Im toying with the idea of having new atari power brick mounting panels made. This is the piece that holds the fuses, transformer ect. These are always covered in crud, rusted ect. For those anal restoration people, who would like a nice shiney new case to transfer your parts to? No more sanding, priming & painting :)

Would be die punched zinc yellow plated part like the original. Rich at TOG will be able to provide the labels.

Pricing would be $26 each and shipping would be vias USPS Priority flat rate box.

I'd need 20 presold to go with this....

Post here if interested.

For the truly anal restoration, you'd need the serial # decal custom printed. Is he/someone willing to do that also?
 
You might also see if there's enough interest in making the Tapper/Tron style power supply base in zinc plating. I've seen plenty of restorations where that has been stripped and painted hammered silver because the plating doesn't hold up.
 
I think i'm just anal enough to want a couple of these bitches, i'm sick of having em powder coated and my black widow/quantum would appreciate it.

May seem silly... does this price include the labels or is that something we would have to purchase separately through Rich?

Labels not included in the price, but I'm sure I can buy a small lot from Rich and ship with the panel. Probably only a couple bucks, but Rich would have to chime in with his cost.

I dunno, didn't ask Rich about that when I inquired about the fuse labels. If does not, I'm not sure how to go about it. I'm sure there are some peeps out there that could. My concern would be keeping the orders straight with who got what number. Plus if buying extras for future use you won't have a S/N. I personally could care less about the S/N sticker as 90% of the games I've seen don't have them anyway.

Or if a "sticker" sheet was done with all the cabs S/N labels including the square ones for the back...would be made to order but maybe that's something everyone would be interested in??

There's a forum member, Etienne, who is printing various cabinet labels, mostly Atari, that are on the aluminum type sticker. The serial # decal is on the same material, I believe.
 
Count me in for 4 of these. I'm anal-retentive enough to want to do this to my games that have these... ;)
 
On 2nd thought, with the small size of those labels, I wonder if one could be taken off with a razor blade and reapplied.

Yes they can... its not perfect... but possible:

I'd take one for sure. My Pole Position Brick looks horrible even after cleaning and polishing. I hate disassembling these damn things though, I can tell you that. Maybe it will be easier moving things over in a direct swap then trying to work from pictures though.
