Title: Does anyone know what kind of marquee is suposed to go in this cabinet?
Post by: muell67 on October 06, 2005, 10:11:20 am

I have a super neo 29 and the marquee holder is different than any Ive ever seen before. The opening is roughly 4 1/2" x 16" so It will not fit a standard marquee. Has anyone ever seen this type of cabinet with a marquee this size? Ive seen a site that sells large neo geo marquees but I believe there for standard size cabinets so if I cut it down I would loose some of the wording.

Heres a pic.

Buy a couple of pieces of plexi to fit the opening and then just create yourself a custom sized NEO-GEO marquee to sandwich between them.

Ive already got a marquee I had printed to work with it. Im trying to find out what originally went there. Neo Geo must have made a marquee to fit it and Id like to find a pic of what they looked like.

The ones I've actually seen just had the artwork from the games, no Neo-Geo stuff. Like this one (top cabinet pic):

That makes sense. A row of mini marquees for the appropriate number of gmaes installed. I think I'd still do something custom if it were me.

yeah some of the super neo 29 had the marquees like that. There just like mine but the openings are a little taller and there are dividers. If I try to put the mini marquees in mine they are a little to big for the opening. I guess I will just stick with my custom marquee.

What does your marquee look like?

I've got the exact same cab, SNAKKE (SP?) did a custom neomame marquee for me but I've still not had it printed up.(too many projects, not enough money)

well I dont have any pics of it but its the neo geo logo with the yellow and blue neo geo in a black circle with the words neo geo in white following that. It was done on a blue background that doesnt match the blue on the cabinet so it doesnt look real good.

Do you have a pic of yours.
