The major woodwork is done - woo hoo! It has only taken a month to get to this point - I am rather amazed; I expected it to take longer. Tonight I re-assembled the rear panel, connected the coin door light to the 12v power supply, and created and installed the new marquee. I used a vector image from Eric Devaud's library, opened it in Adobe Illustrator, and printed it on Office Depot Window Decals for ink jet printers (#212-881, about $10 for 10 sheets). These are like static stickers, so it was easy to position the different pieces on the lucite. I printed the image in reverse, and backed it with 24# inkjet papaer. These are sandwiched between 2 layers of Lucite. The biggest problem is that you end up with bubbles, but they are not too bad - I think for the next version I will use transparencies instead. Next on the agenda is mounting the PC, creating the monitor bezel and ordering the rest of the controllers. Estimated time of completion is the end of May.
