Can you please post a picture? I can't tell if it's suitable for a rounded marquee. I have a Data East cabinet and the marquee window is rounded. I'm still looking for a good way to hold the marquee in place cuz the original retainer is gone.

it'wont work on a rounded marquee.  Its stiff plastic for one and second the way its designed to be mounted wouldn't allow for it to be bent.  Sounds like t-molding might be a better alternative, though i'm not sure how exactly you would go about mounting that either.  Out of curiousity, what are you looking to get for it SNAAAKE?

I alreadt tried t-molding. The groove down the middle isn't deep enough because of a lip. Plus it would help to be a little thicker, too.

you can use a plastic retainer if you cut triangles into the side that is screwed to the cabinet.I have a bad dudes cabinet that has the rounded marquee and that is how data east did it.

I seen bad dudes cabinet and you COULD use this plastic retainer..I could post a picture but i got some from my site !
Here is one !

these are easy bendable...just bend it a little for bad dudes cabinet then use screws and they wont break.
No I am not telling you because you might wanna buy but I am pretty sure(I used to work at an arcade and did work on bad dudes cabinets).
I am looking for $20 shiped anywhere ever !  ;D
