What did you guys use as Nintendo white flat t-molding ? I've been satisfied with www.t-molding.com 's products so far, is this the best to get ? Thanks ! |

hi level42, first i must say, i've been looking at your topics of restorations for the past couple of days and am very impressed and jealous :) especcially you nintendo cab, what a find! and that in the netherlands. ik kom zelf uit goes :) i am building a mame donkey kong cabinet from scratch myself and bought a lot of stuff, including 5/8" nintendo t-molding (http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=TMW58IN), from www.mikesarcade.com and am very happy with it. for as far as i can judge that is, since i am not done with the cab yet. if you like, you can check my progress on www.donkeykongarcade.blogspot.com. and yes, i should have routered the t-mold slot BEFORE constructing the cabinet :) good luck and greetings, barry |

I purchased some of the "flat" t-molding from T-Molding.com. The stuff I got was rounded, not really flat at all. I tapped it will a rubber mallet and it flattened a bit more, but I am not too impressed with this stuff compared to the original Nintendo t-molding. Maybe I just assumed it would look a lot like the original Nintendo t-molding. |

Whatever you do make sure you have a CENTER CUT T-Molding channel as some are not center cut...and T-Molding for the offset cut is impossible to find. You have to go a little bigger and deal with a lip or cut the lip off. |

The picture on t-molding.com is a bit misleading, it's pictured too much from the top, probably too hide the difference with the real stuff.... www.t-mold.com has a bit more honest picture I guess, at least this shows that it just isn't exactly flat. Joeks, dankjewel en welkom ! Altijd blij Nederlanders hier te vinden ! I think the original Nintendo t-mold should be 9/16" not 5/8" ? Is it possible that the t-mold only gets really flat when you actually install it ? I still have the original strips, maybe I'd be better off trying to clean it, if possible at all... |
