I have a local manufacturing plant putting into production next week Taito repro control panels. All will be powdercoated in black. For those interested pm me with the style and quantities. Pricing on these will be $40 plus shipping. Styles available are Qix, Zookeeper, Elevator Action, Jungle King and Alpine Ski.
 
I have received quite a bit of respones to this. These panels will have the button & joystick holes cut in them as well as the carriage bolt holes.
 
Awesome news! You might want to get them coated in white as most if not all repro cpos are thin and the graphics - especially light colors - will be darker and muddy because the black will show right through. Also I've had a devil of a time applying cpos to powder coated surfaces. I completely switched over to painting them and will never powder coat again.

Powder is nice, but like fizgig said, some may prefer white paint or primer under some of the overlays. In addition, the original panels were bare metal I think, so if it would save significant money and effort for you, might want to consider bare metal.

Sheeeesh. Rookie.
You can powder coat in white too....

I'm not a cricket!! I have a lot on my plate. I'm doing the CPO, bezel and marquee. I could use a better marquee to scan though.

Can we get someone to do the art file so Alpine Ski overlays can be printed solvent inkjet style? Anyone?

*crickets*

Haha..actually I was not even referring to you. Yeah, you do sound busy.. If you do happen to get it done though, there will be interest!

Not that it helps now, but a couple of years ago, I sold a very nice Alpine Ski marquee, as I thought I'd never need it. Now, I have the game back, but it has a fair marquee. Nice marquees for these Taito games are few and far between.
 
Sunday bump. I will be giving the factory the quantity amounts to make Monday afternoon so any additional members interested in these shoot me a pm.
 
Just as an update on these, they should be done at the factory on Friday. I did have a few extra Qix and Zookeeper panels made if anyone is still interested.
 
Here is a picture of the Qix panel and Zookeeper panel.
