Sorry for the shameless bump, but I was just curious if anyone was making any progress. I would like to add that I am not a freeloader and am willing to pay for any goods/services that anyone provides.

Sorry if I seem impatient but I just had an XBOX 360 countertop project fall into my lap on top of the VB and a N64 display I’m trying to complete. In short the projects are piling up and the VB is the closest to completion.

Cool. One idea I had was to get rid of the L brackets completely and weld two pieces of metal at 90 degrees from the top of plate. Then drilling and tapping holes in them to match the holes in the stand. That should hide beneath the plastic cover and look no different than the original. The reason I was contemplating this was that the L brackets extend past the plastic cover thus the screw hole problem.

Man you guys are the best! Opeth if you don’t mind to do that at work just let me know how much money for the metal and your time. I’ll gladly pay for a professional job versus me trying to do it on my own. I still wonder about attaching the L brackets to the plate. If the plate is only 1/8″ thick any screw/nut and bolt will obviously have to go through the top of the plate. It seems to me that would look tacky. Are there any exposed bolts on the originals?

Outstanding! After talking to a friend I think I might try to replicate the rubber coating as well. It might be difficult to find the exact pattern as the original, but I think the effort will be worth it. Ultimately I would like to have my display indistinguishable from a completely original one.

Wow! Man if you don’t mind to send me the scans that would be great. As far as the base, I just need the actual plate. The bottom of my unit has 2 metal L brackets coming out of it with 2 screw holes each. From the pictures i’ve seen the base on these units is just a metal plate that is covered in rubber. I would like to replicate this as closely as I can minus the rubber coating. I need to know the actual width, length and thickness of this plate. I also need to know how these L brackets attach to the plate. The easy way is just to run screws through the plate, but that would look like ass. So if there is any way anyone could lay their unit over and either take a pic, or just describe the mounting setup that would be great.
