Need help with Electrocoin Xenon CPO

[Podbod]

Hello,

I posted this over on mameworld (Was waiting for my ac.com forum activation) but I've had no luck in finding answers. Is anyone here able to help?

Many thanks if so!

Hello,

I've an Electrocoin Xenon (My exact cab can be seen here - http://www.podrasoft.com/arcade/cab.htm) that is missing any kind of CPO. I'm finally getting round to replacing the buttons and figured I should do the CPO at the same time.

I'm still not sure what design I should go for but wondered if anyone here knows if the original designs for the Xenons CP exist anywhere? I've had a look online and haven't managed to find anything so far. Are there any designs you think would go well with the colour scheme of the Xenon? (I love SF2T and have a SF2 Marquee but I think the Grey, yellow and purple of the CPO would clash horribly with the mostly black cab )

Or perhaps you've got experience of replacing the CPO on a Xenon (or one of the other Electocoin's that share the same panel). Was there anything you came across that complicated things? Do you have specific CPO dimensions that work really well or an example CPO file I could look at to build my own template if needed to send to http://www.gameongrafix.com/ ? Lastly, the Control panel is a kind of bobbled metal (you can just make this out in the link at the top of the post). I assume this is normal for this panel type? Will the CPO go over the top without adjustment or is this unusual and would you recommend some process of smoothing?

Cheers for any info/help you can provide.

Paul,

here's a link to a site of a Xenon restored to a SFII...

Here's another one to the Flyer of the Xenon showing the original CPO

As for a good copy of the original design I don't know of one, but the artwork for the CPO should be able to be reproduced.
Or you could use the SFII artwork but have the color scheme changed.

From what I could find on this cab, it looks like the CPO artwork goes right on top of it.
Just be sure to clean it really good removing any grease be putting a CPO on it.

Cheers. While I've no skills to replicate an original the project link has changed my mind about the sf2 grey yellow and purple on this style of cab! So maybe I'll just go with that.

Cheers for the help!
