Controls and Plastics

My Valentine's Day present was to order all my controls for the cocktail cabinet.  So, I went to Groovy Game Gear and did so immediately.  No date set for actual delivery, but I should see them arrive some time around 2/22 (next Friday).  My arcade-building buddy, Alan, is putting on another event at his house this weekend, which I hope to attend. 

Recently, I found a place which is only blocks away from my house, called TAP Plastics.  They are a plastics retail store carrying resins, fiberglass, adhesives, acrylic, and an assortment of plastic sheeting products.  Their target is for the do-it-yourself person to come in and pick out supplies needed to complete any related project.  This is exactly what I need for custom cut acrylic pieces to fit on the control panels, screen overlays, and other fun items related to arcade machine / MAME cabinet building.  I plan to utilize them for many other (currently unknown) projects in the future.

    Justin! Cool project you have there. Glad you could make it out to play my machine.

    I look forward to seeing yours sometime soon.
