Title: Proposal....Contest??
Post by: TacoSmuggler on September 13, 2003, 10:47:06 am

I just purchased a Ms. Pacman/Galaga/Donkey kong PCB and I want to put it into an old cabinet that I painted black.

I have NO SKILLS in creating artwork. I would really like a kickass marquee and CP overlay for this machine.

I know alot of you have talent for this type of stuff and I wanted to propose a trade. I have a NOS dynamo 4 player control panel I am willing to part with. It has never been cut or drilled. Measures 37"x 16"!  Included is the metal CP bezel that it bolts to. I will pay shipping for the CP(Should be about $12) See pics...

Could be a fun contest for some of you. The winner will receive the CP. If I decide to use 2 different pieces of artwork I will have to add another prize of equal value/use. (believe me...I have got ALOT of stuff in my parts room) ;D

Please reply here if you are interested. ;)

BTW: The marquee dimensions I need are 22.4"X 6.4"...the CP overlay is 22.4"X6.5"

Kay this is what I have so far for the marquee.

The actual marquee should be dark like this since there will be a light behind it.
