[gyruss]

cool, thanks for the tip!

depending on what they have as material, i know they have vinyl, but thats not sufficient for cpo iyam

How is the material called that the US guys use for CPO's ?
I mean, if we can "score" that, it could be an option to try it out.

Hey guys that Material your looking for is a clear 3M layer which you transfer on to the vinyl.
Here is what you need:

3M 467MP 2Mil

3M 468MP 5Mil

Call 3M. Tell them you want a sample to try out before buying bulk. They will send you a sample for free.
I do it all the time.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to our president Ronald Reagan, I'm now the proud owner of a working Simpsons cab too (pics tomorrow).
...and guess what I badly need a CPO too 
So far we still haven't found a european print guy that can print on the right 3M material, haven't we?

[gyruss]

Don't think so, and the available files aren't correct either. I started measuring my bare cp for the right position of the figures, but put in hold because I was busy with other stuff. 

Maybe we should join forces, the president also needs one.

The graphic file is not a big problem, I can take care of it but I could never find a way to print on the right material.
...and of course it will be inkjet so not as sharp as silkscreening but still better looking than what we actually have.

And what about printing in the US and sharing shipping costs?

[Q*ris]

Depending on the price I'd be up for it.
Would one of you guys check on that while I work on the graphic file?

[gyruss]

Yes, sure, I already contacted some stores, ill dig up those emails tomorrow.

Here are some pics...
The price was nice and The Simpsons is the very last game I remember playing a lot with my arcade buddies.
So I had to have it because it represents the end of the cycle for me  (my very first arcade game memory being killer shark, I'm still badly after that particular one btw).
The theme is so cool (The Simpsons = the 90's), it's easy, fun and we could play with 4 players at the same time and cooperate (for instance Bart on Homer's shoulders).
The cab is not as nice as the US version imho but I'm happy to have it and don't really mind if it's a tad beaten.
We've already played it a lot since it entered the house, even girls enjoy it so it can stay in my hallway for the moment, what more could I ask?

...what more could I ask? 

answer: a brand new CPO!

nice. The knob on the stairs looks like a big Joystick  

I see you got exactly the same one, with the names MARGE HOMER spelled out on the buttons. Remember quarreling about it with ol' Gyruss if that shouldnt be images. Guess who was right
My CPO is a bit bad, but not as bad as yours. But if you will order a new one, I am in for it, to pay my share of costs.

About the US-version, I only know that one from images, never seen one in Holland or on Holiday. Only played this white one in the 90's. On the island of Terschelling, North of the Netherlands, there is still an arcade where you can play this cab, that one has a lot of cigarette buds.
