i think they cut their tmolding to 20ft.if you order 40ft you get it in 2x20ft lengths.

according to what i read, a Donkey Kong cabinet uses 20 ft.  it is a relatively small cabinet and the t-molding only goes about half way back on the bottom side.  i'd probably go at least 30ft.

groovygamegear sells it by the foot, no minimum order..l  i ordered 30ft for my other mame cabinet, i havent actually gotten around to installing it yet, but it came in 1 30ft piece.

If unsure it's best to order more.  T-molding is dirt cheap and the shipping costs will probably be the same whether you order 30 or 40 feet.  The worst is if you realize that it's not long enough.   :banghead:
