What a great offer! I'm kind of curious, why is it at this point? :cheers:

Seriously. This was THE project to watch back in the day. It was a great time to be alive.

Well, life finally got in the way of continuing this project. I was recently offered a job at Industrial Light and Magic which ended up being a nightmare of a relocation from Los Angeles to San Francisco. My wife had to sacrifice so much to make this happen, so I had to sacrifice as well. This cabinet has been in pieces for several years pending some major upgrades, and since then we have had to move it twice. It's always been the most difficult item to move. This time it would have had to go up a narrow set of stairs that turn 180 degrees. So much technology has changed since it was built, the form factor just didn't make sense any more. I decided that it was time to rethink and redesign. I'm already planning its replacement, which explains why I've salvaged all the guts. Most likely something along the lines of a wall mounted flat screen and a 4 player podium with some interchangeable elements, that can all be dismantled and fit into a hatchback. It's a sad day for sure but it brings some relief as well.
I really hope someone can salvage it and get some enjoyment from it before it turns to dust. Was a fun thing to design and build.

Sorry, I think I made a mistake by not putting this post in here first.
Free card that came out of a 15" elo touchscreen monitor. The screen touch sensors plugged into this card.
Don't know if it works or not, pretty sure it does though.
Free, you just pay postage.
Gonna keep it on here another week then it goes to recycle bin. (trying to get rid of some junk that is starting to making my house look like a hoarder lives here. LOL)
There are some pics in my original post:

Once upon a time many moons ago I had a marquee printed for my cab based on the Lucid design at a local print shop. They had some issues with printing and I ended up with the extra copies seen below.
The one on top has a few very minor micro scratches, one in the A of Arcade but you can't really see it once lit.
The one on the bottom has a minor ink smudge on the left side border likely not seen once mounted.
They are 28" x 10" and I will ship the sheet for free likely by rolling it up and stick in a tube for mailing.
Use them for a project, stick them on a wall, or ?
FREE to anyone that may have a use for them including shipping.
