I can read a few of the ghosts words on my new (used) Arcade High Score Board, but not all of them. So far, I have picked out:

Dinners
Jumbo Shrimp
Ribs
Chicken & Rib
Rib Eyed Steak
? Peach
Chilli
Stuffed Peppers
Stuffed Cabbage

Can you pick anything else out? How about the prices of the ones I got?

Meatloaf is under stuffed cabbage and the chicken is under meatloaf.

Edit: Oops I was wrong. I think it's Oven Fried Chicken.
 
I dont know how you guys can see anything on that pic. Unless my monitor is too dark?
 
I don't know if I'd post those scores if I were you...

That Pole Position is a damn good score, the rest...not so much :D

It'd be neat if you removed all the other letters and took another pic to see what else is on the menu board.
 
What do people search for on CL or elsewhere when looking for these? I have been looking CL for awhile for a decent "message board" "menu board" "menu", etc but have not come across a nice one.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to search for to find these types of things?

To be fair, these scores are just the best since I got the menu board, and in many cases, since I got HSS kits on my games. I've scored 140,000 on Mario Bros in the past, but wanted to start with fresh scores that were beatable. I've also scored 4x the current Moon Patrol high, but that was before my HSS kit was installed. My Satan's Hollow just started saving High Scores 3 weeks ago (when I installed a nicad battery), and I've only played it twice since then. So when I got this menu board, I walked up to each of my games (over a week's time), played them and logged whatever score I got, no matter how high or low. Since then, I have attempted to beat only a few of them. Currently, my Pole Position, Berzerk, Popeye, Galaxian and Centipede scores are the best I've done since I started collecting. I usually reserve my spare hobby time for restoring these machines.
 
Anyone have an online option to get a sign like this? It's a great idea and would be a perfect fit for anyone's home arcade.

Just today I was thinking about getting some of those clear acrylic signs for the gameroom. One for Atari, one for Sega. I should get one for midway, but their logo isn't $30 worth of cool.
