I can make vinyl with any font (although some fonts won't work at this small size)

The font in these sets is called "Slicker"

Thought I would have some new options by now, but it's taking longer than expected. (As usual) I've just got way too many life things that keep getting in the way (work, 3 kids, Building out my basement, cutting vinyl for you guys...etc)

Totaly understand, hope the basement/gameroom(?) turns out great.

All the new sets are going to be is a more streamlined way (I hope) to get a more customized set. Right now I allow anyone to make a few small changes to the sets, but it really slows me down. What I hope to be able to do is get it down to a system where you can make a single set from some "menu" of sorts. That way you make your own set by choosing 4 parts that fit what you need. Full custom will always be available, but the whole idea is to try and streamline things a bit better. Even when I am really busy, I can usually get out the standard sets fast now, but the ones with extra bits tend to lag behind.

Hope that all made sense.

It did, thanks. A menu would be fantastic!

I think I'm gonna go ahead and order one of each set now anyway. I'll PM you soon.

Thanks for understanding,... I had people over all weekend to help work on the basement,... Walls are up, sheetrock is almost done,... starting to look like something now! Anyways, Now I need to do some vinyl catching up again,... you guys never seem to slow down!

And yea, part of the build is a gameroom,...pool table and pinball are already in place, but I'm re-thinking the arcade cab. I have a full size cab in my garage, but I'm thinking of going with a slimmer (depth) design. I'm planning on using an LCD, so the extra depth is just taking up space.

Pongo · « **Reply #124 on:** October 28, 2009, 12:12:24 am »

I just wanted to make a quick announcement on these,... see the first post of the thread for more info.

Basically, I'm Completely overloaded at this point and need to stop orders for a bit so I can catch up. I am trying to get back to everyone, but it's going to take a while, and some people have already been waiting quite a bit.

What I am thinking right now is that I am going to stop making these in December so that I can focus on new ones that I will make available starting in January. I'm not going away,... just need some time to recharge.

Kman-Sweden · « **Reply #125 on:** October 28, 2009, 04:48:42 am »

I was hoping a post in this thread would be the new sets...

Well hope you get recharged soon and can take new orders.

I've bought a sheet of these before, and the quality is GREAT!

Know3l75 · « **Reply #127 on:** October 31, 2009, 01:09:32 pm »

Thanks on the update, guess I'll order next year.

TheQ · « **Reply #128 on:** November 24, 2009, 12:54:44 am »

I was just about to place an order too.

I'm building a MAME machine for my parents for Christmas. I'm in need of one of the power symbols and an Exit decal from Set 1 or 2. Does anyone have these that they did not use? I'm absolutely willing to pay for them.

Thanks.

Has anyone ever used these labels on LED lit buttons? Specifically the Electric Ice buttons? Anyone have a pic of one applied and lit?

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #130 on:** November 28, 2009, 03:24:19 pm »

I applied some to Ultimarc's Ultralux buttons and sent them to member TelcoLou. I couldn't get a decent picture to turn out, but I thought they looked good and so did he.

Stub · « **Reply #131 on:** November 28, 2009, 04:32:25 pm »

Nicely. Did you use black?

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #132 on:** November 29, 2009, 01:21:38 am »

White, but I'm certain black would look really good.

Out of curiosity, did you apply them under the button cover on the diffuser, or on the outside?

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #134 on:** December 02, 2009, 02:09:41 pm »

diffuser, so I guess it's not the same as Electric Ice. Good point.

Pongo · « **Reply #135 on:** January 20, 2010, 08:52:15 pm »

I've been getting a lot of questions asking if I am back yet. The short answer is yes,... I'm making these again.

The long answer is that the new sets are still not ready to go,... family/work life has been crushing for the last few months and it has not let up. Please be patient with me and I'll do my best. I may not be able to respond for several days depending on how many people are contacting me (first come, first served)

I may need to change my shipping times as well,... something like sending out on Mondays. That will give me more time to collect orders during the week and cut them on the weekend. Sorry that this may take a bit longer for your orders, but I need to get back some of my week day time.

Thanks everyone!

Bought a set of these months ago and just finally got around to installing them! They are fantastic! Especially on my illuminated buttons, they stand out very clear and so no sign of wear after a few weeks! Just wanted to pop in and say that!

Thanks

piecesof8 · « **Reply #138 on:** February 03, 2010, 07:56:11 pm »

Received mine today. Thanks, Pongo! Now I just need some buttons to put em on...

nickynooch · « **Reply #139 on:** February 08, 2010, 12:46:32 pm »

Pongo, I just put my new ones on my buttons. They look great!!!

