Hi,

Does anyone have the artwork for the Zaccaria Phoenix Marquee?

Hey, that is my Phoenix on the pic, it was in Berlin in a Tatoo saloon.:)
I'm pretty sure, Thorsten (not Luigi) have some NOS for sale.

Costs were 60 Eur for Marquee and 25 Eur to UK shipping.  I thought that was expensive, what do you think? Maybe / Maybe not.

OK it's NOS, but if someone has the art I'll get it printed with Muddymusic on the next order and it will look perfect.

its expensive, but it is NOS

perhaps its a try to have the comunity transport it your way ?

we have succesfully did that in the past, that will save you the 25 shipping.

Maybe, good idea.  I've just asked again on availability, you are right it is NOS...do it right.

How much is to much :D

I think it is worth to buy it NOS, they are difficult to reproduce, because they are curved.

I've made contact again, awaiting a reply now.

I have not appreciated that this is a curved and printed plexi, you see the piece I took off my cabinet was curved plexi with a colour card insert that said SUPREME GAMES. Eurgh.

Should I do an unboxing video?    :)

I need to do the same as Rory on the metalwork, picked up the Brasso today, but I took the easy route on the wire wool, brought a grinding bit for the drill

Does your Phoenix have a Scramble bezel?
Title: Re: Phoenix Marquee
Post by: lesoleil70 on June 29, 2014, 09:39:21 PM
Yeah! ;D

But it's a quasar, not a phoenix  ;) (confused yet).....but try getting a quasar marquee.  The scramble bezel is in excellent condition, I can quite easily get a reproduction of the phoenix/quasar bezel.  I should seek out a phoenix CPO. To be honest I really like the scramble bezel, I thought about making it look like a Scramble from the front, but it would not match the side art, and I could not find a Marquee.  The seller I got this cabinet from really mixed things about.  

I'm not quite sure what CPO I have either on it at the moment, can you make it out from the picture?, but it's cracked so that needs replacing. This cabinet has not seen much love over the years.  

So, what I am doing is turning a quasar into a phoenix cabinet. The only feature I can see that tells me it's a quasar is a sticker inside the coin door.

When I do the unboxing video I'll show the cab again, but here it is from the day I collected it.

I scanned my Phoenix cpo last year, it is in Etienne's server. ;)

Just downloaded them.   One day this machine will have an identity, right now it has an identity crisis.

The Phoenix marquee is for sale....

Yes I know it's crazy, in 1 month!

Thanks to Bela I will soon have a Quasar Marquee, so I have no need for the beautiful Phoenix NOS one.

I paid €60 for the Marquee, and €25 to get it to me.(Germany to UK)

Shipping is shipping, item is in the UK.  I would like to get back close to what I paid for the Marquee, but I am open to sensible offers and trades.  

Pics above, if you need more please let me know.
