Title: Crazy Kong bezel broken
Post by: Belike on July 16, 2010, 03:24:44 AM
 :'( :'( :'(
Warning for all of you transporting cabs, my Crazy Kong's bezel wasn't fixed correct when it was loaded to the truck in Brussels, so it was broken to a million pieces. :-\
It was one of the most beautiful Zaccaria bezels ever made, so I'm totally sad. :'(
I know it has not too much chance, but if anybody has one, please contact me.

damn, that totally sucks! those glass items are always a pain in the a** to transport and obviously need to be secured / wrapped before shipping off. i hope you manage to find a replacement, bela, they do show up from time to time!

Oh nooooo!  :( I'll keep my eye open too.

It reminds me the missing Pleiads bezel (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=637.msg5074#msg5074) for Ully on his Spanish cab'.... chance was almost null to found one... but finally found it  ;) Keep the faith!

Isn't it possible to buy a repro? If so you could use that one until a original one drops by.

Arcade videogame collection lesson:

Bootleg=no reproduction artwork... ;D


Or maybe: Euro cab= no reproduction artwork ;D

Ah I see, although there must be a market for them. Maybe someone could scan it for you.

If robin wants to take it out of the cab, and he permits me to pass by, then i can bring the scanner (https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=1770.msg19262#msg19262), at least we have the scans then

I was not talking about today  ;D ;D

In a few weeks should be great, in that way i can help the arcade comunity with a scan of CK.
the cab is more than 20 years old , so a few weeks will not hurt i guess  :D

Great that you can make this happen robin!

Now only we need someone who knows AI, and wants to vectorise it
let me think, maybe i know somebody who can teach me the basics, then i only need time  ;)

Do you have a proper scanner Robin, if not you can use mine. I've seen the bezel (and the rest of the machine) and it looks really nice.

He's not kidding about too much stuff in his living room but I'm sure it will pay off in the end, the Pac will be brilliant judging on your current work and details attention !
