New arrival: Zaccaria Scramble ^^

[rinus711]

Another nice arcade cabinet!

Zaccarias are indeed very beautiful, they turned them into works of art.

nice asset!

Wow, very low number with 0005!

Wow, very low number with 0005!

Well, 0005 is the serial number from the Belgian operator (Socomatic), not the factory one.

By the time I'm still stuck with that broken marquee...



... let's glue it to avoid things getting worse...   



..who know, I may have to go with that one for some times  ...



Curved marquee for sale anyone  ?

[DarthNuno]

While I'm looking for an other curved marquee, I'm just using a black cardboard paper to 'hide' the crack/block the white light from the tube...



Well, at least  it's doesn't too ugly in the dark...



Still looking for :

- curved marquee (can be an other game than Scramble)
- scramble bezel
- T-molding

Turned out really nice, congrats.
Hope we will find that marquee.

How about try to recreate that curved marquee?
I mean i guess they must have printed it on a flat peace of plastic and then formed it to this curved finish. Sadly, I have sold my curved marquee a year ago but if i remember, they are thinner than normal flat marquees. Maybe because its easier to bend it with heat then?

I have the same problem too, of making "blanks" for the curved marque for repro's.

Would need to make a new mold and then apply the same process as the semicircle marque:

When you take a look at this video, he even bent big plexiglass pieces --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x4TH75Pc0k

Still no original Scramble marquee in sight  :'(

During the wait...I'm trying this custom made marquee (not made by me), printed on a sheet of ...curved soft plastic? 



It looks not too bad   



This is a cleaver idea, but this is not a long term solution (the drawing on the sheet in not accurate, the marquee is flexible by hand,...)

So... still looking for an original marquee  :'(

[PaulSwan]

Looks nice still!

[Andreas_AUT]

not bad, indeed!

[Belike]

Looks really good, we will surely find an original one soon.

[Digimon]

looks reals nice.
Good creative approach.

maybe a bended sheetmetal in the original radius's in the left and right ends?

[PaulSwan]

This was the old one I did for the semicircle, eventually I'll do another for the later curved edge ones.
