I am in the middle of restoring two gauntlet cabinets. One had all the art stripped and was converted to "V-Ball", the other is in very poor condition with the side-art spraypainted black. A previous owner attempted to remove the paint in a few spots with the expected terrible results.
I'm looking for good reproduction Gauntlet sideart that is actually available for sale. I read about some art by the user "JP1" here (and JP11 on another site) that seemed to be well-liked, but he won't reply to me, so I can only assume he does not wish to produce any more. Other sites like arcadeoverlays have them, but I have heard second (or third) hand that the quality is not very good. Certainly, my experience with the "we sell any artwork" sites has been something that looks like a laminated inkjet print with the wrong colors.
Any suggestions? I may be able to preserve a CPO (I purchased two Gauntlet control panels) but I need sideart, front art and a marquee.
Ideally, I would restore one as Gauntlet and one as Gauntlet II.
arcadeshop.com has a beautiful screen printed Gauntlet I marquee and front sticker. So I could be covered there.
I see on ebay the seller "marcus09999" out of Toronto sells a Gauntlet II marquee, but I think it is inkjet. I'd like to find someone who has purchased one.
But in any case my big problem is the sideart.
