I'm pretty sure i got mine from 'arcadeshop', this was about 6 years ago. I got the full wrap, the quality, to me is good enough but it's not exactly the same as the original which was screen printed or painted directly on the metal.... but it hasn't worn out or faded yet. However, I did make a mistake when I originally applied it and discovered the top layer if stressed or cracked changes colour quite easily and noticably (even the black parts) so you need to be pretty careful. Overall I'm happy with it but if I did it again I'd be a lot more careful applying it.

Frothy - if you get one, I'll get one too and we can share the postage / import duty costs?

PM me if interested...

Daniel-san, I would hang on for the silkscreened repros which are going to be produced very soon by Takeman (Troy) on KLOV. Ask James (tblilly), he got a silkscreened Missile Command CP, stunning.

 

[frothmeister]

Thanks fellas. This sounds good Nad although I'm not on klov forums, maybe it's time I signed up there.

Virtvic hopefully if we get them via this source we can have the value marked down so we won't have to pay import VAT and duties but if it comes to an AS order then yes by all means I will split one with you.

No Asty cab as yet but I would be happy to join the semi bulk buy should it happen, a cab will arrive soon enough. Although I am seriously thinking of waiting for Troys' repros as the MC is awesome

You must mean one of these:

Printed directly onto brand new repro panels. This one isn't mine. Mine is still clearing customs and has been for over a week.

The silk screened ones are lush, but importing Asteroids ones from the US and A would cost a fortune. Remember how big Asteroids cps are?

Just say when you want to order the ArcadeShop ones Mr.Froth...

I imported a Multi Vector CP from Troy and it was only about $80 iirc. Well worth it to make your cab a minter (imo).

I take it that's $80 shipping Dan, how much was the panel on top of that?

And yeah I know what you mean Vic, the Asty CP is very big so it's gonna be even more expensive to ship I would think.

Is there any cheap method of shipping 2 or 3 of these at a time do you think.

He quoted me $80 for shipping but then refunded me $30 once he had sent it, obviously was just a inflated estimate to cover himself. The panel was $80 for a Multi Vector CP, not sure how much tb lilley paid. Anyway, I was well happy with the quality of the repro.

 

[frothmeister]

Oh man, this is so very tempting. But then again I am TOTALLY skint.

That MC one does look absolutely superb. Hmmmmmmmmmm, does anyone want to buy an Asteroids Control Panel with a repro overlay already applied (albeit not the full wrap one)???

 

[PaulSwan]

Wait and get the multi Atari b&w vector one

 

[guddler]

Some of us are getting too old to wait that long

 

[tb lilley]

The MC panels weren't cheap. $120 for the panel, $86 for shipping. So ..... about £125 all in.

I may be up for 2 of the full wraps Danny,as i still have 2 asteroid machines here,i suppose the other will sell if i minted it up a little,ive ordered the chips for my faulty sound one.
