I need the following:

- coin bucket
- coin door ( or someone local with refinishing expertise)

Does anyone sell the marquee overlay? How is that thing put together? Mine is terrible. Maybe also the speaker overlay? I need info on this.
 
You know you're asking for a picture of something I don't have, right? :)

According to the manual, it's Atari PN 38091-01. That's all I can tell you.

Yes, of course. But there is google, and I didn't know if you had a particular one in mind, as there are metal and plastic ones that will fit. We had a discussion recently (months ago) in another thread about them.

The manual shows the plastic one for P/N 38091-01. But the metal one should fit as well (A037491-01, in the Space Duel manual).

I just replaced one and the only place I found it was here and I got it quickly
http://www.arcadeshop.com/i/446/millipede-upright-marquee-overlay.htm

Its a wood/glass combo setup. Not extraordinarily difficult to replace but just needs a lot of prep work. There are plenty of threads on here about control panel overlay replacement.
This marquee is no different. Don't skimp on the cleaning and prep. Use some heat on the 180 degree returns and staple at the ends (you'll see where it is stapled when you remove the old one). Mine came out fantastic, but it was by far the most challenging "overlay" I have replaced. Good luck!

Oh definitely get the overlay from ArcadeShop. His is screenprinted. Any other alternative will be an inferior inkjet product.
 
+1 on the overlay comments. I did one on my Tempest, and it was a lot of work to do well.

Seriously, if you can just find an entire original replacement marquee for $70, the extra $20-30 over what just the overlay will cost you will be *well* worth the time and hassle saved.
