WTB: Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters CP/CPO/marquee/flyer

I doubt anyone will have one, but I seek a marquee and control panel for a dedicated Atari Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters. Just got one a week or so ago, and the marquee and control panel overlay are sunfaded as shit, marquee also has a small crack and another small chip). Also need a minty flyer. :D

Candidates would need to be in top notch shape. Tiny blemishes may be okay considering how badly faded these are, but fade aside they aren't that bad. Willing to pay an appropriate amount, I know these are rare items and it's worth a little extra $ to get this game in 'keeper' condition.

I'd even be willing to try a kit CPO, not sure but would guess it is a universal overlay. Not willing to go the inkjet route before anyone suggests it.

Thanks.


PS anyone reading this know if this game originally had leafs or micros? Could only find a kit manual online and it didn't specify.
 
I knew when I posted that I should have clarified: leaf or micro pushbuttons lol. Just wanna make sure these are not replacements.

And didn't Scott Evans pretty much clear out of stuff a long time ago? No sense in wasting his time. If anything my money would be on nash having some stuff squirreled away.

Pretty sure I will just be stuck with this thing as it is for the short term at least, but never hurts to ask.
 
Pretty sure it came with microswitches. Mine has them, and the one I played BITD had them as well. Congrats on picking up an awesome game, hope you get it back in beautiful shape.
 
Ok, figured they were stock. That's good since I wanted stock, but also was sort of hoping that would be microswitch. :D

And thanks, working on it right now. Already rebuilt the sticks, repainted the coin door, replaced the microswitches and PSU, stripped it most of the way down, and patched it up some. Next comes a bit of bracing on a minor front crack, more patching, a new back door, new molding, heavy duty leg leveler plates and feet, new paint and solid black vinyl, and that is probably about as far as I can take it.

I can't believe how some rube reinstalled the marquee though. With two really coarse wood screws at the top, and two like 3-4" wood screws str8 through the side of the cabinet, cracking the marquee wood and plexi. And somehow the two 3/4" furniture strips that are supposed to be on the marquee were holding the speaker panel in place from the underside? Fucking fail.
