Speaking of Air Hockey... I won't own one again. They are fun to play, but super loud. I was happy to see mine go.

Not to mention the dings in the wall and the bruises on the chest from flying pucks. I'll be glad when mine is gone as well.

Hi theCoder, very interesting thread :applaud:
I am currently trying to source light blue buttons, it looks like from the button picture that your buttons are light blue (with chrome surrounds). Are these the Ultralux ones? I also notice you have green tops with blue sides on the buttons? Is this because you couldn't source green ones? I am about to give up sourcing light blue ones, was thinking of going with clear ones and then putting a blue film on the top to make it blue - do you think this might work?

If anyone else uses this technique, please post your results (here, there, somewhere). I'm interested in different approaches to increase the intensity and minimize the hot spots.

I Sort of did this.. My CP used CCFL lights on the edge of plexi to light up etchings, and my Spinner and Twisty grip use something similar to diffuse the light. It seems that the lighting would end up more uniform if you did embed a CCFL - whcih you could do just be routing a slot in the edge of the plexi..

My company forced me to move half way across the US to Austin Texas. The movers dropped off my household goods a few days ago. In the move, the hard drive in TimeSink crashed. I probably should have mounted the computer on spongy rubber or something similar; or better yet, taken the CPU out and had it properly packaged up. At least I have a backup. Or maybe I'll rebuild the computer from the OS up just for something to do. I've lost my access to a nice wood shop (for now) but still have the means to rebuild a computer.
On a related note, I had to let the Xcelerator go. My new home does not have a game room and the kids stopped playing it a while ago. I had it on Craig's list for a few months but got no response. It was a real drag, but I practically gave it away 2 days before the movers showed up for $250. Ouch...
