Alternate toughbook badges

I've seen these pop up on some laptops on ebay. Usually on diagnostic laptops. There are maybe two with Mitsubishi logos on ebay now. May have ended, I'm not sure.

Does anyone know if there is a source for these or are the order manufactured?

Did you get your palm rest end piece? I asked another member to contact you.

Ta, mate. I'll check the local sign shop tomorrow. Hey, maybe i'll get those mercedes, nissan and peugeot badges after all.

And no, i never bought the part i needed. I got the pm though. I couldnt get the pcb to fit, so the fingerprint mod i currently on hold while i get readers with smaller boards.

 

Jeff, I want one! lmao! Cool!

 

Take a precise outline of the outside of the decal/whatever. Clear mylar is best but I can do paper. Drop in an envelope and you'll get it. What cha gonna have on it Rob™?lol

 

Jeff! I don't know what "Clear Mylar" is... Can I do paper? I'll make a print out of it. How to do the letters??? Do you have some template you can get hot to burn it in???

I talked to wife and she said "I don't like leather! But If yours is cool looking can I get one?". Typical woman! EH! I'm thinking "Robert" for me. If the wife likes it would you want to do one for her too?

Also, can I really get picky and ask for black leather?

How to secure it down? Some special type of glue?

Let me know what I owe you! I must pay you for your time!

Thanks

 

Jeff you maybe on to something here...new business venture .

 

Indeed. I'd be interested as well. I have a feeling the company wont make any badges for me. They refused to make our speed shop sign, claiming the various logos (dodge, mercedes, audi, peugeot etc.) was copyright infringement.

All we had was the logo next to each name, representing which car they drove.

 

Hmmm, 'Toyota' works for me! I would be interested in a personalised logo, of course you may have to PM me, no copyright infringment here no sireee

Uh, guys!

Personalize Your Toughbook

 

Can you make me one that says DELL?


:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

 

Yeah, he couldn't do it though! I sent him a badge and he couldn't do anything with it

 

Jeff,

That is too cool, and I agree, you may have a new product line

I may need a clicker die. And a clicker. (think big biscuit cutter/hydraulic)

 

Hell yes. Go for it, mate.

Whaddya say, if you decide to make em and i give you a color code, is it possible to have it painted too?

Don't laugh. A baby blue CF-27 Peugeot badge.

EDIT: See? This is what happens when you let women vote. Seriously, what was wrong with the original red? Now we have a baby blue Peugeot 205 and a baby blue Koala bear (ebay...*sigh*) as a mascot.

 

Can I make........

 

OHH LORD!

P.S: Nice CF-30! Wheredja get that one?

 

Rob,
Thanks. I have two of them. Need one? lol +2 more no WWAN+GPS.

I dye 'em wet.....so two days to dry and then polish and it's out of here. (Black Robert)

I got Rob, Blair, Shawn (freebie test Dell).

A,
Baby Blue is available as a dye. have some royal blue ...let me check it out. They could be painted easily.

I don't have a CF-27. Do you have a pattern? PM for address.

Jeff

 

The ones on ebay that say Toyota or Ford are usually ex-dealership diagnostic laptops. The old Ford store I worked at had 2 CF-18s that they were constantly using. Almost every dealerhsip will have at least one and usually 2-3 Toughbooks in the back that they have ordered through the manufacturer... Panny personalizes it for them.

One thing about the logos I was having made... They were for the CF-28s at that time. The CF-28 had a painted lid and the vinyl logos stuck like glue to the top. The CF-29/30s have an anodized top and the vinyl doesn't stick as well... But will work.

AKBushPilot made me a leather badge several years ago. I haven't seen him on the forum in years!

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the CF-29 at work had a Toyota logo on it once. But considering the damage to it, i cant be sure.

Nope, cant say i do mate. Ours doesn't have a badge. But i doesn't really matter right now cause we have to buy a new one. The damn thing refused to turn on today and our newest team member, who for the record is the clumsiest bugger I've ever met, was suspiciously absent.

Anyone have a working 300mhz+ CF27 for cheap?

I'll get back to you on the others. Still gotta ask what me girlfriend wants on hers. Expect to hear from me regarding a CF-29 and a CF-19.

 

Jeff, you started yourself a new business venture! WOW! Good luck keeping up with the demand! lol!

 

First were toughbook logos...

Then leather toughbook keychains and/or logos to have sewn onto bags and backbacks,

Then a toughbook logo'd leather belt, and leather shoulder straps for the toughbook line.

Then his own line of tough jeans with the leather patch were the wangler patch was.

Then, we never see jeff on the forum again, just too damm busy.......

 

Don't hold your breath.

The belt now Hmmmmm.

Hey Rob™, how 'bout a black belt to go with your label and tatoo? :laugh: Now were getting to trade prices. W00H00! I'll build one and just kind of lay it out there.

 

Jeff! Can you do the whole half lid with leather covering it. It would be nice though if it in black color.


ohlip

 

You should see my ATV seat.....it's in "hair-on" Holstein. Black and white.

The problem is bending it around the edges. Upholstery leather 2 oz. weight..if you could get it to fit between the lid and front. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm thinking thinking.

 

We have ALL taken this Toughbook DISEASE to a level that is becoming VERY unhealthy...

Carry on...

 

So when are you getting your second toughbook tattoo?

 

Depending on rather or not I like the "Toughpad" I may get that on my other arm... We're a while out on that though

 

And so I am a kid in a candy store! Waiting for it to come back from Jeff was like waiting for grass to grow!!!

Pics attached!!!! Man do I have problems!!

WIN!

 

Damn that looks great Rob, good job Jeff:yes:

 

How did that tat turn out I can't find the thread on it.... Had read you
were going to get it but thats all I know. Pics????

 

It will Look good in black Rob..

 

Thank ya.

Next series I'll cut oversize and cut to fit after drying. Rob's shrunk a bit. I will also experiment with thinning it down after the dry. Looks great Robert.

Saddlemaker......you're on the todo list Blair

 

I'm the guinny pig... It's okay! It's a MINUET price to pay to have the FIRST EVER Jeff badge!

 

Now go remove those hedious stickers that advertise your Intel Inside!

 

Toyo, you don't know?? My CF-31 is powered by an AMD Athlon XP processor! The sticker proves this!

 

Just promise me sadlmkr isn't doing pinatas for you guys.

 

No! Really? So you mean its like slow and stuff?

Me gaming rig is built into an IBM Aptiva case straight outta 1998. Now sporting a Windows 98 and Pentium 2 sticker. I kinda did it reversed.

BTW, and yes, I did fit two frikkin HD6970 in it. Kneel before the master!

 

No problem Jeff...in no hurry. When ever you get to it.

 

SHAWN leather badge, received. I am now giving a fresh paint job to my extra CF30 lid. I can't put this nice badge on a crappy looking lid.

Thanks Jeff:hi2::thumbsup::hi2::thumbsup:

Pics coming...Had to wait for paint to dry before I glued the badge on.

 

Here are some pics...
