I'm now taking orders for Namco Cyberlead + Sega Aero City (both Euro and Jap style) marquee holders.
Aero City (Euro Style):I have the Euro style Aero City example complete. It was produced using a OEM holder but my repro is of far superior quality.
My repro is at the top the original is below:
The original looks frosted because the original protective film is still on it.
To be honest the quality of the original is pretty disgusting. The profile has been routed out and then flame polished. Because of this you are left with a glossy but rough finish:
Other parts of it have just been sawed and then flame polished:
As you can see the quality is pretty awful. I was going to semi hand polish mine and then flame polish them. I tried this method and you do get a good finish but IMO its not perfect so I have decided I am going to hand polish mine fully to a high gloss shine. It adds about an hour to each one but I think the results are worth it.
Here are pictures of the same parts of my repro:
Much better I'm sure you will agree
Due to the amount of time I am spending on these and increased material costs to get them perfect I will be charging £60 each for them.
Aero City (Jap Style):
I also have the Jap style ready for ordering.
Repro on the left, original on the right just for comparison:
Once again the quality of the original was pretty bad. My new ones are much nicer.
I was concerned about the radii in the corners and it looks like I was right to be worried. I spoke to an Aero owner and he kindly took some photos of his original holder mounted in his Aero. As you can see the holder sits flush to the cabinet and the radii that I had on the 1st Euro holder would foul and not fit properly.
I decided the nest thing to do would be to recess the corners slightly so that they will sit flush whilst the rest of the sides will keep it central for mounting:
Final picture for comparison. Once again mine is on the left, original on the right:
I will relief the Euro holders in the same way.
Price of these Jap holders is the same as the Euro ones, £60 each.
Cyberlead:I also have the Cyberlead holders ready to go:
Price of these will be £25
As always all holders will ship with the correct mounting hardware. I'm just confirming whats required at the moment.
I am getting a load of current orders done over the weekend and I'm planning on getting the hardware ordered ASAP to hopefully get everything shipped next Friday (18th) on my day off.
If anyone wants one shipping next Friday can you let me know ASAP so I have as much time to get them done as possible.
Thanks
