Title: Speaker grills?
Post by: MacGyver on July 11, 2012, 04:23:18 pm
Anyone know a source for these (new, old, NOS)? The 6x9 ones (maybe they are 5x7), they don't have to be metal, but I really like this particular style, they are exactly what I envision when I think "arcade speaker grill".

I'm about a third of the way done, and will need these in about two weeks (woodshop is only open on Saturdays  :( )
Preferably one that is trustworthy, maybe one that takes Paypal and can ship to an APO?


EDIT:
Never-mind, finally found some on E-bay.  I'm either the proud owner of two (a pair) or two pair, not sure which one yet.  Thanks anyway. (Can't remove post)

Pretty sure those are long unavailable, as I see them sell from time to time on the restore forums, and "New" Ms. Pac machines never seem to have that grill on them.

These might be a good candidate for 3-D printing.

Not sure about the small ones... but the bigger ones look like the grills for the 6x9 speakers on a ms packman cocktail...  I bought mine from Mikes Arcade: http://mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=SPKRCVRMID (http://mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=SPKRCVRMID)

Arg, I wish I had seen them there first, I think I paid 4 times that after shipping.  Oh, well.  Thanks for the link.

I sometimes have to jump on things I need right away, as the time it takes to get them to NY then to APO, then to Germany is so long.  Everything I want comes with a 2-3 week wait.  Add that to the fact that the wood-shop here is only open on Saturday and you can see why it has taken me so long to get the cabinet done.  I'll post pictures after it is finished, it is quite a monstrosity, I had to make it come apart into 6 pieces to be able to get it to the 3rd floor up tiny German stairways (and make it look like it doesn't come apart when put together).
