Title: NovaGemCDR Graphic Inserts
Post by: elsie on January 06, 2008, 10:40:06 pm

Does anyone know how easy it would be to change the graphic insert in the NovaGemCDR buttons from GGG.  I'm  thinking about getting some, and turning them horizontally to use for video poker.  I would imagine I could just print out some "Hold/Cancel" labels on transparency like here http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=71250.0 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=71250.0) and replace the CDR insert.  Would the 100ma LED overpower these transparency inserts?

TIA

I'd quite like to know if inserts are easy to change myself. Anyone out there know? 25c doesn't mean much to us 10p folks...

You might want to ask Randy at GGG.   I have the buttons but cannot see how the insert comes out and I do not want to force them.

Are you sure they are inserts?

"Legend is printed on outdoor-grade, self adhesive vinyl with pigmented inks and is die-cut. It won't fade or wrinkle."

That makes me think they may be fixed to the outside of the button itself.  If so, then you can't just change the insert...since there isn't one.

One of the main reasons I don't have legends for other regions is that I don't really know what is common from place to place. 

Maybe this would be a good thread to post photos of the more sought after coin legends from different areas?  If they are similar in nature, maybe I can accomodate the next time I print some.

You could try making your own, but they require really dense printing to prevent them from looking too washed out.

Iwas thinking the same.

Randy, are these stuck to the outside of the buttons?

If they are inserts how easy are they to change, and do you supply them with no insert?
