Found or No Longer Wanted WTB/WTTF: Nintendo Mario Bros. Wide-Body "Bubble" Marquee Header

[Orlandu81]

Ok let's try this again in a new post. I am at the stage of collecting where I have 99.9% of what I want, but am just missing a couple of small bits to get to the 100%. One of those is an excellent condition bubble marquee for my Mario Bros. Wide Body.

Yes, I know there are very good repros out there but for this item, I only want original.

I have a bunch of neat Nintendo bits I can trade for this item (looking for it in excellent to near-mint condition only - essentially a 9/10 condition or higher), or can provide cold hard cash if this is preferred. Bounty offered: up to $400 for a minty one like in the picture

See below for a pic of the cab with the marquee I'm looking for, and a pic of my current cab with the standard marquee. Sorry if the first photo is anyone's personal picture, but I simply found it on reddit after googling for a minute.

I decided to add a bounty in hopes of getting things to move faster.

this is the way. anyone with a WTB thread you've bumped like a dozen times with no changes ... TAKE NOTE
any time i've added a proper bounty to a WTB item, it seems magically, the item has appeared as it would not without the bounty good luck!

@ElectricDreamz is right. It has already caught someone's attention...

Found a placeholder - thanks KLOV! This one is maybe a 7/10 condition wise, so I would still prefer one in nicer condition and I will leave my bounty up and if someone else has a nice one, my bounty offer stands!

Nope, that's a standard body not wide body.

Hi guys. I have both machines. I don't think the bubble with the two player feature is the determining factor. If the marquee doesn't have the ears showing of both Mario and Luigi, then it's the conversion and you will see the characters' ears with the widebody version.
What is not clear to me is why they had the bubble text on some versus the others. For the record, my conversion has the bubble and my widebody as well as an additional marquee I have that is wide have no bubble.