Thanks!

Pongo, thanks on a great item. Keep up the good work.

Man, I've PMed him 2-3 times over like a year span, and have asked in this thread once or twice. I guess the dude just hates me or something. I never get a response of any sort.

Kman-Sweden · « **Reply #145 on:** February 15, 2010, 01:22:35 pm »

Maybe it's because of your scary avatar?

Pongo · « **Reply #146 on:** February 16, 2010, 10:40:42 pm »

Shardian,... sorry. I've got your request (both times) and dropped the ball (both times) Part of it has to do with your request being different from the standard sets. I've been so overloaded that I've been doing the standard sets first, and getting to the custom ones when things free up. Unfortunately, things have not freed up, and my 3 kids love to make things difficult as well.

I'll do my best to make it up to you,... look for a PM from me.

Just a note to everyone,... I'm very stacked up right now,... both with vinyl requests and home/work items. I used to try to return emails within a day, but right now it is taking me about a week. (Longer for custom requests) I do read the messages right away, but I don't have the time to respond to all so I have started to queue requests. Please feel free to send an extra message to check status, I'll try to at least give you an update.

Thanks again for the support,... sorry I can't keep up at the moment.

ItzMR2u · « **Reply #147 on:** February 27, 2010, 03:34:16 pm »

In case you missed it I PM'd you about some vinyl when you get a chance.

sunnywala · « **Reply #148 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:21:59 pm »

is Pongo still supplying buttons stickers?

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #149 on:** March 25, 2010, 02:56:25 pm »

He hasn't stated otherwise. In his Feb 16th post above, he said that he's backed up, but maybe he's had time to catch up.

Send him a PM and see what happens.

z · « **Reply #150 on:** March 25, 2010, 03:09:07 pm »

I heard from him earlier this week on a sheet he is doing for me, he's pretty backed up. The stickers are definitely worth the wait, just ask up front what current lead times are.

sunnywala · « **Reply #151 on:** March 25, 2010, 03:10:55 pm »

I did in my PM a couple of days ago... Just needed a basic sheet, I'll just wait for his reply
Thanks guys

Pongo · « **Reply #152 on:** March 29, 2010, 04:35:13 pm »

Sorry again guys,... I was still really backed up. At this point I believe I am caught up on all orders, but am several days out on responses to new orders. I've got a bit of news though,...I have a new set that is very close to done now, and expect to have it ready next week (1st week in April) I am expecting that this will completely replace the popular set #3.

Tonight I am going to go through and try to respond to everyone that has put in a request, and I will essentially do a complete "reset" of requests starting with the new sets.

Thanks,... I'll try to post more info soon.

If anyone has placed an order (Paid already) and has not received their order, send me a PM immediately in huge caps.

z · « **Reply #153 on:** March 29, 2010, 09:11:09 pm »

After the follow up last week my sheet arrived today. Your work is great Pongo, love the 4/8 way stickers for my magsticks.

Pongo · « **Reply #154 on:** April 05, 2010, 05:30:34 pm »

Very close now.

I hope to have the new sets active this week and will begin taking orders. For right now, please hold off, since I am going to wipe out my inbox so all the requests will be new ones. I believe I am caught up on everyone that has paid, so if you have paid and not received be sure to contact me.

Here are some images showing the new set, and also how the new set will be broken up, allowing you to swap parts around and hopefully get more of what you need.

In the second image you can see how I have categorized some of the swappable parts.

EDIT:
I believe I am now caught up, and have sent responses to everyone that has sent a request. At this point I am wiping the slate clean, and will start taking new orders with the new set. All I need to do is get the numbers on the pieces for ordering, and that should happen by the end of this week. After that I will accept new orders and start getting these out the door again.

Pongo · « **Reply #155 on:** April 10, 2010, 10:56:10 pm »

Thank you all for waiting,... sorry you had to wait so long.

Set #5 is now ready.

See the first post for more info.

Thanks!

Thanks Pongo, I received set #5 this week and it looks beautiful. I appreciate the prompt response and fast shipping.

Just curious, have you ever done, or seen someone do the "disc" type options for transparent buttons (Like MikeD used to do?)

I know RandyT offers some, but he doens't have quite the same collection as you.

The other thought, has anyone every simply used one of these vinyl on the top of a transparent button? ... although I can't imagine that would look as good lit up as a reversed version (icon showing through).

Thanks!
