Can't find this anywhere - really surprised it doesn't seem to be out there. :-\

Been trying to roll my own using the low-res stuff, but that's tough, and it's really going to end up being more like a recreation than a repro because the small details are definitely going to be off.

If I can get this, I'll create a hi-res file suitable for printing and share it with the community. Though honestly my skills in that area are average at best, so if someone else wants to take a crack at it, be my guest.

I'm ok with the scan being in pieces if your scanner isn't big enough, as long as there is nothing missing.

There are 2 versions of the marquee - a normal sized version used in the conversion kits and an oversized version used on the dedicated Mappy style cabinets. It's the normal sized version I'm after as shown below.

If you're a regular here (ie. you have at least a few hundred posts and you've regularly posted recently), I'll PayPal you the money and you can either upload the file to arcade art library or email it to me.

Otherwise, I would want the scan first before I send a relative unknown person on the internet money. ;)

Thanks! :cheers:

Nitz, if you're on KLOV, msg Jr.Pac. He might have it.

I've uploaded what you need to Dropbox - click the link below and you should get a 16Gb Photoshop file of a restored scan of the original marquee. I can't do a proper colour match on this one as I don't have an original to compare it with, but it'll get you close  :)

Link removed now that nitz has the file.
