Source for best Donkey Kong bezel Instruction card?
« on: January 24, 2009, 08:54:20 pm »
OK, I'm referring to the instruction card that goes horizontally under the bezel...

I got one from twistedquarter on eBay.  At first glance it appears nice.  Glossy, die cut etc.  It will do, but is there something better available?

The overall length of this new one is about 1/2" shorter.  The artwork is not exactly the same.  Colors are a little different.  I'm assuming all yellows in my original faded to white because there is no yellow on mine.

Searching some old posts, I found arcadeshop has them, but their lo-res photo appears to be about the same as the one I got from eBay except mine has a white boarder around the outer red boarder from the die cutting.

Mikes Arcade has a pdf of the thing but the artwork looks more like the repro from eBay that what was on my game, especially the width of the blue vertical lines and bold horizontal lines on the red girders.

So, am I missing anything here.  Does someone have a super nice vector version that is a high quality printing/screening or is what I got basically the same as what everyone is using for their restorations?

That's pretty clean.  It looks like exactly what I got from twistedquarter on ebay.  The blue lines are about double thickness and the white parabolas are all pixelated.  Maybe this is all that's available out there?
