Here's another light box I built for a dude up in Alaska (no, not Natey Boy). He had the signed marquee drop shipped to me (it arrived with no scratches that I can see, yeah!). It's been tough trying to obtain the official Kong off II side art file to actually finish it up, but it's close:

Can't get it from eXidy or Richie?

I tried PMing Richie, but that went unanswered for a few weeks before I realized he doesn't check PMs much. He finally got back to me with his phone number. I called him, thought we had it worked out, then emailed him and waited. I got no response for a few days so I emailed him again and he then got back to me and told me that he had a harddrive crash and only had the marquee file and the T-shirt graphic to send me. OldTymeToys was gonna try to wing it, but he's been busy and hasn't contacted me yet. My laptop is being repaired and not in my possession, so I can't vectorize it either. I've just been a victim of circumstance so far.
 
Well eXidy is the one who built the cabinets so he must have the art files.
 
Very cool. I think I prefer the lightbox over replacing a DK marquee in a real machine. It commemorates the event, without making your machine look unoriginal.

It's been a real treat seeing my signature in pics like this, thanks for sharing!

^ that's me haha

I didn't do too well, lol. Last place of the "featured" players. I was excited to be invited and participate, but when other players' first games were higher than my all-time personal best, I knew that I was simply outmatched.

Had a blast though, hope to get invited again!
 
nice job phetty boy
what sideart do you want?
Im pretty sure it was just reg DK sideart with the logo changed
or are you wanting what they did for the wraps
which just has the 1up and coors logo plastered all over it.
I helped throw some those designs together

The one that looks like DK side art, but has the different logos, different colors and has the mountains and ice/snow on it.
 
Nice job, Phet! I want to make one for my KO II marquee, but I'm torn on which color to use - red, light blue, or the darker blue of the DK II cabs. I'm leaning towards the darker DK II blue...
 
I made one of these a ways back for my chiller marquee and the time and attention needed is about right on what Phet has them priced at, well worth it to get it done right, took me a long time...looks simple but is not..
