About 15 minutes in Illustrator.
Here's a GIF, not sure where to put the AI file.

 ;D  I noticed that, too.  Thanks for the quick trace!  This is one of the two versions of the War of the Worlds CPO.

Please up it to the Library.

please could you
1) remove the mask you have on the top of the document
2) convert all text to trace. (there's an option i the text menu) this way anybody will have the correct tracing even without the correct font
3) fix the dimension of the document, ie create a new doc with the correct dimension in order to have the whole tracing enclosed

thank's

and side note, good job ;)

Whoops, forgot to convert the text to outlines. Also, fixed the document size. However, I don't know what mask you're referring to. I never created one in this file and I don't see one in there.

Also, I uploaded the new one - now how do I get rid of the old one? Can't find any controls for deleting or updating.

Megashock,
Here's the original pic I worked from if you want to tweak anything for accuracy.  I don't think accuracy really matters, because it was a prototype of a prototype.  I doubt this thing ever really saw the light of day, but still somewhat interesting.  My next project is to work on the screen overlay for mame and put together some unofficial samples so the game is halfway tolerable.

I would have just cleaned up the OG CPO and Used it. But maybe I'm just being sentimental!  ;D

Nice piece of arcade history!
