TIMOTRON 2084 - Any help?
« on: November 04, 2005, 04:10:27 pm »
I would someday like to have a cheesy custom marquee for myself and I love robotron and its art style.

Is there anyone out there with like, free time at work or something that could help me make this simple modification. 

I want to take the standard Robotron marquee and adjust just three letters.  I want it to read

TIMOTRON 2084

Unfortunately, I have no graphic design skills.  But I would imagine that this would be pretty easy and I'm sure there is more than one arcade enthusiast out there named Tim that would appreciate it.

Do you know if there's a vector version of this marquee at the arcade art library? I wouldn't have time to trace the whole thing, but I could definitely find the appropriate font and alter a vector file.

yes there is a vector marquee available
as AAL is currently under maintenance, you can check the unofficial mirror

Cool, downloaded it. I'll try to get to it in the next day or two.

Okay, there doesn't appear to be a font that's an exact match so I built the new letters out of what was already there. I'm also trying to clean up the old stuff a bit - the original file is pretty messy and looks like it was done in something other than Illustrator.

Maybe I'll make a cleaner Robotron marquee for the library sometime soon.

But for now, here's what I did. Is that pretty much what you're looking for?

Thats exactly what I'm looking for.  Is there anything you're looking for?  Maybe a button or two?  Suzo Euro Style 4-8 way joystick?  Happ Ultimate 4-way joystick?   20-30' of dark blue t-mold? or any combination?

That is rad.  Also, is there a large file you can email me?  If so I will PM you my email.

All I'm really looking for is some help from these boards when I finally finish wiring and it doesn't work.  ;D
I know my way around Illustrator, but I have no idea what I'm doing with this wiring stuff.

Anyway, if you give me your email I'll send the vector file.
