Control Panel Scanned and stitched back together in Photoshop:

Random thought...you know what would look nice behind the marquee - If you used the multiple bulb setup that the Taito cabinet has, but had blue and white LEDs with a slight twinkling effect. It seems like that would look good with the ice theme of the marquee art.
 
Another thought..

I've always thought that it would be great if some of the Taito marquees had more interesting artwork, like Jungle King did. It appears that Alpine Ski could be improved, while technically still matching Taito artwork/design. The marquee would basically be the same, but with the letters/color/shading from the advertising flyer. Instead of plain white, you'd have shaded blue lettering with the snow on top:

There's this mysterious marquee that KLOV has in the database, it's a LOT more interesting than the common one, although I don't know where it comes from or if there are any better pictures available:

Yes, although i misplaced the one i have for scanning. I'll find it eventually but if anyone has a decent one where the flaking isn't effecting the logo/snow area that would help.


Put me in for a package when all is ready. Are you still going to do the marquee?
 
I do need some assistance. I'm building a game from parts. Can you and other Alpine Ski owners check your game and see if the Bezel stripes (3 blues and tan) line up with the control panel stripes when in the game? Maybe post up a pic of the front showing how close they are? The bezel artwork i have is off, I'm redoing it from scratch based on my actual bezel but it seems way off.

Close up below. If the original was off to begin with i can match it or i can make a CPO version where they line up.

Put me down for a set. If there's anything else I can do to help, let me know.

Thanks for doing this!!

Even if the original one was 'off' to begin with, I would make them lined up on the new stuff.

You could also swap up the colors on some of the bezels to serve as replacements for the Space Dungeon ones.

If some of the Taitos are the same, except for the colors, perhaps Rich might do tiny runs, or on demand, since the screens would be the same?
 
That's what I was thinking but I wanted to get a consensus.
Still need verification (photo of front). Anybody?

I know that my bezel is the wrong one. Just thought I'd show how it lines up.

I also noticed after measuring that the stripes are different widths - which I fixed on both pieces.
 
Man, I wish I would have seen this before I finished up my recent Space Dungeon thing. I lined up the CPO lines and just did my best to get it right. Of course, mine wasn't a real restore. I turned an old 10 Yard Fight into a nice ArcadeSD cabinet. (Please don't hate me, the 10 Yard Fight was completely SHOT and I wanted to use the Taito shape, and I liked the colors of Space Dungeon).

I tried forever to find the art I needed and never could get the right colors. Could never tell if that outside stripe was gray or white! Every single internet pic (including these) looks white sometimes and gray some others. I ended up just making it white. Was I right?

I lined up the stripes, too, which makes for a cleaner look, but which might not be authentic.

Oh, and I have an old original but unpopulated Alpine Ski control panel if anybody wants it.

I'll attach a pic of my cabinet here. I think it turned out nice. It was my first try at this sort of thing.
