I have a question for the Sega experts.

I know the Pengo control panel looks very similar to the Zaxxon/Congo Bongo/Convert-a-game cabinet style.
Are they interchangeable?

For bonus points: Are the marquees the same size?

Thanks,

Neither are interchangeable. The pengo marquee is taller, and the Zaxxon control panel is deeper with a vertical bend at the bezel.

You could probably cut down a Zaxxon control panel, and make the slight bend at the bezel for Pengo.
You could also cut down a Pengo marquee and use it in your Zaxxon.
 
Good luck finding a real Pengo Control Panel - KLOV is littered with WTB threads for the Pengo CP. This would be a great CP to remake because I'm sure the demand is out there. Anyways, it took me approx 1 year and thats only because I gave up trying to locate one and just had the swiss cheese one I had professionally welded/repaired. It came out amazing. BTW, if anyone needs a Pengo CPO, I ordered 2 but only used one ($25 plus shipping). It was made by Arcade Overlays.
