Going to build a Namco Ms. Pac-man / Galaga 20 year Reunion cabinet.

Bought the most crucial part i think ? The front decal, off ebay.

Received it in the mail today. Excellent shape!

Here's a picture below.

Any idea where to get the Marquee from ?

It's not easy to find at all.

Just as elusive as the front decal.

The side art is easy enough to get. No problem there!

Can get the control panel sticker from Two Bits.

Awesome! I've been thinking of building one of these myself. There is one at a local pizza place I play whenever we are there.

Are you going to go with the 25" monitor?

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #3 on:** January 27, 2010, 08:34:40 pm »

Yes sir ! The 25" and probably a 60 in 1 board.

I think the 25" monitor on these cabs looks bad. The games were designed to run on a 19" monitor, and it doesn't look as good on a bigger monitor. (Just my silly opinion!

+1 At first I thought the big monitor was great, but after awhile it just seems stretched.

Same goes for all those type of cabs including the DK/DKJR/MB cab. I've played the 25" of that and 19 might be just as good if not better. Matter of preference I suppose.

I appreciate all you guys input on the monitor size. Something to really think about.

I know the cabaret has a 19" but the cabinet is god awful lookin !

Any ideas on where i can get the Marquee?

Could you model it after an original Pac-Man cab and have the artwork work?

I own an original cab and I don't like the 25" monitors either.

Anyway you could scan or take a good picture?

Of the instruction stickers on both sides of the Monitor bezel ?

Thanks so much !

highlander4 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 07, 2010, 12:59:41 am »

I'll get you pic's tomorrow.

highlander4 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 07, 2010, 08:39:39 am »

Is this what you need?

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #17 on:** February 07, 2010, 09:26:21 am »

Actually in the above post where you see the Monitor pic / Ms. Pac-Man screen.

The 2 stickers on each side of the monitor.

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #18 on:** February 07, 2010, 09:34:44 am »

I bought the Marquee and Scanned it in 2 parts.

I have no idea how to put it back together in Photoshop?

If anyone ever wants it? just PM me.

Of course it will have to be vectorized also.

BUCKETHEAD · « **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2010, 01:30:02 pm »

Here is the Marquee Download link.

Needs cleaning up!

If anyone does? Please send me a copy! Thanks!

I would contact Scott at mamemarquees.com for the stickers. You will have to either recreate or find someone who will do it for you but he will print them for you for a decent price if you ask.

Be sure to get the sizing right though. Maybe someone here with the same cab and those originals could help you with that.
