Anyone know where a guy can get some Star Castle side art and a control panel?

I have seen NOS willis' CPOs around and it actually is one of the nicest willis pieces I have seen since the artwork is inline with the bezel.

Your favorite Eldorado sales them.

I got one in the other day that was mint but the driver let it rub in the truck and messed the side up so now I have to strip it.
 
So whats the interest in some silkscreened repros of this one?
seems like it would be needed
orginals were screened direct to aluminum like SpaceInvaders correct?
pretty easy 3 color print

Any Star Castle art you make I would buy. :) I really want one, but they all have trashed art that I have seen.
 
How do they mont to the contol panel itself
maybe reverse screened on clear poly like a defeender?
with an adhesive back to apply?
anyone got any good pics of this one the ones on KLOV are pretty bad
this would be an easy one to do
 
I found this pic online and this dosnt look like clear plexi to me

this would be more like a thin clear piece of polycarbonate reverse screened with an adhesive back

a plex piece would be more like a donkey kong

This one looks like it might have plexi over it. It would explain the need for the retaining bars as well. Look at the Player 1 start and it looks like there is a crack through it. Maybe the one your showing had the plexi removed at some point. That would mean that it had plexi, but that the art was not on the plexi, but below it.

My Star Castle CP is almost perfect.

It looks like a screen-printed polycarbonate overlay with adhesive backing laid down over a rectangular flat wood slab - much like a SI or Defender CP slab.

There is a metal edge piece at the front edge, like a marquee bracket, and a Metal bracket piece at the top of the CP edge that covers the top edge of the CP and the bottom edge of the plexi bezel.

There is no smooth plexi over the overlay.

The overlay has a nearly (but not completely) smooth surface texture - not nearly as textured as the Williams overlays, but some.

Hope this helps.

no adhesive just silk screen on the back of polycarb.

here are some pics of mine off the machine. If you want it I can send it to you so you can do the mockups. I couldn't stand it anymore and used a mamemarque's sticker for now. My cab sucks so I would like to do a full restore if the control panel and side art are repro'ed. Otherwise I'll just keep my working ugly duckling the way it is.

Here are some pics


Also Rikitiki that pic you have is a rock ola version and the panel may be different. My cinematronics one has no adhesive at all and as you can see is held on with the buttons and screws top and bottom.

I have a NOS Star Castle overlay that I just put on my machine. I can take it off and mail it to you to use for your repros only if you do side art first and cut me a discount. Oh' yeah and of course get the overlay back in the same shape as you receive it, L.O.L. Let me know. I also have one piece of sideart that I pealed off a cabinet thats almost complete just a little dirty if you need it for color matching or the size.

I dont know what you have on your machine but it sure doesnt sound original. Would like to see a pic of it.

Mine looks just like this one. Silkscreened on the back just like DK or Defender. Mine even has the cig burns just like that.:mad:

I was planning on trying to sand mind down and polish it back up afterwords, but even after a lot of work, I doubt it would look that good.

Rikitiki, I have both a Star Castle and an Armor Attack just down the road from you if you need to scan anything.
