marquee trim help

[badkitty]

hello guys. new to forum. got my first cabinet off craigslist 3 weeks ago. It was totally empty,except coin door, but in good condition.

 so 3 weeks and $400 later i am 85% done or so. I am using Mgalaxy FE, mostly fighting games, SF's , KI's , golden tee and alot of classic arcade games.  im waiting for my x-arcade trackball i got from ebay, which im transplanting into my cp. Me and a few friends have been having a blast with it, even in its current state.

 anyway..the first pic im posting is of the marquee trim, i cant find on internet, all i find is the straight pieces, not this type.  any help?

im running a 26'' zenith tv(BARELY FIT its wedged in there) , PC is : p4 2.4ghz , 1GB ddr400 , 80gb HD, Nvidia FX 5950, (killer instinct runs at about 80% speed, and some levels 50% )   my 2.4ghz C2D , 2gb DDR677, ATI 1900xtx and 74GB raptor HD run KI 100% in all levels. too bad its not in cabinet..its my favorite game.

That one might be difficult to find...

you might end up doing your own.

Some ideas...
- L bracket for drop ceiling (you have to do 1 "slot" at roughly each inches, then, you'll to to curve it)
- plastic corner for gyproc (these are similar to your actual marquee retainer, but if I remember correctly, they are "perforated" on both side)

If you don't find your retainers already made, stop by the hardware store and look around...

Sorry that I can't be more useful...

I often wondered if a 27" would fit in to my now sold Robocop/Bad Dudes cabinet...now I know it would have.

ya BARELY.   there were 2 strips of plywood on either side, glued on top of eachother...i had to chip away 4 inches wide and about 1 inch deep..into to it. but im glad i did, the 20'' i WAS going to put in just looked too small.
