I love how this looks. One thing that I noticed, and very minor detail...but whenever I cut a cardboard bezel for a game, I hate the bright white edge that is left on the seam. Have you ever thought about running a black sharpie along that edge to hide the white? Not a huge biggie though.

That bezel is adhesive backed vinyl and already stuck to tinted plexi. A piece of clear plexi will go over that.

I don't read. I just look at photos and pay a team of monkeys to write quippy remarks for me.

Pics of an upright for visual and color comparison (note the one I owned in the last 3 pics had a black kickplate):

I think the upright side art will work well with the cab profile actually:

Newly vinyled backdoor with freshly pained vent screens well hung:
Installed the light fixture and all wiring. Marquee lit up:
GNG all geared up and ready to play:
And the pathetic converted CP/CPO I'm still stuck with as I can't find a scan or vector file for the GNG CPO:
For now, I am gonna build a new CP and wrap it in the same purple vinyl I used on the sides. Should someone ever help me out with the CPO, I'll put that over the purple vinyl. Other minor details:
-Installed new 3-pronged grounded plug
-polished the old cord with steel wool and then armor all to revitalize and clean up the vinyl insulated cover. I reused it as it had no nicks, cuts or tears anywhere along it's 9 foot length. Just some scuffs and paint/bondo that was stuck to it in various places.

Permanently Banned for excessive trolling.
Love a conversion that's done well. Excellent.
I'll need to refer to this thread if I ever get around to finishing the conversion of my Trimline Jungle King / Hunt to Elevator Action (it was started by someone in the 80s; needs a custom-made EA CP and some other things).

That is so hot I want to keep it in a box under my bed.
Since you aren't having luck getting a scan of the CPO maybe you can make something out of this. I think someone has an original here.

Did you ever measure/model the cab so it could be reproduced???

And this is a good example of what a difference a ground plug can make. You can see the diagonal hum bars in the Karnov screen before I replaced the 2 prong plug with a 3 prong:

And a comparison shot of the 'original' hacked n cracked (but screened) Karnov marquee vs. the new ink jet GNG marquee from GOG:
Man, that looks so pretty. I can't wait to buy it from you!
