Ok... I have been on a multi-year quest to restore my Dragon's Lair and my Space Ace. As anyone who has ever done this knows, the big problem is getting quality vinyl at a reasonable price. BKAmuse once sent me in the direction of a cabinet parts supplier who carried the Black Pica vinyl somewhere in the $3-$4 range per linear foot. Now that I am ready to buy... they have quit carrying it. Here is what I have found so far:
HappControls - http://www.happcontrols.com/vending/acesor/49057200.htm
$5.45 a foot (40 or 49 inch width) $4.60 in bulk (150 ft or more)
Sun Process - http://www.sunprocess.com/gloss.html
$4.30 a foot (40 inch width) or $4.10 a foot in bulk (300 ft or more)
Vendors International - http://www.veii.com/files/pdf/VE Volume 12 Catalog.pdf
$3.60 a foot (49 inch width) or $3.00 a foot in bulk (100 ft roll)
I have been told that Happ gets their vinyl from Sun and that it is some pretty good quality stuff. I have no idea where Vendors International gets their stuff or the quality. Just thought I would throw this information out there for anyone else working on a vinyl covered cabinet. Remember to factor in shipping costs as this stuff is not light!
