Anyone make a replacement control panel overlay for Gaplus?

[vindic8r]

Finally getting around to restoring this game. Whew!

Now that it's out and cleaned up, I'll soon have photos and measurements.

Any interest from anyone in recreating the bezel and or CPO? My bezel is ok, just a little flaking. But my CPO could use a refresh.

Make sure you clear coat the back of that bezel, because a little flaking becomes all flaked really fast.

People don't like that? It's BAD. ASS.

 

[ElectricDreamz]

agreed, i think the cabinet looks wicked ... 100x better than the original Galaga

I'm with you guys. It's the shiznit!!

My CPO is mostly there I may scan it.

If a run ever happens, I could use one. I have a fantastic looking cab, but the CP is a little rough.

One of my favorite games. Such awesome marquee and side art.

I can reproduce it.
Should be a cinch; it's just a grid pattern, correct?

 

[Azurden]

Agree... Awesome Cab. Sold mine to Buffett... Think I still have the PCB.

I have the bootleg purple galaga 3 cpo and plexi marquee that i'm going to install in a galaga cab that i picked up with a gaplus pcb setup in it. I have scans of the cpo if anyone wants it. I was surprised that i can't find any gaplus or galaga 3 repro artwork.

Not a grid:

That is mine, and in the photo it had paint on it which I have since cleaned off. I will snap a photo later. It is a black to tell gradient with red stripes with rectangles and player 1 & 2 symbols. Should be fairly easy to reproduce

That looks really simple, I could vector that in a few.
Mind taking a pic of the front of the panel as well?

The lines aren't the same distance apart Jr. They get closer together and the think lines get wider. And it all has to line up.

If not a scan, measurements will be necessary or it will be all wrong. And won't like up. You know how particular we collectors can be.

IIRC I have the hole layout for this this already on hand.
If a scan is available; great. But many of my pieces, including my Jr. Pac-Man art line for example were done solely from photographs warped into the correct dimensions.

Scan or not, this should be a cinch to duplicate even if going by proportions.
If something comes together... I will freely release the vector to anyone that needs it.

I don't think I would want a CPO made that way. No offense as you are very talented, there is just no way you could get it right. I will scan it and send the scans to Rich.

It has got to match the artwork behind the bezel and the bezel too:

 

[Tighe]

You can't have a smooth gradient on the CPO and a pattern on the rest of the cabinet.

 

[Jr. Pac]

Awesome... Thanks for those pix.

The halftone should be no problem, if that is what you mean.

 

[Tighe]

Awesome... Thanks for those pix.

You see it isn't so simple.

Looks exactly like I thought it would.
