Title: WTB: Happ Pica Vinyl (Black)
Post by: nickbuol on July 14, 2005, 04:21:19 pm

Happs wants $5 a foot for 40" wide pica vinyl.  I need basically 7" by 11 feet.

Does anyone have some extra that they would be willing to sell?  Ponyboy can hook me up with some, but it is at the same rate as from Happ themselves ($5) and my guess is just because it isn't sold as often.  (Thanks anyway Ponyboy.)

I would like to find some in the next day or so.  That way I can pay for it and get it on its way to me.

Thanks!

...bump...

It nobody has any, I will go out and pick up some vinyl from Parts Express.  I can see spending $50 from Happs, when I can get similar (I have heard that the Happs stuff is better, but for the price????) for $15.  Granted it is only 24" wide vs. Happ's 40" wide, but I only need like 7" wide away, and I remeasured, and only need 10 feet, so it will work.  I just wanted the Happs Pica as I hear that it sticks better.

I will post another note out here when/if I end up buying something to close this out.  Hopefully someone here has the Happs stuff.

the parts express stuff works well.  Check out M3talhead's cab for a good description of the stuff with pics: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=32169.0

Yeah, I saw this install.  Looks great to me.  I just heard that the Happs stuff was a little better, but that could also be because it is wider, and if you are doing a whole cabinet, and don't want to mess with seams like he did, you would want the wider Happs stuff.

I think that I will just order the Parts Express stuff.

Thanks anyway everyone!
