Many years ago I was at the Cinematronics auction. Most of the things I bought from that auction are long since gone But I did find something a little stack of Cinematronics Space Ace Marquee. Sitting under a shelf. These are uninstalled so you will have to get your own plexiglass backing to stick them on. Yes they still are sticky in the back. Good old 468 Hi performance 3M adhesive

So if you want one of these orginal Space ace Marquee for $45 plus shipping let me know.

I been told that these were designed for the Dragon Lair game. The marquee does slope up at the ends.

check out the website.

To make sure this one will fit for what you want.

Thanks for looking

They sold Pallets of stuff near the end of the auction. These were in some of the Pallets I bought. There was a guy who got the pallet of Plexi glass. I remember him asking me If there was a way to bend them back straight. I think it was Barry Scott but Barry is no longer with us. The auction didn't do so well becuase the auctioner had a shill ( a Guy who was bidding up the prices) This upset most of the regulars and some walked aways from the auction becuase of that plus most didn't like the auctioneer. I was trying to buy a eletro mechincal heliocopter game. The bidding when up to 2k and I stop at my limit that when the other buyers told me about the guy who was bidding up the prices. Trust me I wasn't very happy and I did complain to someone from the factory. Sorry that was Barry Gott. Not Scott.

I also heard rumors of this auction where some people won a big fat stack of NOS Dragons Lair side art, grabbed about 5 sheets of them and then threw the rest in the garbage!! *sigh*
 
Thats not a rumor. I saw alot of stuff going to dumpsters.
If I only knew than what I knew now, You can thank the local san diego and Los angeles acrade people at that time why most of that stuff went to the dumpsters.

I still remember one guy offer to buy ony ten side arts peices for 15 cents a peices but he only wanted to but 10 peices. Now you tell me why would I drive any where for 1.50?
Most of the surplus guys at the time just sold them to thier customers for less than a few dollars a peice. I think guys at R and D eletronics sold them his at 10 or was it 5. Not so sure. I think there were some at Savon eletronics at one time. Most of these places have all gone belly up. I think Silicon salvage still has a few of them stuck to the wall. I know I am the one who put them up there when It use to rent out the place when it was a rack ball place. I stuck them on the wall Just to make sure they still where sticky at the time.

Dad says there still a few peices in his garage so when he remembers where. You might see more little peices popping up from time to time.
 
Those would fit the Dragon's lair type machine, and not the dedicated space ace, The dedicated space ace plexi is an inverted Dragon's lair shape marquee. The ends would slant downward if they were for the dedicated SA.
 
Yes these are the ones that slate up and No, I don't have the ones that stant down.
I think the factory converting Dragon lair machine to Space ace machine during their auction. I saw a row of 20 plus machines behind a tarped chain link wall at the time.

I don't think they were producing dedicated machines before the auction. I could be wrong. It has to be a good 20 years ago.
