Hi Dom,

I'm just preparing the front of the case in anticipation of your screen arriving. I'm going to leave a 'lip' so that I can glue your screen on top of the lip - should get a better fixing this way. So that I know how much lip to leave behind when I'm dremel'ing, can you tell me the width of the borders on your design? (in mm)

Cheers, Milo

Any other tips on mounting this?

I think the screen border is 2.5mm, but I will check for sure later.

I have just made a website http://www.retrofresh.uk to make ordering a screen or label easier. Hopefully it will save me time in answering the most common questions/requests by pm.
I made it myself, so if there is any problems, please let me know!!
Thanks,
Dom.

Hi Dominator,

Im collecting parts for my own build. Just ordered a bunch of labels, a screen and a button board from your site. The site worked great and checkout was simple. Can't wait for everything to turn up so i can get started.

Thanks so much

I had to increase the price of the printed screen surrounds, they are now £7 each. This is to reflect the time taken to make them.
I expect the glass ones to be £9 each.

Thanks,
Dom.

Are you still working on the original "DOT MATRIX WITH STEREO SOUND" screen surround?

yes, as I have just caught up with things, so I will be making some tomorrow:

I will post some pictures of them when I have made them. I made a better template for applying these surrounds, so hopefully no more wasted printing.
cheers,
Dom.
