Tonight I put together a DIY marquee for the Mame cabinet. I found a nice hi-res scan of a marquee and printed it out on the color laser printer at work. The colors are off, but it fills in the big void I had a the top of the cabinet and the backlight makes it look like a real arcade machine. All I have left is to get the glass (next payday) and then go thru everything and sanitize it. The wiring is a mess, the paint needs touching up, the control panel doesn't fit quite right, etc.
I have been playing Tempest every night, and I have to say that the original spinner kicks butt.
