Nice progress, well done.
I suggest you might need to use some other speakers or de-case those... I'm almost certain that those speaker boxes are going to cast a shadow on your marquee. I suggest trying a marquee in a dark room before you finalize anything.. and if you're set on those speakers being in the case, try some foil tape on the roof to reflect the light back down.

Following on dmworking247 recommandation for the speaker,
If decasing isn't an option for you you can try what I did...
I'm using logitech Z2300 and have a similar setup : speaker close to the marquee and NOT decased.
Basically, I mounted the light source above the speakers and use a piece of luan covered with a reflective material.
if you need more info, here's the post where I talk a bit about it... (post#191)

On my current project, I had the same issue. If you can't find black screws, a touch of black spray paint may be your friend. I had the same issue on my current project. To get them consistant and even, I taped them together with a bit of tape, then hung them up.
Great progress.

Had to fix a problem with one of the pinball buttons on the side of the control box. When I drilled the hole, I drilled too low which resulted in the bottom panel being in the way of the button going all the way through :banghead:.
My first thought on fixing this was just throw the router thorugh the hole and make some room. I tried it and realized that the bit would not reach through far enough. After several minutes yelling at myself for not drilling in the right spot in the first place, I decided to try and use the spade bit to clean it out. It worked. I'm not proud of it as it is kind of a hack job, but it works and won't be seen once everything is put together. (new this was going to easy)
Here's a shot of the button going in all the way.
And from the inside...
