Title: Want: Defender sized bezel+marquee
Post by: slider2732 on October 16, 2006, 10:34:05 am

Currently installed are Shanghai Kid bezel and marquee in a Defender cab, but both arent too good.

The machine plays:
Defender
Centipede
Ataxx
The CombaTribes
Shanghai Kid

So, ideally, someone here has a plexi bezel or marquee of Defender (for "living in the USA waiting for residency, so living off UK bank overdraft" monies).
Don't need to be perfect and if the price is right, i won't mind having to touch up or repaint items.

Any help sourcing generic/better items, that would fit the dimensions of a Defender, would be appreciated.

Prices and info please.
Can pay by Paypal

 Located near Fargo, MN

Just thought i'd post a pic, so you know what i mean.
While i like the fact that the cab doesn't look boring and bland....it needs a better bezel at least.
I tried to clean off paint on the front of the bezel, and, the thinner ate through it. No amount of informed and better cleaning has got rid of the eaten area ! oops

*edit* pic of plexi added

I wonder which ones actually are of the same size ?


Willing to swap locally, for the following items:
Lets work something out..in your favour :)

Marquee
Battlezone (excellent)
Willow (perfect)
Champion Baseball II (excellent)
Space Attack (v good)

Arcade PCB's
Yie Ar Kung Fu PCB (perfect and played recently)
Karate Champ PCB (perfect and played recently)
Time Soldiers PCB (perfect JAMMA and played recently)
The Main Event (perfect JAMMA and played recently)
Paperboy PCB (all roms but incomplete)
Commando (complete but no power up)
Zaxxon (complete but untested...never got round to the pinouts)
Various other PCB's genuinely untested, while not being JAMMA and needing individual harness reconfig each time.

Pics on request.

The plexi is looking promising !

Due to no replies on here, i went out and bought a windshield repair kit from a $ store.
Tried it on the plexi and it seems to have worked great !

Just a tip to pass along :)



Still interested in a marquee and, if anyone has any other actual Defender items.
