CALLING RANDY: PGI - Pushbutton Graphic Inserts
« on: September 01, 2008, 11:52:25 am »
Hi Randy,

Could you post up some pics of the options you have available other than that on your site?

Thanks

I did try.....

Also, I thought the community might want to know this valuable information! >:D

And it might also give us an opportunity to put ideas forward! (Randy will know what I mean)

Nice! Did you use diffusers with PGI?

What I am really after is the alternative designs that are not available on the site.

You don't really need a diffuser with the PGIs because the PGI is basically printed on a diffuser.  I'll post some pictures of other PGI options later (going on picnic now!)

Here are some other PGIs in different orientations and lighting conditions:







And personally, I think that it’s great that the people that make this stuff are active on the board.

I think that is a little harsh! Randy provides us with a lot of alternative products and it is good that he actually listens to our input. I am not sure what type of experience you have but mine has been good and Randy has been nothing but helpful.

I don't favour anyone and always try to take an objective view of the situation but I can't say that Randy and his products are awful when he and his products have been nothing but helpful!

The same applies to Andy over at Ultimarc who is equally helpful!

yeah, RandyT is a very involved individual on these boards and is very helpful to his user base. He listens to our ideas, and serves the community well.

GroovyGameGear products, though not in my setup, are respected by many of us here and used in a lot of cabinets.

Don't knock it.

This really is a top product! What I am after are pics of the power options, or for that matter any other options available other than the ones on the site.

Randy, if I wanted to order other one (that aren't on the site) would it still be possible to do so? If so, how?

I wanted to make the order all together (as I need loads of other stuff) and if I don't order all at once the tax man with butt f**k me with customs charges!!! :angry:

What are you talking about?  What are the "power options" you refer to?  And what is the "other one (that aren't on the site)" that you're asking about?   ???

Now you see, this is why this is helpful!

There are other options available that are not on the site. Some include media functions (I assume play, next track, prev track, etc) and there is also a power symbol.

I have had a few emails with Randy and I suggested mouse symbols and pinball symbols. He said he liked the idea and would look into making them (this is why I argue the point that Randy does actually listen to his customers amongst other reasons!) but me being over eager wanted to see pics of the other options that are available but are not shown on the site.

This thread is to:

1. See pictures of existing options available, and;

2. Throw some ideas forward to Randy so that he may create other options.
