Thanks for the kind words, guys!
Ully: Indeed! EADS rules! I hope I can make it up to the guys involved sometime.
Belike: I will take some shots of the spoils asap. When I got home from .de I had the house full of visitors, so I didn't get around to anything else than just checking that the bezel and the marquees were ok. I forgot to mention that Luigi also was kind enough to give me his Star Splash control panel plexi which was in good condition, so the only thing I will be reproducing now is the side art. Thumbs up all the way for that, Luigi!
Muerto: It is indeed a Tron, yes. Had a brief go at it, and from what I could tell it was in decent condition as well. From an objective point of view, the gems of the RetroGames collection were the Tron, the SW upright in almost flawless condition and the Space Harrier cockpit which was also in good nick.
Laschek: Thank you even so!
Our meeting was very brief, and I wish I could have spent more time with you guys. It was kind of hard since the family with the baby were waiting for me, but I will be in Karlsruhe again so perhaps we could meet another time as well.
Etienne:
I think the Starsplash has black, and you can easy create that from black cardboard.
I Have one on my attic which i can measure and report the measurements here if you like.
Thank you so much, I would very much like those measurements! It will save me from a lot of trial and error. I'll just go with the black variant, so it should be easy to reproduce once I have your numbers.
