I can vector that artwork for you. I've been redoing the Atari stickers on my cab.

Never done it before, but a place like this seems reasonable:

I don't know how they handle transparent portions though.

Yotsuya also did some vector work on the Beast's back door stickers. They look great! :applaud:

I'm using that same method to make a Midway plate for my cocktail today.
Kludged together a MAME cab 10 years ago, it got a makeover January 2012
