Anyone Interested in Chuck-E-Cheese's Inventory Sticker?

Hello,

Quit a few years ago I bought a Ms. Pac-man cab from a gentlemen who had obtained it by ill-gotten-means from Chuck-E-Cheese. As you know, they did not sell off their games, they instead destroyed them and took a tax write off.

Anyway, it had the Property of Chuck-E-Cheese inventory sticker inside the cab (and back then I took a pic of it and posted it on BYOAC).

Today, upon working on my machine I noticed the sticker was beginning to peel, so instead of letting it eventually fall off and disintegrate in the bottom of the cab, I was able to remove it quite easily.

I was wondering if you guys would like a scan of it? Perhaps someone could reproduce it for posterity or as a novelty. Although it does have unique, machine specific numbers on it.

The other thing I was wondering is if any of you old timers on BYOAC happened to have archived that pic of it I posted back in the day...by any chance? I've lost the original pic. The reason I ask is that I had the cab stripped and in the back yard for a long time and so the sticker got sun-faded. I think it used to have a shining metallic surface like the back of it does. And I think it may have had some red, but I do not remember. The old pic would be a good reference.

Anyway. I'll scan the sticker and post it here for posterity, in case someone would like the file. It's what the company used back in the hey day of the 1980's inside their machines.
 
The scan far exceeds the acceptable size to post. The file is 5.83 MB. Any suggestions on how to post this?

Never knew Chuck-E-Cheese's was based out of Cali. We have had one a mile awayfrom me in PA since i was a Kid. Its changed alot since then, they no longer have the Animatronic theater show or the ball pit but there arcade games are still only a single 25 cent coin which isn't bad when my kid can spend a few hours on $20 bucks.

What part of PA? There was one up in Springfield that they just tore down and rebuilt a few years ago. Use to be a Celebration Station before that and from my opinion a lot better than CEC ever was.
 
You DO know, don't you... that posting this is going to get that mouse investigated by the Feds............... right?

IRS don't take too kindly to tax cheats.
 
I'd buy one of these Etienne if it had my info listed.

GAME: LEPRECHAUN
SERIAL NUMBER: 710087
CATALOGUE NUMBER: Make one up for me
ASSET NUMBER: Make one up for me
 
Made a start, adjusted the font a bit, and finished the text, now i need to tackle the logo, and the typewriter font, but i don't think thats a big deal ;)

Minor update, found the correct font for the data and the font used in the logo.

now only i need to vector the logo, adjust the size after i got the measurements, and it will be good to go.

Working on it ;)

Already sourced some pics to use, but if there is someone that has one of these cardboard cups and is willing to scan that, it would really help :rolleyes:

I bet if you repro'd these cups and sold them by the hundred you'd make good money.
 
Measurements:

The sticker is 76mm square (all four sides).

The logo is 22.5mm width by 25mm height at the apex (above CEC's head).
