Whoooa!  :o

Thanks a million, Etienne! You really go out of your way. Much appreciated!  :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

I think I will go with the vertical version first actually, since I don't have a vertical cab yet. When you're saying I need the horisontal version, do you mean because of the monitor setup inside the cab? Not showing in the pictures, but I have some some metal "extenders" for lack of better words, and these make it possible to do a vertical setup. I have, however, downloaded both your versions and noted the measurements so the future is open. :)

As for the material, is it just some thick but bendable black cardboard then, or does it have some sort of rubbery quality to it? Hard to tell from the pictures.

Youre welcome,

It is just ordinary cardboard, plain and simple  :D

Yeah, i was looking at the pics in page 1 of this thread and saw a horizontal mounted monitor.

Ok, Bela asked for a picture of the spoils of my German roadtrip, and although it has been sitting on my camera for some days I haven't had the time to post it here yet. The band I'm in is releasing an album these days, so there is a lot of rehearsing and gigging going on. Things will be quiteter in a couple of weeks though, unless it goes multi platinum. ;)

So, from the top there is the marquee from Laschek. He gave me another one as well, but the one pictured is the one in the best condition. Minor flaking in the corners, but nothing that I can't live with.
Then there is the NOS bezel that Luigi managed to source for me. As stated above, his efforts here were tremendous.
Then there is the control panel that Luigi gave me as a nice surprise when on location. As Etienne suspected, he was going to replace his new CK control panel with this one. Still just giving it to me like that just goes to show what a great guy he is.
And finally there are the stickers sent to me by Etienne. Very nice work as you would expect, and the dot above the i when it comes to finishing my cab.
Now if this isn't a testimony about how cool this commuinty is, I dunno. I haven't been here that long, but I love you all!  :-* ;D



As for progress, I have yet to obtain a usable scanner for the sideart. I put a bid on one, no luck. Hopefully I will find another one to bid on soon. I need to scan that side art!
One thing I might want to start to think about is what used to go in the bottom left corner on the bezel. As stated, I've never seen a Zac in the flesh before, so I have no idea. Did they use to have game instructions here or what?

Yes, that "window" is for an instruction card of the game that it has

perhaps you want the vectorfile that i have for the outline of the cabinet ?

Oh, yes please. Is it in that thread? If so I haven't noticed, which would be strange because I've been through that thread at least three times for inspiration and advice.

Cool stuff in good looking quality.

Maybe you can scan te CP?

I try to scan the marque in a couple of weeks.
Yesterday I've bought an HP Scanjet 4670 (20€);)
Searching Zaccaria Stuff: Fiiter Marquee, Zaxxon CPO, JumpBug CPO or CPO Repro

20€! That's cheap!  :shock:

I can scan the cp for you at work, no problem. Next week I will be on tour, but the week after I will send you the scan.
Mind you, I have in fact been thinking about vectorizing the cp anyway in order to tweak it and build a custom 2p cp for my festival next year, so if you want easy going you can wait for that.

Nice stuff, we have some instruction cards vectorized by Etienne for your bezel. ;)
The vectorized cpo would be great, it is also missing from mine.

Will this look right, do you think? It is the closest thing I can find to the original Zaccaria T-molding.

It looks silvery, but it says chrome.



i have the feeling it looks like high gloss chrome when installed on the cab...  :-\ :

Yeah, this is the closest existing match, but doesn't look to good imho. 8)
I would rather go for a simple black one, just my 2 cents.

Etienne, it says in the description the photo is not a good likeness of the chrome, shinier in real life  :)
just keeping an eye on things
