Interest Reproduction Mario Bros Widebody Marquee and Bezels

I'm gauging interest in a run of Reproduction Mario Bros Widebody Marquees and Bezels. I currently have a graphics designer doing the scans and vector artwork. The time frame for this run to ship it 2 weeks from the close of the run.

If you are like me, you've been able to find a nice repro overlay for the control panel but when it comes to the marquee or bezel, you've been out of luck. So it boils down to finding a fairly clean set on Ebay or KLOV when someone is parting out.

The idea is to produce at least 25 of the marquees first and then at least 25 of the bezels. If you are interested in the run, please post in the thread. I will add you to the list. This is purely an interest thread at this point.

These will be silk screened on acrylic. Marquee is 7 colors printed in reverse on .118" thick clear and the bezel is 7 colors printed on the front side of .177" thick smoked acrylic.

Shipping will have to be calculated based upon your location. If I can, I will include shipping but I won't be able to determine that until I get real production costs back.

If they are a quality silk screened repro and some kind of limited one-time run, I'd take one of each.
 
Obviously, I will post pictures of the sample prior to doing the run and purchasing all of the acrylic. I will have to purchase the oversized silk screens to do the samples though. These are pretty wide parts.
 
These will be silk screened and color matched to exactly duplicate the originals as closely as possible. We've been silk screening for 17 years. We print on plastics everyday.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking to step on any toes with this run. Just want to get some nice brand spanking new parts for my widebody reproduction in progress. I'm a tad bit of a perfectionist and it bothers me that there are scratches that are not removable on my machines!!! :)

I have issues.
 
Yes. This is a limited one time run from us. We generally do work for motion picture industry but there's not always time to do personal runs like this. I'm taking advantage of some down time.
 
Holy crap! I was just scouring the earth for a set of these. I'm in for two sets of each. Will they match the original artwork? Everything I'm finding as far as repros are a little "off"...
 
These will be color matched to the originals. I'm using 4 sets of originals to a choose colors.

These will be beautiful.
 
The thickness issue is this....

Currently, smoked acrylic is available in .177" thick. The original bezel measures out to .163" thick.

The marquee, which is printed on clear, measures out to .118" thick which is an available thickness.

I think that .177" thick acrylic will work in the machines. I will test this tonight when I get home. .177" is the nominal measurement but cast acrylics vary slightly depending on heat and shrinkage.
 
Here is a question for you....Hopefully you are all familiar with the bezel of this game....

I'm looking at the bezel in my office and what I am considering the 7th color on the bezel is the satin black background fill. If any of you have the bezel handy, would you be so kind as to take a look at the background fill color on the bezel and tell me what color you see?

Are you in agreement that this color is satin black vs. the gloss black outline or do you see a very dark grey?
