Were there ever screened MultiPede marquees produced?

curious... I've seen some jpg art around in searches but no evidence of an actual marquee..

The Braze kit is awesome... this seems like it would be in decent demand.
 
Looks like there may be....

But honestly, I'd rather blow my brains out then replace my millipede marquee again. Brutal.

Saw that post... its pretty old...

I know what you mean on those marquees!!!! Friggin wooden glass overlay sticky wrapped up pain in the a$$!!!! I would want to build another and keep the original as is.... no way I would destroy it for something like this. I just think it would look nice with a cool mulitpede overlay.
 
What was so brutal about it?

1. Getting the old one off ... because its on wood makes it a real nasty mess... not like a metal control panel that can be doped up with stripper, scraped and such.
2. Wrapping the new one on... the glass has to be in place then the marquee has to be wrapped around the wood, onto the glass and back onto the wood...

Some folks don't think its a big deal... but if you are all a bit clumsy or if you try to do it in a hurry your going to have a total disaster on your hands. I've never made a mistake with one but stress out every time I do one... because if you f-up your out, there is no recovery.
 
There was a multipede marquee made for Centipede cabs. Can't remember if it was made by Phoenix Arcade or Arcade Renovations. Darin would know or you could search RGVAC.


Edit: Also, IIRC one sold on EBAY around October or early November.
 
This is the only one I've seen. I do not know if anybody carries it as a good print.

Yup that's the one I've seen floating around... If I had a choice... I would alter it a bit for the millipede cab... I would flip it so it reads millipede centipede and switch the millipede and centipede graphics too.

I wish artwork/printing were a part of my core competencies. I have no skills / talent here.

Oh well.

I screened 10 of them years ago. I dont even have one for myself and for the life of me I cant find a picture of it. Surely someone in here has one or at least a photo.
