Title: Question regarding Midway cocktail light shields
Post by: lilchae on November 16, 2023, 05:48:24 pm

Does anyone have any knowledge of what Midway used for their control panel light shields? Not sure what material was used, the color (white or frosted maybe), or if they were translucent or not. I'm looking for something similar to the image below, which were used on Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man cocktail cabinets. My cabinet was a kit so the ones sold online (from Mikes Arcade) will not fit and I will need to have them custom cut.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks!

I just asked a sign shop for some acrylic used for backlit LED signs.

Thanks for the reply. I found something similar to what you were talking about that I think I'll go with.
