- No one really makes them because no one is willing to pay enough to make it worthwhile. I had a buddy with a CNC design one. I offered to produce more but people balked at paying $100. So not worth his time.
- Your best shot is to make your own. It’s not that hard if you have a router and some work working skills.

- Hello all, I’ve got a Big Blue shell, missing the control panel and the marquee box, is there anywhere I can find the specifications/measurements to try and make these or have them made? The model is like the one in this photo (not mine)

- Does anyone have a q-sound big blue with the detached big marquee? Was hoping to get some measurements on the marquee box and mounting info. I have a buddy who just picked one up but it was missing the marquee box and mounts.

- Hey all.
- I just recently got a 1st gen big blue (sold one years ago and been hunting forever!). It came with 3 extra marquees that are NOS that still have paper on them.
- I don’t really need them. Anybody have an idea of what the big blue marquee market is like? Want to trade for anything? If not, I’ll just take the paper off and maybe use them as wall art.
- They are AvP, Darkstalkers, and Eco Fighters.
- Any advice would be welcome.
- Thanks,
- Steven

- Eco fighters is rare, I’ve never seen one before. AVP/DS are more “common” but most of the marquees are pretty uncommon IMO; capcom didn’t put out that many kits with the large marquees as the standard size is much more common.
- There are plenty of us who collect them.
- Especially NOS is nice. Toss up a listing in the marketplace.

- I wouldn’t know how to price NOS BB marquees but definitely nice to see.
- That ECO Fighters is rare AF!

- Has anyone ever had this issue
- I have a first gen and I ordered a replacement cardboard bezel square with the fighters on it.
- Not only did it arrive bent up but it won’t fit in between the wood and glass bezel ??!
- Almost like it’s too thick ??
- Any ideas or recommendations or solutions.

- I will say I had an original one in the past and the material seemed much smaller width wise of material. This one is simply too well made out of whatever they used.

- On mine the bezel sandwiches in between the square of particle board and the glass. can you show a pic of it on the cab?
Post #1275 — easy_rider, Jan 12, 2023
- Yes that is what I’m trying to do but the glass will literally not slide up into the black speaker part due the sandwiching of this fat cardboard. If I remove the bezel part the glass goes right up on the particle board but with the fat bezel art part it won’t fit up for pics.
Post #1276 — easy_rider, Jan 12, 2023
- If I could get it to slide up I’d leave it smashed in but it won’t. I’m thinking the material used for the art part was too fat.

- Oh i see; on my cab, I had a similar issue with the marquee. the metal panel that retains the bezel, glass, art, and speakers is a bit tight. I couldn’t get my marquee to slide down into it, so I resolved this by loosening the bolts that hold the panel down on the cab. That might help you too.

- I have emailed them about the issue and waited since Nov 25 for this. Really bad packing. It was shipped between two thin cardboard sheets. The art itself is actually really good but it got creased and looks like crap and is too fat to fit.
