Title: Tron Legacy Bartop Arcade
Post by: sdchown on November 25, 2012, 02:37:26 pm

Hi

On commission I've built this Tron Legacy cabinet. Wouldn't have been my choice of theme (it's film related, not arcade related) but I'm pleased with how it came out. It's my first attempt at having hardened vinyl made for the control panel.

Any idea where I can get cheap blue balltops for the sticks (Zippy long shaft joysticks)?

Hi,

Very nice ! Can I borrow the photos to put on display on bartopmania.com, please, as we publish photos of nice bartops from around the web. ?

Visit GroovyGameGeardot com for balltops. Randy is a regular member here, too

Thx

Zippyy uses standard 6mm threaded balltops.

Focus Attack (http://www.focusattack.com/balltops-battops/), GGG (http://groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70&products_id=368), Paradise (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/62-balltops), and lots of other places carry balltops that you might like.

Paradise and Focus Attack carry Sanwa LB-35's in light blue or dark blue.

I'll let you know when it's finished (it still needs chrome trim etc) and you can have some photos then.
