Anyone have a pic of one of these? I would like to see the difference between a used one and a new one. All used ones I see are always yelowed out.
 
I can take a pic of the NOS I have later after work.

okay thanks!! Are the whites really nice and bright on it? Nintendo's white plastics are the only ones that I have ever seen yellow from age for some reason. The T molding,Marquees,buttons, it's so weird.
 
Here's a nice before and after. ;)

Pretty sure they used a really bad inkjet for the originals that had no UV protection...?

Mine looks like that. I'm almost afraid to use it since it might yellow even in home use. My Dr. Mario is a screened flexi marquee with super bright whites and it is definitely used.
 
They usually look like they were pulled from a burning building.

That's one piece of artwork that I'd buy, even if I never own the actual cabinet.
 
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! That looks amazing!!!! Is that NOS,or a repro?

Repro. One that I had produced by a friend. But yeah, the originals are absolutely horrible. I think every NOS one I've seen is Orange and Brown...
 
I've seen a couple NOS ones including mine that aren't yellowed. They come up on here for sale every once in a while.

I wonder if some sort of UV spray would work in preventing the discoloration.

Ya know.
I had one for a while, it may have even been NOS because it was in such good shape, but that's besides the point.

The SMB marquee has to be the FUGLIEST marquee NINTENDO ever did.
It looks so random and plain and there's all this open space where nothing's going on.

Worst Ninty marquee EVER!!!

I have to agree with you. I hate this marquee. Love the HELL out of the game, but the marquee makes the cabinet look so plain compared to a Donkey Kong or Popeye marquee. It is like they forgot that you should be able to read the name.
