Marquee Mounting
Oldskool:
Hmmmmm.....
I may try using the aluminum trim to hold in my marquee, and then install t-molding over top of it.
If you were to cut off the molding "spine", then I'm sure that hot glue would hold it in place.

I'm sure this a common question but I've searched everywhere and can't find the answer.
What do you use to mount you marquee?
I know Happs sells a marquee mount but I am not ordering anything else from them and I assume their is some product I can find at Home depot or the like that will also work acceptably.
Thanks for your help.

Nothing beats a HAPP marquee retainer, and it's only $20 shipped.
www.happcontrols.com
If you order this item from Happ's website it will cost $12.05 + $30.00 shipping as they use UPS by default. However, if you call Happ at 888-BUY-HAPP (289-4277) and order it with USPS shipping it will only cost $20 total ! It is part # 49-1000-00 "Retainer for video game marquee"
I don't think there will ever be a superior homemade alternative
Dig it?

I stopped by the local hardware store last week and picked up a 6 foot piece of right angle aluminum for about $6. The piece I bought is 1/2" x1/16"wide on each side. They also sell bigger widths. It looks very much like the original retainers found on many games. The aluminum is very easy to cut and probably easy to paint.

That's exactly what I use in the 3/4" x 3/4" x 1/16" size. You are correct, when painted black it looks nearly identical to what is found on many older games. Check out this thread: http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=19166.
