This is the best! 3M sticks so well. Its really easy to cut and it sticks amazingly. I have a bloody great roll of it, if you want some just fire over your address John and I will send you some.

I remember one particular school summer holidays when I was 14 or 15. If I was bored at home after lunch I used to walk 30 minutes along the seafront into town and play stuff like Crack the Nut and Copper Run in the arcades. There was one arcade that had two Spoofs, a Black Hole, a JPM Take 2 and a few other 2p games at the back and they were great games to play to pass the time. PCP Fruit Connexxion was another one I liked, with the 'Wild Reel' skill feature that could go for 50p. To make my money last a bit longer before the long walk home again I'd walk onto the pier and play video games like Bubble Bobble, Nemesis, Pac Land or Track n Field, which were exceptional value for money at 10p a credit. I'd also walk around looking for decent holds on the 20p machines - two pint glasses on BFM Around the Town, two clown faces on JPM Circus, and so on. If I managed to get a feature it was genuinely exciting because I never played these sorts of games normally, and even just collecting a couple of quid meant I could stay out a bit longer and buy some crisps and an ice-pop on the way home. Out of all the games I played as a kid, Crack the Nut was probably my favourite - they just got the gameplay spot-on. The gamble seemed really fair and so did the '!' random stop on the name, and the way you could 'jump' the gamble, the timings and sounds...everything was just perfect. Had that proper Barcrest 80's feel about it as well; 20p was shown as £0.2 on the alpha display, 'Best Saved Today' and so on. I know I should have been doing something better with my time but seaside arcades in the early-to-mid 90's were really intoxicating places to be during the summer. Pure entertainment.

these are the files the 2 word docs are the finished decals they should be the correct size hope this helps

That's made me cry :(. I thank god I got to experience proper arcades. What I would do to go back and have a day in the old arcades of Ingoldmells......

Especially the one they converted from a Razzle Dazzle

I use the black double sided tape,about 20mm wide works very well.just make sure both surfaces are clean and free from dust,finger prints etc.the range have it and halfords,as used for securing number plates to vehicles.

You could try this stuff John. Its pretty good but quite hard to cut .its also thinner than the foam double sided tape but its got amazing stick

Deal or no deal.

on a recent raid with amot , we discovered this list thrown in the bottom of a gorf arcade machine that hadnt seen the light of day since the 80s enjoy stay safe
