Ok. Preliminary layout denotes that this is not ready. The dimensions are incorrect. The perimeter is good, but the NBA logo is stretched about 1/2" too tall compared to factory size and the entire top 15" or so are stretched too tall as well.
Basically, when you use the bottom of the NBA logo as a starting point for lining everything up, as you go upward, everything starts stretching and you end up with about 2" hanging over the top of the machine. Before this can be ready for sale from Rich, I need to take precise measurements of everything and send them over to him for re-positioning on the art file.
Too bad. The MK3 was perfect except for the contrast issues. Regardless, I went ahead and applied the art anyway. I had to do some cutting and splicing of the top portion to correct the massive over-hang along the top, so there is a seam (see pics below) where I figured the best place to do it would be. It still looks great! Just needs some dimension adjustments and we should be in business....
Before...(notice the slight fading at the bottom)
Test Layout...
New art applied...
Finally, Before and After....
The seam...
