I know this topic has been done, but searching back I didn't find a good answer..

I thought QuarterArcade did, but can't find it on the site. ArcadeShop is out of stock and not sure when they'll get more.

I need about 10ft to do a Missile Command cabaret cabinet. I want the quality stuff that Happ or ArcadeShop sells. Do any KLOV'ers sell it?

Thanks..
 

Well, I had considered going with Formica/WilsonArt Laminate, but don't want to at this point - main reason is I've already cut the t-molding slot, expecting the thickness of vinyl and not laminate on the outside.

With that laminate though.. at Home Depot and Lowes they have the samples on a chain. You can probably find a CLOSE match if you try.

I'm wanting vinyl woodgrain now, even if it's not a perfect match for the Atari stuff. Thanks.
 
Thanks. I just have to wonder if the wallcovering type is in the same league of durability and staying on the cabinet? Those samples are helpful though..I'd probably settle for any of them. I doubt I'd find an exact match in what's available, so I just want something close.

I emailed Quarterarcade to see what they might have.
 
Welcome to my nightmare.

I'm in the same boat. So much so, that I bought a MC upright (that isn't working) and am considering using the parts from my cabaret to repair it on the cheap...instead of fixing both.

If you find any wood grain vinyl that comes close let me know.

The sides on my cab could probably be scanned, touched up, and ink jet printed but I didn't want to go there unless absolutely necessary.

I've been following your work on your cabaret, and it would be a real shame to not find something close. You did a heck of a job restoring it to this point.

Thanks. The closest match would be finding a Formica or WilsonArt laminate, but I want the thickness of vinyl at this point and have already cut the t-molding slot, centered for that.

Good luck with yours. I'll eventually find some, but I doubt the match will be real close.

On a related note, I am doing a scratch build cabinet for my Football project. Since I'll be putting the ToG rescreened artwork on it, I'm going to use woodgrain laminate on that. I've seen some pretty close matches for the reddish pattern used on Football.
