SOLD - PARTS - Omega Race Cabaret Marquee
It is in decent shape, has some surface scratches, but no cracks (major). Has some minor hairline 'starring' around some of the screw holes. Ask questions or if you want different picture/angles. SOLD - $50 plus shipping U.S. only.

Looks like Ms psc cabaret style. I don't have that in my stash. Sorry.
<free bump>
The OR cabaret/mini gets no luv.
The marquee is unusual as it exists on the special curved plastic. I doubt anyone is going to repro that. OG would be equally difficult to find.
Same is true for the CPO. No one has repro'd that either. I wish someone competent would as I'd like one of those.
Anyway, good luck on your search for the marquee - as rare as an OR cockpit vent grill, I assume. LOL
And good luck to me on finding, one day, a nice CPO for my OR cabaret.

Well, if someone could start by reproing the ms pac cabaret marquee, which would probably be a lot more popular, the omega race one shouldn't be that hard to add later. I assume the screening has to be done before the plastic is bent though.
How bad is your CPO? I have a whole OR cabaret CP that I really need to dig out and post.<free bump>

It ain't that bad. But it sure would be nice to add a quality repro CPO to my collection should I change my mind and want to replace it.
Considering TOG seems to have all the repro OR artwork, surely Rich would want to add that to his archive. (LOL) Ha, I think TOG also did random curved PLEXI pieces "BITD", so he could be able to do the marquee too, I would think. Lack of demand might be a problem though ...
I'd be interested for sure
Mine is BAD
let
Me know what you come up with and price plz

The OR cabaret marquee is about 60% the height of the ms pac one.

I wish I knew how to successfully bend that stuff. I'd do it.

I made one once for a Ms Pac cabaret (with custom graphics for a Namco Classics Collection board). It was really hard! Getting it evenly heated up with a heat gun without warping was tough. Came out OK though. I did heat up one end a bit too much, resulting in a little warping and a few internal bubbles. Nothing a normal person would notice... but it bothered me!

That's kind of how I always figured it. In my mind, you put plexi on a metal break, add heat and slowly apply pressure until it starts to bend. That's how it works in my mind anyway.I made one once for a Ms Pac cabaret (with custom graphics for a Namco Classics Collection board). It was really hard!

Yeah, it sounds easy in theory. The hard part is evenly applying heat along the whole edge. It has to get quite hot! Practice on some scraps first.
