Doesn't address the lack of an LCD in that rectangular shape. Can't have three if you can't have one. |

I'm sure you could get a good size screen and cover up the parts of the screen you don't need and make it fit a normal size marquee opening, as long as you can move the image to where you want it on the screen. |

IOW, 4 to 1 which is much skinnier than most marquees I think. The problem is the spaces between then monitors.. |

Maybe I'm showing my age here, but when I brought my Ms Pac and Asteroids machines home, I was so proud of the fact that not only were both marquees in tact, but they both lit up and looked great. That part of the machine is one of the foundations of the unit in my book, since you were always looking for that familiar marquee of your favorite game in a foreign arcade (back in the day). I wouldn't think of tearing them out to replace them with anything else. Now, if I had a machine that was missing the light hardware and/or the marquee, maybe I'd consider something like this- |

Tommy, your suggestion was mentioned above... you'd have to do that in a nontraditional shaped cab to fit the screen. |
