This is what a $50 Tapper looks like.

They'll be brass plated so I assume its electroplating. Damon and I had a set done back in the late 90's and they turned out awesome. It can be done.

Still waiting to hear back from the plating guy for a quote.

I think it was tim L had his redone and the results were not very good. I think I remember he had to to have them redone.

Tapper is already up forsale... My final lowball offer $400.. :)
 
Ha, sorry. Almost forgot. Here's the rest of the parts:

Could use a new CPO but overall fairly nice for the price. I don't have an extra $60 right now to buy one so it will have to wait I guess.

A dogs playing poster tapestry,a sketch pad,some lizard thing, (is it a toy? stuffed?) a Tapper,a gumball machine,some knight helmet thing on top of a dresser next to a bed. This thread should be called this is what a randomly decorated room looks like. :p Just joshing of course. Nice looking Tapper!

He sleeps with the lizard. :)
 
Well I glad a fellow KLOVer got this Tapper. I would've hated to see someone buy it at their garage sale and start hacking it up to put their Xbox in it!

I was the one who posted the CL link here on KLOV. That was an amazing steal!

...and the previous posters were correct. The CL AD was there for a while, and then it was removed.

Congrats on yor catch....!!!

..and

Hey, save some games for the rest of us Bay Area folks tho okay??

Thanks man....I'll try to be more sensitive to the needs of my fellow collectors. :) I really haven't bought many games lately. As I said, just two this year. Well, up until last night anyway.

If you got a $50 Star Wars cockpit I'm going to puke...
 
I am in the midst of restoring a tapper. I was wondering if anyone has had luck with re-plating the cup holders. I notice that the brass is not all over and that the metal is either pot metal or aluminum. If it is aluminum my guess is that it is an anodized finish. I see some have painted, some have powder coated and some have brass plated but I have yet to see pictures of brass plating them. I'd like to go as original as possible. My bezel looks good except for all the black which is the majority of the finish. It is mostly bubbling up and peeling off. I was going to exacto knife the black as close to the mirror part and then scrape it off and then just paint the black back on after masking the inner edge. Has anyone tried this?
