Anyone know of a good source for artwork for Taito Lunar Rescue
- Marquee,
- Bezel (i think i have seen two variations , 1 vertical and 1 layed down at an angle)
- CPO,
- Side Art ?

I have a bezel and cpo. The bezel is in great shape, the cpo is a little worn. I also have the instruction sheet from inside the cabinet. I can send you pictures if you want to make an offer.. I think there is no side art? The cab these came out of is just a generic Taito blue and gray cab.
 
i have seen pics of three types of cabs with lunar rescue,
the generic blue style (gen 1?) style
lunar%20rescue%20gen%201%20style%20cab.jpg

conversions ? this is the cab style i have

the (gen 1 ?) vertical style cab from the UK:

it is the sideart from this cab that i am referring to

this one pictured on klov with the large TAITO logo (gen 2 cab ?),

it is the marquee/cpo/bezel from here that i am referring to. i have one of these marquees but it has 4 holes drilled in it for mounting (not me!) and it is very flaky. are your cpo and bezel like the one pictured immediately above ? love to see some pics of the ones you have

wow that's like a Space Invaders cab.. Here are some pics of my stuff.

Check out the cool alien guy with the blood on it's mouth! Seems really out of place for the game.

The third cab is the one I have, the same as the klov entry. It was an Arkanoid that I just took apart yesterday so it's funny you posted out this. The cab still had the bezel, CPO and instruction sheet from Lunar Rescue.

it's glass. Not sure how it would ship so far :/

I was hoping it may have been plexi, and i agree i dont like my chances of it arriving intact unless it was packed extrordinarily well. not to mention the weight!

Would you be willing to scan the bezel artwork ? i could have a cardboard panel printed from a scan to place behind glass, or see if this old game could do a screen print onto plexi.
 
i have been looking up methods to pack and protect glass for OS shipping and found a site that describes crating methods for glass panels.

i'll check out costs to crate and ship based on est weight
 
I had a generic Taito Space Chaser cab shell I picked up in a bulk deal that had the Lunar Rescue stickers/side art on it.

I've since trashed it but I cut out the parts with the side art and kept them for future scanning, so if you need the art I can get that for you. You'll need to get it vectorized though.

Wow! that is absolutley fantastic! i cannnot believe my luck this year with sideart samples for what i thought would be impossible to find/replicate artwork!

i would love scans of the sideart as pictured, both the LR sticker and the lander sticker! could you please scan it at 600dpi , photographic quality ? the files will end up very large so may need to ship on dvd, or, use one of the file transfer websites to temporarily put it up online for download...

Cheers, & LMK!

lunar rescue sideart files...

Thank you colin! got all the files and they look fantastic!

also looked back at the english cab i saw and the other smaller sideart pic looks to be the same ship, just smaller!

all i gotta do now is get either a scan of a bezel or an original bezel! dont suppose you have the original bezel on the cab as well ?

many thanks anyway colin!
 
I've never seen these cabs before, that artwork looks just like the landers in 2001.
 
.. Here are some pics of my stuff.

one of the guys from aussiearcade (GIBO - thanks buddy!) sent me a scan of the Lunar Rescue bezel Whoo Hoo! the scan just needs some touch up's

would be willing to take a couple of extra pics of your bezel to enable me to make accurate corrections ? the pic of the monster is great that'll help me fix the scan's bottom rhs corner! :D

many thanks for listening!
