Now that I've found a solution to my save game issue as seen in this post: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,159557.0.html, I was able to move on to finishing up some more of the art.
For the marquee, I ended up going with this. I printed out two copies of it and for one of them I cut out the cassette section and the 720 logo so that when placed back to back, the light shines through the cassettes and the 720 logo more than the other parts of the marquee. Kinda similar to how the boombox marquee is lit.
When looking at the digdug and centipede cabaret, they have some graphics between the glass and the black cardboard monitor bezel. Here's something that replicates that using the 720 glass retainer sticker as inspiration.
Not sure why my cellphone can't pick up my screen properly and the marquee is blown out.
Just waiting for my cpo to be printed at this point and I can call it done.

will you remove the outer casing from the monitor? maybe it would get a little hot in there otherwise
(and maybe a vent on top of cab so heat can escape out)
* ps. all cabs in the past would have had a vent on top if it wasn't for the fear of damn kids and drunks resting their drinks up top there ;D
* ok that might not be true. it probably isn't.... maybe

I followed the plans from classicarcadecabinets and there are covered vents on top and in the rear.

Whipped up some 3d printed coin door mechs to use the coin reject buttons to coin up.
