Just got an order of these from Cajun, They seem to be the larger type, but worked on every cab that needed some. Great service!

Holy crap that's a good price! I need some for my Pac.

*edit* PHOO! They only have three. :(

Also, he's shutting up shop too. Sadness. :crying:

what size were Bob's we can have these made

Y'all realize this is Paradise Arcade shop right? Let's give em some ideas. :)

Speaking of which guys: there are a few things Bob produced that are hard to find anywhere now. Y'all want to chime in, see if these guys can jump in?

Bob didn't produce much of anything. He DID re-sell quite a bit of stuff, however.

yeah that is what i am finding too that it was almost nothing and just found stashes of NOS stuff usually. that is the trick sometimes trying to find any stashes or put out alot of money with huge MOQ to have things remade like i have done many times.

Let me rephrase: there are quite a few things that Bob carried that are now hard to find elsewhere. We should compile a list and see if other vendors would be willing to step up.
 
I think Bob did actually have work contracted out, paid for the parts run/ fab, and then sold the parts on his site, much like people do here on this site all the time. I agree there are tons of things he used to carry that you just can't find all in one place anymore. I actually bought some extra sets of his small leg leveler plates and one set of his large ones before he went off the grid but I don't have any to sell.
 
I sure wish Bob or his family would pop up and ... perhaps ... offer up his stock to someone who's currently in the business (or a new entity willing to start up a new "Bob Roberts" type site)...

Aye, and and or give some closure. The radio silence is deafening and ominous. I really hope Bob and his family are doing well.

I like those medium size leveler plates. Not like anything originally on a cabinet, but I liked the replace the t-nuts in the Atari cabinets that would pop out or up through the panel with those.
 
Yes, but those are 1/2-13 thread- not what we need.

I also have looked everywhere for the small/medium sized 3/8-16 plates and so far have had no luck. I know Bob must have gotten them somewhere, I just wish the source was available.


Leg leveler T nuts. Available individually or by the set of 4. Heavy duty solid steel, 1/2" - 13 thread, leg leveler t-nuts.

I can't figure out the thread pitch though from this.
