Title: Looking for some PINK T-Molding
Post by: 8way on October 10, 2006, 07:06:59 pm

Anyone know were I can find some 5/8" pink t-molding?

UPDATE!!! I’m a moron it’s ¾” not 5/8”.

It wouldn't be that hard to trim the extra 1/8" with a sharp exacto or the like if you can't find an alternate source.

WOW! Thanks daywane for the Dream arcades link. Can’t believe I missed that site. I’m building a bartop for my wife and I needed pink buttons and a pink Ball Top joystick. All I could find before were the Sanwa sticks and snap in buttons, this would have made it a lot more difficult considering I’m using 5/8 wood.

UPDATE!!!

Somehow I got it stuck in my head that I was using 5/8” wood, when actually I was using ¾”. So problem solved. No trimming needed, definitely a good thing cause I was not looking forward to attempting to trim it.

Does anyone know if a 1/16" slot cutting bit will be ok for the pink t-molding from dreamarcades.com?

By the way this will be my first MAME project. I will post pictures soon. Progress is slow whish I didn’t have to work.

Here's the history on the pink t-mold.  Dream Arcades really came through.  Though mine is still in the box  :-[

Belive it or not we still have several roles of it left. I think we ordered 10,000 feet =-)
Anyway, you can order it here:
