So, not so long ago I bought a Phoenix cab, from Archer Maclean. Although the cab is in great condition, the original marquee isn´t (any longer). Because of it´s age it has deteriorated quite a bit:

and I guess I want another one, original if possible and in good condition. In a weak moment I bought a ´sticker´ replacement marquee from Archer, but well, that one is a laugh, to be honest. :D Judge for yourself:

And the repro CPO doesn´t also fit my quality standards. It´s undamaged, but the printjob is very flimsy done, text is very blurry and miles away from what it is supposed to look like (no, the photo´s are not unsharp, the CPO is.):

So, here is my trade deal. I have a few original marquees, in good condition. Hopefully someone is looking for them. Anyway, I want to trade any two of these marquees for a Phoenix CPO and a Phoenix marquee, both in good condition.

Thanks Bro, for the links. I did see the mylar marquee before, and it looks like a pretty good repro. Still , I prefer an original one, not too badly damaged. But if nothing shows up, then I will get these repro´s.
