I am not receiving emails from web address and thats the address I have the Paymate account with. Should be back up and running on Friday.

Have a look here www.paymate.co.nz anyway because this is the only way I can accept payments from overseas. Paypal currently don't pay into NZ bank accounts. This is an NZ copy of Paypal. I will inform you of my email to use soon.

squirrellydw · « **Reply #74 on:** November 22, 2006, 09:17:01 am »

sounds good, thanks

mvolke1 · « **Reply #75 on:** November 24, 2006, 01:19:49 pm »

I, too, would like a 1 1/4 set of Pac-Man and Ghost. So that would be four ghost and four pac-man clips.

My e-mail is mvolke1@hotmail.com. Please let me know when I can make a payment. Can't wait to see them!

squirrellydw · « **Reply #76 on:** November 25, 2006, 08:30:31 pm »
