NoAffinity said: Original is printed. Replacement - get it slightly smaller than the plexi and tape top and bottom. The upper and lower retainer will conceal the tape. Click to expand…

I just got some from t-molding.com for another cab. They’ve got a wide selection for arcade applications. Others might have other suggestions.

Here you go. I picked up these marquee’s a while back. I also have a SF2A marquee too (not pictured). All are one large piece Lexan. There is no separate translight marquee. I mentioned previously that the Lexan is white. That is not the case. They are clear. The image is printed onto the back. Then over the printed image, a layer of white film is laid over the back of the image. When looking at it from the back, it is all white. Looking at it from the front, the image displays through the Lexan. My SFA2 Big Blue marquee is quite a sight to behold.

sfernandes said: Hey would you do me a huge favor and could you give me the exact measurements of one of your big blue 2nd gen Marquees? I also would like to know the thickness. All measurements in inches if possible. I would like to get the plastic cut to size. Do you know it it’s plexi or lexan? Thank you. Click to expand…

Thank you Silly for doing that. Unfortunately though that is the one that’s already been repro’d. Notice how it’s a dark blue? There was another one that was a lighter grey, that they used on a bunch of them (It’s similar to the background of this SF2:ce overlay)

Here’s a picture of NOS one someone has on ebay, that’s been cut.

This threads gotten so darn big (that’s what she said) that I can’t read through it to figure out some things. I just picked up a big marquee q sound 2 player cab. I think it was an alpha 2 cab before it became golden t which then became area 51 site 4 lol. I’m using it for my AVP which is a 3 player. Has anyone modified or know if i can make the 2 player cp into a 3 player? Right now the control panel top is destroyed beyond duct tape repair lol. So I’m going to get a new one cnc cut but was thinking of either making the new top wider, or making a whole new AVP dedicated 3 player wider control panel all together (and don’t call me shirley ). I’d just unbolt this one and bolt on the 3 player. The cabs are all the same right? AVP just had the wider CP?

SillyB said: Ah, I see. In zipping through the thread I read one thing but thought another! Who prints the darker one, cause I haven’t seen that at any of the usual suspects?
Was that pattern just for AvP, or was it used on other games? It would be nice for the thread to have the correct CPOs for each gen of cabinet. Maybe KidVidiot could revise the comments section on each cab in the beginning to note if they had a dedicated overlay or a generic one. Click to expand…

Dedicated cpo’s off the top of my head:
Sf2 CE
Super SF2
X-Men CotA
Marvel Super Heroes
Punisher (big black)
Captain Commando
Slam Masters
I think maybe the dark blue cpo is just a bad scan job thats been disseminated around the repro sellers?
