T-Molding Ordered

T-Molding is a plastic strip which is used along the sides of the arcade cab for decoration (and to hide rough edges :-) )

I wasn't sure what colour to go for so ordered some samples from Arcade Word UK and a US site that I can't remember the name of (their samples were smaller, but free!)

In the end I decided blue would probably go with the Bubble Bobble theme the best.

The T-molding strips are backed with a jagged edge which fits into a slot in your wood, so in  order to prepare the MDF I need a slot cutter.  In a classic case of so called rip off Britain it was cheaper to order both the T-Molding and slot cutting router piece from the USA and pay shipping than it was to order from the UK.

Groovy Game Gear .com had the best price and seem highly recommended by cab builders so I've place my order with them.
