T-Molding Put on

So I have overcame a huge debacle as I had mentioned earlier with the putting on the T-Molding and having the upper edge of paint chipping off. I decided to go ahead and uses the .020 ABS plastic sheet to place between the outer edge of the surface and under the edge of the T-Molding and then continued to use the Mallet to place it then continuously moving the plastic forward and this prevented the paint from chipping. In the picture you can see the right side has the T-Molding and the left does not, its a seriously drastic difference in the way the cabinet looks, I'm really happy with the finished look.

As you can see in areas where the T-Molding had to bend around corners I cut notches into the wedge to allow flexibility and to ensure it holds tight. When notches are not cut you are essentially cramming into a space where there's not sufficient room so it typically will not go in flush with the surface, and tends to come up over time looking like crap. I just used a pair of dykes to do it with, its the material cuts pretty easy.

So in the pic you can see both sides have been applied and look great, i placed the marquee and control panel on just to show the huge difference and just how much better the cabinet is looking then before I started. I think the most difficult part about the T-molding is being its specially made to be flat but its some of the softest T-Molding I have ever felt, being shipped in a roll it maintains that form and its constantly battling it to twist it straight while applying. this is no fault at Bill whatsoever he does not have a say in it, nor is there really any other way just a small annoyance but the "True Flat" surface of this T-Molding looks great, the white is brilliant and I am very happy with the purchase and reccomend this to anybody who has never changed the T-Molding on their Ninty cab.

next up is doing the black touch up paint then fixing up the Bezel Retainer. More parts in the mail, and Monitor Cap Kit and New Flyback installed stay tuned!
