I purchased my arcade machine at an auction, and when I was taking it apart, and cleaning it, one of the things that I noticed was a white "cardboard" cover on the marquee.
It actually goes on the inside of the machine, behind the light. It basically stops the light from bleeding to the back of the machine, and focuses it all out through the marquee.
Unfrotunetly, I can't find it anymore!!
Anyone know what it's called and where I can find / buy it??

Probably just tagboard you can get at Target. Cut to size :)

Why couldn't you just make your own. It's just paper, right? Posterboard is like .80 a sheet. Fold that over a few times.

i used really thin black posterboard for that on mine, the light was showing thru the speakers and the glass over the monitor, cost me 1$ for 10 sheets at the local walgreens

I've seen people make reflectors out of Project board (scored to fold it) and either painted gloss-white or covered with foil.
