Scan
Hey Phet, I got the scan from Stealthie so you don't need to mail me anything. It worked out really well.

Almost done
Just need to stamp in the serial number. I made a few of them, and some other people wanted some too. It looks better than the photos below:

Absolutely amazing. If only every project could be turned around this quick, and I didn't even have to beg!

If anyone else wants a Punch Out tag let me know. Also here is the final image I used to make the tags:

It is in GIMP xcf format, you will need GIMP to print it, good thing it is open source and free!
Linux: http://www.gimp.org/
Windows: http://www.gimp.org/windows/
Crapintosh: http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
Also if anyone needs a tag for any other Nintendo cabinet have someone send me a clean as possible scan at 600 dpi or higher. The higher the dpi the better the final result. I can use this Punch Out tag as a template for any other cabinet, but some Nintendo cabinets the tag layout is different, and some "Nintendo of America" instead of "Nintendo Co., Ltd."
Nice work Tighe! You do quality work and I am very impressed. Karma for you bro!!

Heres a scan of mine.
According to this scan when I measure the holes they are .15 inches which is about 5/32 Phet is that what yours is too?

looks like 1/8 would be fine too. 5/32 would work though, it's only a 32nd of an inch difference.

I already did some of them 5/32 I will do the rest 1/8. The thinner gauge aluminum is too thin to stamp the numbers. Also, it looks like shit if you stamp through the clear coat and label, so I have to cut out the box on the label before I put it on the aluminum, then stamp, then clear coat. It took a bunch of tries before I got it decent.

Making more
So I wasn't happy with the last batch I made, so I made 3 more. Only one is finished right now. I used many coats of the triple thick so they take a long time to dry enough so that I don't leave finger prints on them. Here is the one I just finished:
Here it is with all the triple thick, note how glossy it is, looks nice but doesn't look original:
(click for full size)
Then I wet sanded it with 2000 grit to take off the shine:
I think I will leave one with the glossy finish.
