What I know

1) Has a bend in the upper left hand corner.
a) Was told no big deal and to use some duck bill pliers and a towel to straighten out.

2) Has a pretty good blemish where the Hyper Space button resides
a) Was told no big deal and other received the same.

3) Has pretty good bleed where the left and right turn buttons reside.
a) again was told no big deal please re read his for sale thread.
b) Not sure if the buttons will cover the bleed. It will certainly be close.

4) Has an X on the back of the new panel.
a) Was told this is where the screen guy changed the screen?
b) Wtf?

5) Was told to ship panel back at my expense and he would make a refund.
a) Wtf? You don't stand behind your product? I didn't ask you to ship me this sorry b grade panel after almost a year. I want an a grade like you shipped the rest of the people. Wtf should I eat shipping on your mistake.

6) The panel has other imperfections in the screening as well.
a) You can see the white lines that were not covered completely in the second process.
b) There is a second smaller blemish in the blue panel under the rotate buttons.

So now you as a buyer no all the facts. You can also see the panel before you buy. Now you can make an offer on the panel if you wish with no hidden agenda.

Merry Christmas

Nice, where did I say eat shipping? You never bothered to reply to my PM for a refund and you do this? Did you mention it was damaged in shipping, no. I did not send it that way. The x is smaller than a dime, on the back What is the big deal? There IS visible bleed. Its not reverse screened. Do you know the difference? Did you read my FS post at all, no. There IS going to be bleed visible.
Why not explain why I said to try and bend it back, I said I was out of panels and that if a UPS claim was made, they would take the panel. Id rather save it than scrap it. So I offered a refund or a way to fix it.
Send it back, I'll refund as I said before after you pm'd me. I didnt notice the little tiny dot on the red youre talking about, sorry, The white showing on a couple small spots is normal. I had that on all 3 of my untouched panels I worked from which Atari made. They were not perfect......... Move on life is too short.

not that it concerns me, but I hate to see fedex get paid too many times on one panel. Maybe someone on your "wait" list would be interested and thomas can ship it directly to them to save time and multiple shipping costs.
 
If you stood behind your products would would have said you will issue a call tag. It's not my fault your blind.

I have no idea what "call tag" you're talking about is. Did you ask me for one of these? No. Did you inquire at all about how to go about returning it when I offered? No. If you had bothered to reply to my pm about the refund, I would have gladly taken care of it as I said. Instead you chose to flame me in a post and resort to name calling like a child. Could have done this like adults and amicably. Im not going to engage you in a flex of internet muscles and name calling.

Good luck with your sale.
 
You know what burns me the most is people that play stupid. You knowingly sent me a b grade panel. Then you play stupid after I post the pictures of your second run work and are still playing dumb.

Negative feedback on the way for you sir! What a waste of time this turned out to be. I wish I could have posted in your f/s thread what an awesome panel I received. That wasn't the case and I feel you knowingly tried to rip me off.

Second run panel is still for sale. What a shame too...
 
remind me never to sell you anything. your one of those people no one can please. It was damaged in shipping since it has a bent corner, so go file a claim, get your money back and move the fuck on.
 
The panel has a blemish in the middle. That blem sticks out big time. In fact it's all you can see when looking at the panel. Now he stated in the for sale that only one blem panel was made and they sanded down and re screened that panel. So explain to me where this blem came from? Since your so fucking smart...
 
so do you just stare at your asteroids machine or do actually play the fucking thing? Is your machine totally restored, new art, etc? jesus christ, get a refund and quit being a fucking crybaby

I dont know what all the built up hostility is from, but geez. Youre calling people names and throwing out accusations like Im this big scumbag on here ripping people off left and right. When I said I had a blem, I was referring to a large piece of tape that blew into the wet white ink which ruined the panel during a screening run. They were not all screened at the same time. That one had to be stripped. If you took the time to read the FS thread, you would see I made a few trips to the screener. And yes, there were other panels that were stripped. Those panels had more defects or blems that the average original Atari panel had. If you had taken the time to reply to my original pm on returning with with a simple "what do I need to do", this could have been done with. But instead you posted this thread. Again, Im sorry I missed the tiny red dot. It was not on purpose and in no way was I trying to "rip you off". You've been quick to point fingers, make assuptions and accusations rather work towards a resolution. I'll offer it one last time. PM if you would like to return it.

Ok fair enough and thanks for saying im sorry. You know it's hard waiting all this time for a product. Then to receive that product with a blemish in the middle of it. It might look like a small red dot in the pictures to you but it isn't. You can kinda get a feel for how big it is in the upside down shot of it.

Im sorry as well but you must understand the let down when others are posting nice pictures of there panel and I couldn't. Then you saying after almost a year that that is a good as it's gonna get because you don't have anymore panels.

So it was like ship it back and I will refund but tough luck buddy cause that's it. Surely you can understand how that would make someone feel.

I wont be shipping back this panel. I will do something with it.

Also I don't even own an asteroids machine. I just bought the panel to support your project. You sold me a beautiful Missile Command panel im just sorry that this one didn't turn out so well.

Again im sorry...
 
I appreciate the support and alot does go into making this stuff...more than some realize. Sorry for the let down...Im sure I have other panels left, but I consider them "B" stock. They will have more white edges showing. I'd refund you a few bucks and send another panel out if you want to swap yours. Not sure if that helps or not. It was a sold out run and some of the rescreens didnt turn out as expected which would have left me with a couple extra. I would have swapped it out if I could have. If the orignal had a black, every panel would look perfect as the black would cover all the bleeds. Thats not how it was done originally, so thats how I did mine.
