- Woah! I’ve watched this video several times trying to ID stuff (like the Hyper Fighting Big Blue marquee). That panel never caught my attention.
- I wonder what the deal is with that thing!?

- Lmao, there’s a 6 slot Neo-Geo in that vid; marketing department fail!

- That’s pretty crazy. Even if it was a conversion kit, it made it into an official Capcom video.

- It’s so funny. I remember someone trying to sell a BB pedestal a while ago and everyone thought it was a jacked up cab or a custom. Great find! So I guess the price just went up on the pedestal [emoji23]

- I have a QSound cab with the “attached” marquee. I’m curious as to what the bezel and glass rest on inside other people’s cabs. Mine had some filthy shroud and a haphazardly cut piece of vinyl tossed on top of some wood, and then the glass was just barely able to rest on the wood frame across the bottom.
- I was wanting to trash the vinyl and use a plastic bezel but on the ones I’ve test fitted don’t quite leave room for the glass to then rest on wood. Just curious to know how the bezel and glass fit on everyone else’s setups. Thanks.

- The Big Blues have a paper blackout bezel surrounding the monitor, then a flat black piece of particle board laid on top of that. The glass rests on top of the wood and is held in place at the bottom by a small metal L bracket. There was no plastic bezel on these cabs. TBH they look a little unfinished and I’ve constantly gone back and forth in my head wanting to put something in there to look cleaner, but I keep deciding to leave them factory. The only one I can think of right now with a traditional bezel with artwork was Marvel Super Heroes, but there might have been a few others - but for the most part Big Blues just have the small, plain wood bezel.
- I’m waiting for my CPO for the one on the right, and I won’t leave those buttons in there - it was just for a test!

- I agree about the unfinished look. On one of mine that (I am pretty sure) has the correct pieces, you can still kind of see the marquee light coming through and the inside of the cab at certain angles.
- I’d imagine a fix would be to just add another layer of black cardboard.

- No - the glass should sit on the wood and be held in place by the bracket. Either yours isn’t go up as high into the cab as it should or someone replaced it with a piece that is slightly too long.

- Nethawk86 said: It was a huge PITA to make a new box and cp and wouldve cost a lot for my AVP. So i got with Haruman customs who does cabinet parts and CP’s and we designed a 3 player CP to fit on a 2 player box. It came out great after a couple tries and cost under $100. I think it was either $50 or $75, cant remember. He should still have the file for it. Not too cramped at all.

- I have a 4 player panel from an old Slam Masters cab I had that had been converted to 2 player. I think the 3 and 4 player dimensions were the same. The side panels of the box were the same, it was mostly just the front piece that was elongated, the diagonals were slightly longer.
