WTB: NOS or Repro Konami/Centuri's Circus Charlie Side Art

I know this is a stretch but I'd love to get my hands on a NOS set of Circus Charlie Side Art, or even a repro would be fine. Please let me know.

These are scans from my dedicated, but missing a chunk : http://www.sendspace.com/file/wgk16k

Somebody who used to post on here did a very limited run but for some reason was pissed at another member and wouldn't offer any of the extra to sell...I forget the story but I to would like to see this get done...its one of those games I'd like to add to collection but they are rare and hard to find..

I agree, and was able to snatch one up for 150.00 in rough condition.. I even have an additional spare pcb (just in case). This game is one of the leading reasons why I got into this hobby in the first place.

My story in short.. : I played circus charlie when I was younger in sleep away camp in the video game rec-room. And about I'd say 5 years ago found a way to replay it in MAME, and then realized how damn good I was with Gun.Smoke, built a dedicated one of those just to beat the world record... And now I'm starting to get more into original / dedicated machines. I finally tracked down a dedicated CC, and would like to properly restore it... And I'm sure it's going to be a challenge tracking down the side art!

He did give his art files to another collector so that they could be used for another run. I don't recall who he gave them to, but I do know the person who did the initial run and as a matter of fact he restored his CC at my place (took him over a year - on again off again). As I recall the repro art was digitally printed and not silk screened (nor was the original/NOS side art from my understanding).

Funny thing is I talked to him a few weeks ago, he no longer collects or restores, and lost his extra CC art while moving. He did offer me the restored CC, but I have no place for it right now.

perhaps he is nice enough to provide you with the artwork file , or would be willing to scan in the cabinet. I'll take all the help I can get on this rare gem!

I had just recently matched the front area paint code; BB-11.5 | MA-0.25 | OY 7.063 | WH-13.063 & RD-1

No, he denied me a long time ago. In fact, I think he may have been lying about actually having some in order to piss off a member he was feuding with who really wanted some.

If I ever get caught up on some of these other projects, I'll start the reproduction project....

Help me, Obi-Steve; you're my only hope!

if someone had a cabinet they were willing to scan I'd be much appreciated. I know there is one in Fun Spot NH. Would they let you scan it? Who can volunteer? Is Gary Vincent cool like that? Or who has this sitting on a shelf collecting dust ??
 
Hmmm. try this link:

i zipped it up. home server wasnt made for file sharing like this. i tried your site but it timed out twice.

try it again

I got it, too. It will be a help when I vectorize it.

Any chance of getting the wording from the other side, so I don't have to cut and rotate?
