Looking for the marquee (either just the art or the entire marquee assembly with the art applied) and the CPO (again, either just the art or the entire panel with the art already applied) for an Irish cabinet Millipede.

I'm having no luck here in the U.S. finding these; maybe a different story for you folks there in Europe?  I promise to overpay for them. :)

Try asking on UKVAC also, http://www.ukvac.com/, as there are folks who've done Euro artwork repro's for Atari cabs before.

Paul.

Hi guys,

I too have this cabinet here with very very poor art on the control panel and no marquee and would love the art.  In the 4 years I have owned this shell i have never seen it available.  The links you kindly provided are for the USA version of the cab which is very different.

Maybe if we can get a scan we can club together and get them printed ?

Best Regards,

Kev,

I know a man who has the cab (with the original marquee and side art), but don't be in a hurry  ;).

I'd certainly be in for that.

I grabbed the files Etienne linked to - I could certainly reconfigure Zorg's US-upright CPO file to fit to the Irish panel, and could finish vectoring the work-in-progress marquee art found there and then resize/configure that to fit to the Irish marquee layout, but of course those wouldn't be accurate reproductions of the original Irish versions.  My machine has no marquee art or CPO art so I have nothing on-hand to follow - "reproductions" from the US art certainly would look good (and be better than my no-art) but wouldn't be preferred.

Perhaps jcp will give us some more details regarding the "man who has a cab". :)

Yup, and also the same as Gravitar and Popeye.

For the Gravitar you'll have to ask Alpha1. Come to think of it Dig Dug is in the same cab too, and there are probably a couple more.

Oh, and here's Popeye. Yes, Atari Popeye with a HUGE Nintendo brand on there too....love it !



I don't believe anyone has actually seen one for real so, this might be vapor ware. If not, when you find one, you MUST hand it over to me right away !  ;D ;D ;D

Does Alpha1 have a Popeye Atari....man is my memory really running back so much ??

Alpha1 does have Gravi and Dig Dug.
Another dark corner in my mind says there's also a Tempest in this cab...but you can't trust my memory for sure ! :)

Actually, i have no idea if Alpha1 have a popeye in this cab, but that said - it would have been a good guess!
