Hey guys, just wondering if somebody would be able to measure their Asteroids cabaret monitor plexi for me. I'm trying to order from TAP plastics at work, and I'm not near my machine. But I need to order a new plexi for it with two other things today. Thanks.
 
Shit, no. Disregard.
My brain read "Centipede", not "Asteroids."
Carry on ...
 
Here you go. I need to replace mine it has cigarette burns

One more try before I order. It's a thicker plexi correct, like 1/4"? I wanna make sure it sits correctly in the channel and under the CP. I don't want it rattling around because it's too thin. Tap offers 1/8 and 1/4. I wanna make sure I get the right thickness. I would check mine, but some kids that came to my Arcade lost a bunch of my keys, including the one to my Asteroids cabaret. That means I can't take the CP off very easily to check the plexi myself. Eventually, I will find the keys or we'll figure out a way to get the plexi out so I can replace it, but I just wanna get the right dimensions before I order.
 
Just thought I would post a picture of my original to give an idea of dimensions, the tint and the cigarette burns on it.

And after looking at the choices, I guess 'dark smoke' is much closer to the original.

Got my Asteroid cabaret plexis in. Ordered a couple different colors, light blue and fluorescent green. I wanted to get dark red, but they don't have that in the 1/4" thick version. Neither do they have dark blue or dark green in the 1/4" configuration. So far I like the light blue the best, but I'm gonna try some other darker colors later. I may actually add a dark blue film to the light blue plexi to see if I can get a much deeper, darker blue. Either that, or I'll order 2 each of the dark blue and dark red in the 1/8" version and double them up.

I added blue window film to the blue plexi to intensify the blue and to cut down on light emission. The picture doesn't do it justice, but it looks so much better. A truer blue and much sharper.

Looks awesome! I've been meaning to replace the scratched plexi on my AD cabaret and that looks perfect.
 
So I think I'm gonna pull the inner paper bezel off this thing and send it off to the dude that mods the asteroids deluxe bezels. TAP plastic sells a few black light reactive plexis in 1/4" thickness. I've tried so far the fluorescent green, but there's also a fluorescent red, blue, yellow, and maybe a couple more. I think they could enhance the experience of having some black light reactive modifications done to the inner paper bezel.
