Title: Where to buy marquee?
Post by: disco-bob on February 11, 2011, 03:18:38 am: Hi

I'm new here so go easy!

I have recently bought my first cab and it came with (cool) Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back graphics on the side but no marquee. After googling I can see there are a few places in the US that sell the matching marquee but as I am based in the UK, I would appreciate some advice on a recommended supplier. I did try emailing a place called EMDKAY but they never bothered responding.

Any recommendations gratefully received.

Cheers
Andy

this is who i just used and it was outstanding work. Im sure if you email Scott he can give you shipping prices. The only thing is on there site it says they will be shutting the site down for a couple of weeks so you mite have to wait.

Scott did an amazing job on my custom designed marquee, highly recommended! He might even be able to reproduce the Star Wars marquee for you.

Do ALL of these have that? I'm about to start adding graphics to mine, and there is no part currently that has the lexan stuff. It would simplify the process if all parts could come pre-layered with/onto the poly-whatever plastic-y stuff.

very durible. I had it stored a bit rough recently and its still in great shape.

I will be getting the cpo for my new control panel from them again. I don't want acrylic on my cpo.

I believe you're the Paul I'm thinking - and you seem to not be receiving my email messages. I'll PM you on here since email isn't reaching you.
