I got it from www.neoncreations.co.uk

It has a US style neon exit sign on the reverse and as part of the deal I also got a flashing / blacklight / neon Pac-Man sign about 2.5 times the size of the Flynn's one. It was hand-delivered on a 7-hour round trip ferry.

As for total price, well everything you need is in the above two paragraphs ;) - depends on how much you want to know how much

I had a friend print out an actual-size Time Out Tunnel sign on vinyl that I'm going to put on plexi and backlight. Just need the time to build the box to house the thing.

Unstupid... Maybe I am - I have everything apart from the cab itself. Full Phoenix art, all controls, monitor, lamps, PCB, just no cab to get nice. It's the one cab I want to 'do' as opposed to 'buy'.

It's my real grail, but has to be battered and needing a lot of work.

For those wanting prices, I don't know exactly what it cost as I got other stuff in the deal, but the deal was £800GBP + VAT (20%, but i get it back). Around that anyway. For the money, I got the bespoke Flynn's, a US-style exit on the reverse, a Pac-Man neon that's ace and hand-delivery. It's all above anyway. And it's also a lot of CL cabs!! Pays your money, makes your choice. It would be around the £800 I think for the double sided , maybe £600 just for Flynn's.

At the end of the day, it's hand made, amd when I ordered it I didn't realise, but each letter is a single piece of glass. Worth it to me and it looks ace.

The other thing to 'member is that we don't have the resources here in the UK (or indeed, offshore like me). Cabs here even ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- ones fetch good money unless you drop lucky. Limited market.

I would guess it would be less than half stateside. Is that a word?

HaRuMaN-

I have an extra one that doesn't have masking on the front of it. It's yours if you want it.

There's no pre-mask over the front of the vinyl. It's a big piece, like 14 x 27 1/2 or something like that, so the pre-mask helps with laying it down.

I could send you some pre-mask for that. I  might be sending you a controller real soon here too.
