I'm getting to the point on my build that I need to figure out some finish elements. The biggest one in my head this week is...how does everyone mount the marquee? what kind of retainers are used?
I went through looking at a lot of the build pictures, but I couldn't really find the best answer. I considered using a small strip of wood (1/4x1/4) all the way around on the outside, mount the marquee, and then quarter-round on the inside to keep it in place, but that doesn't sound like it'll be near as nice as others are showing.

Can you not make a slot for the facia?

It is not that difficult.   ::)

Why not just use marquee retainers. There are good number of sources including twisted quarter and arcade boneyard.
Some machines have a small route out for the marquee and then retainers.

Check out what mcseforsale did with his cab.  Very cheap solution.  Perhaps you can do the same to yours?

Yeah, I normally use whatever I can find at Home Depot and paint black whenever I am in need of a retainer, both for original and scratchbuilt cabinets.
