The material/overlay whatever.. what do I do for that?
exact is a lil exaggeration I would prefer something exactly like the original, or any other matieral just like it maybe..

pacman, ms pacman etc

i THINK pac art was screened right onto the black metal panel. So it's a bit hard to get the exact same results with a printed overlay. Looks like you'll have to spend on the Twobits part (though who knows if theirs is exactly the same or not?)
NO MORE!!

Arcade Renovations has the original NOS overlays for $35 shipped.  Can't get any better than that.  Not listed on their site, email their sales dept.

The overlay was not screened on to the CP. It was a vinyl overlay. The Twobits ones are close but have a Namco copywrite vs. a Midway one. Arcade Renovations has NOS originals. I also have a couple of AR's NOS ones and compared it to my supposedly NOS one I got off ebay some time before and can tell you that he ones AR have are indeed NOS and not a knockoff. My eBay NOS one had wrong color yelloe. You couldn't tell until you looked at one that was correct.

I'll do one better than AR and offer you one for $30 shipped. PM me if you want it. (I only needed one). Same ones AR sells for $35.

I don't suppose you have an original bezel?  ;D

I was excited cause one popped up on ebay... then I had the guy send me a pic of the front (he didn't put in the listing... imagine that...) and a bunch of the art is gone, along with a bunch of dots messed up, plus the back has been painted over in black.  Disappointing, to say the least.

I think I might have one but it's probably in crappy condition as well.

Well.  Define crappy?  If it is anything that I could possibly touch up, given reasonable time (and minimal skill) I would go for it.  But if large pieces of artwork are missing then probably not.
