Aracde1up Final Fight Backlit Light Up Marquee Kit for Arcade1up Cabinets

Description

Up for sale is an Aracde1up Final Fight Backlit Light Up Marquee Kit for Arcade1up Cabinets.
History:
As an owner of several of these cabinets, I had a desire to equip them with backlit marquees, just as the vintage originals.
After viewing online modifications with inferior designs, damaged cabinets, and undesirable results, I set out to build my own.
One requirement I established before starting was to make it a simple remove-and-replace design, with the capability to easily restore the original marquee at any time, returning the cabinet back to “stock” condition.
I personally designed, engineered, milled, and fabricated the entire marquee.
I also created the additional portions of the marquee graphics necessary to fill in the extra wide viewable area of the marquee design.
Sourced from a local supplier, the marquee graphic was printed on backlit film and applied to a sized piece of plexiglass.
Design Information
: This marquee frame/title is specifically designed for Generation 1 (Fall 2018 releases) and Generation 2 (Spring 2019 releases) Arcade1up cabinets.
Titles of these cabinets include Pac-Man, Galaga, Centipede, Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat II, Final Fight, Asteroids, Deluxe (12 in 1), Rampage, and Space Invaders.
I do have several other designs available.

Description:
Up for sale is an Arcade1up Final Fight Backlit Marquee Kit especially designed for Arcade1up Cabinets.
Special note
: If you are uncomfortable, unwilling, or unable to use simple power and hand tools (electric drill & screwdriver), I would discourage you from purchasing this item, since it does require some installation.
I will include an illustrated instruction booklet which includes some simple tips and insights I gained in building my earlier prototypes.
More details about installation are below.
Marquee Art Graphic:
The viewable area of my marquee design allows for artwork wider than the original marquee design, giving it a “letterbox” look.
Rather than “stretching” the original art image to fill the additional space or centering the artwork and “blacking out” the extra space on each side, the method utilized here is to fill in the areas left and right of the marquee with additional art.
This requires adding to the art, and I make every attempt to be faithful to the original artwork.
The marquee replaces the original marquee.
The marquee art graphic is affixed to a plexiglass panel that can be removed by sliding it out on the sides.
This panel is backlit via a reflective metal sheet with a strip of adhesive LED lights attached. The lights are powered using the Arcade1up power plug that is branched with an LED Y adapter that is INCLUDED with the purchase of this marquee.
The instructions explain how to branch the game power supply with this Y adapter to power the LED marquee lights.
The LED lights are controlled by a remote, which is also included.
The remote has multiple modes and adjustment levels.
Overview of Installation
(installation details are included in the installation booklet that will be included with this item):
To install, the cabinet will need to lay on its side, and disassembled to the point when the original marquee was inserted.
It would be helpful to view the original assembly manual, if available.
If needed, a digital version of the original arcade manual can be found on the web.
Using the two holes found at the top of the bezel (screen) frame as a guide, several pilot holes will need to be located and marked on the new marquee.
The original screws that will be removed from this location will be reused during re-installation.
Several other holes will need to be drilled on the sides of this marquee, using the side panel holes as a template.
T nuts and screws are included with this listing to secure marquee to side panels.
No aligning dowel pegs are used in the side panels with the lighted marquee.
Aligning and holding everything steady while marking drilling locations was the most challenging part of the installation process, and I learned the hard way to “take my time,” which I completed in a couple of hours.
Therefore, I did not pre-drill the marquee.
I found that I had to "custom fit" the marquee with each installation.
All marquee artwork was photographed utilizing an Arcade1up Centipede or Galaga game cabinets.
This was done to give buyers a visual of what the marquee art would look like post-installation.
The photo of the back top panel is intended to give a visualization of how the panel meets the rear cut angle of the marquee.
No Arcade1up cabinet(s) are included or are part of this listing.
Since this item will need to be self-installed and involves buyer drilling into marquee, the buyer assumes ALL risk with the installation and there is NO REFUND and NO RETURN on this listing once buyer receives this item via USPS.
Buyer also assumes all responsibility for damage done to the marquee or to the buyer’s arcade during the installation process.
