Does anyone sell repro control deck, screen bezel and instruction cards for Choplifter? I can't seem to find any.

Bio, was nice enough to provide high res scans of said items on one of his thread, but where do you go from there? Can i take the scans to a print shop localy?

how does that all work? I give them the pictures and tell them the dimensions I'm looking for? What sort of material should it be printed out on? All of the original control panels I've seen seem to be some sort of durable textured plastic.

Thanks for the help guys.
 
Choplifter never had a Bezel. It was in a Sega Series 1 cabinet along with Wonderboy, Ninja & other sega games.

All they had were instruction Cards.
You can have a bezel Made......

I bought an original dedicated Choplifter and will be doing a full restoration on it including all the artwork. Stay tuned.
 
Ha ha ha...
I had a gut feeling it'd be that one. (I tried looking for it again)
What a deal, & its all there...

Nice pick up!
 
My choplifter is unfortunately in a robotron/joust cab, so now I need to find a dedicated cab for it and turn the other cab back to joust or robotron.
 
Fiz, that's awesome.

Do you ever sell the artwork that you create for your cabs?



Bio, yea I know there isn't a dedicated choplifter control panel but the one you made up is what I'm looking for. Basically I'm trying to make the generic Sega style cab.
 
So has anyone made up some Sega 1 side art?

From what I've been told, it's a lot harder to replicate than it looks.
 
Yeah I do.

And that side art is a breeze compared to 90% of machines out there.
It's a grid with a logo.

Which is why it is SO odd that it doesn't exist anywhere for sale, you'd think it would be readily available.

I've heard more than 1 person mention that the Sega 1 side art is boring. I like it a lot personally. Then again, i like the generic Taito cabs too.
 
Good question - is anyone drawing it up already?

I just started on this - happy to give it to anyone who can give me cabinet measurements ;)

Can anyone start me off and fill in the gaps..?

choplifter control panel Mikonos repro

I restored and traced son vector elements for a repro in "Choplifter control panel".

For a perfect repro-print is necessary than some elements have mat silver color or vinyl.

Thanks, but that cpo was for the conversion kits, the dedicated cpo is different.

This panel is very interesting. In start buttons have "the smiles" too. tha background is mat silver metal. In repro-print is easy with same technique I used un "Gorf CPO":

For this drawing, well, is easy to redraw, but, will be better with more photos.


fizgig, can you redraw it?

Regards
 
Yes, I have a dedicated machine. It looks like a screen printed metal plate but its semi-transparent, almost like the colors were anodized. I'll scan it.
