Looking For Scans of Nintendo Vs (Red Tent) Control Panel.
« on: August 20, 2008, 10:58:17 pm »
I have a Nintendo Vs Table MDS-TBL-US (also known as a "Red Tent"), but the machine was modified to run Tetris in or around 1988.  The original control panels, which were designed for two players on each side, were removed and  replaced with homemade versions set up for only one player per side.

I have decided to make reasonable facsimiles of the original control panels, but I need to be able to reproduce the original markings on them.  I am therefore wondering if anyone has or knows about any high resolution scans of a Nintendo Vs Table control panel that I can use as the basis of my reconstructions. 

Also, since I haven't seen an original control panel in over twenty years, I need to know if the control panels were white, or if they were just brushed aluminum.  My memory seems to lean towards the brushed aluminum, but for some reason, I keep thinking they may have been white.  If somebody would be kind enough to tell me for sure, I would appreciate it.

I've actually got an even clearer photo from an ebay auction a few weeks ago, and can probably use that to reconstruct a version of the control panel graphics ...



... but even though I know I could do a good job, I was really hoping for something more precise, hence my request for a scan.
