Donkey_Kong:
I think it's great. I like the marquee and I see that 25c up there. I thought that it would be cool to maybe someday if you got really ambitious you could replace that red button in the front with this...

Thanks IG-88. I asked for photo glossy paper, but when I picked up the art work they said they were out and so they'd laminated it over matte paper for free instead ( I think those were the only two choices...they definitely didn't have vinyl). I was p.o.'d but I was in a hurry so I took it. But, I might do it that way again next time anyway; the laminate protected the print during construction, and under the plexi I'm not sure I could tell much of a difference. The printer was just an HP DesignJet.
I saved the files as .pdf, burned them to a CD, and took that to staples. According to their online service they can use Corel files, but the locals weren't so sure. The transition to pdf did change some of the color slightly. Staples cut the paper to the image size, but I think I lost 1/8" or so somewhere, either in their cutting or in the transition to pdf.

Damn! I don't know how I missed those buttons at GGG. I'd actually toyed w/ the idea of taking the button and bezel off of an old coin door but figured it'd be too hard to do it right.
Does anyone know if the CDR button fits in a standard 1 1/8" hole? I can't tell from the GGG web site. It looks like it might be smaller.

Looks like a very good bar top to me. Hope it gets lots of use!!

Yep Standard size hole is what you need to drill for the main body. There are also two small pins above and below the main body. Randy includes a drilling template and instructions.
