Says he'll likely will do the CPO too !!

I'm in, getting an extra Joust cab from Thwocker already and then all I need is the side-art.....which is easy enough to vector IMHO :P

Thx
Phil

Guys,

Rav already vectored the sideart.

Just like the marquee and bezel he did for this project too  :spaceace:

hm, looking at this picture I think mine could really use a new bezel  ::)

btw...the file @ vectorlib lacks the angled red bar on the right side of the instructions. Just make sure it's there before having them printed ;)

Impossible to find, Etienne  :-[

I already have black leathered t-molding at home but I haven't yet given up to find the original one.

I also considered removing a part of the existing molding (somewhere where it's not that obvious it is missing  ;) ) and fill the gap. Or I could remove it below the gap, close the gap so it is then moved towards the floor and then paint the edges black....when I looked at the picture I thought I should do something in the near future  ::)

I need a bezel for my euro robotron. Where do I sign up? I will prepay or do whatever is needed!

Thanks Oll, wasn't aware about these !!!

Like Luigi pointed out, there's a mistake in the bezel though that needs to be fixed before printing for sure, would be a waste not to:

Hmmm, never noticed the handwritten names and "'82" before on the marquee.....


Kinda cool !

Looks like Italian names and I saw Rav mentioned that the Euro/UK Joust and Robotron were built in Italy, so they're not UK but Euro Joust and Euro Robotron after all ;) ;)

Thorsten, is that there on your original marquee too, it does look like it on your picture but it's not detailed enough to see....

Hey guys,

Another thing I noticed is that the text area is brown colored on the AI file.

On Luigi's machine it looks to be red, if the picture is not tricking me it looks the same red as the band going around the bezel.

Thorsten, could you confirm this please ?

i have taken the red missing part and flipped it over to see if that is a easy fix, but it does not line up at all, so i guess there is more wrong with the Vectorlib file..

not to mention the little details that are not correct
and then i have not compared the font, but it was not outlined, and the file says its arial, but it looks strange to me
now i dont know the Original tekst, but it looks like its not correct

Anyway, i would think again to use this file... or repair it first..

I will take a detailed photo of the instructions to compare both the colour and the font. I also think the text in the vectorlib-file is not correct.

Good work Etienne, thanks !

I am quite positive that that font is way to modern for an 80's machine...

I have had the file from Vectro lib repaired,so to speak
Im awaiting an e-mail to show & confirm the changes.
Ones were all happy i will have a sample done,and again if we are all happy the production process will begin.
I dont want anything other than as close to the originals as possible.
I will endure to get everyones feedback before we roll.
cheers
phil

OK, I took two large pics.

LINK1 (http://www.thludwig.de/arcade/pics/IMG_8500.JPG) : the detailed instructions. IMHO the colour is far from brown....

LINK2 (http://www.thludwig.de/arcade/pics/IMG_8503.JPG) : the bezel complete. Some flakes....could really use a new one.


btw...my marquee also has the signs on the left side :)

Thanks for the pics Luigi - re you interested in trading the Joust Bezel in your pic for one of Phil's shiny new Robotron ones ?  You know you want another Robotron cab lol.
