Even so....


Etienne I think I am going to be very happy that you already did all this great work on the bezel :) The good thing is that now you didn't do all that work for just one copy ;)

Of course, the Japanese version is a bit different. These things are:

- Instead of two button holes, one "oval" sized joystick hole
- P1 and P2 buttons, I don't know yet how these are installed and if what hole they require.
- The "Berolini" note will have to be removed of course
- there is a copyright notice "1979 Namco" on the very right lower edge

Of course all of this you will see soon  ;D ;D ;D

It's also great to have an original around for color matching ;)

That is.....if you are willing to help me with this of course  ;D ;D ;D :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

Having the plexi made is a no brainer. I can go to the same company that did the great work on the Star Wars cockpit plexi's. They do all kind of plexi work like drilling etc.

One question, does the artwork glue from the back or do you have to put it on the front. If possible I'd really like from the back, at least it like that on the original...

ofcourse i will help  ;)

the backmounting is not a problem, its just is a bit more expensive because they have to laminate the backing with white.

i think i still have the invoice from bela's job so that should give a indication of the costs.

I choose the lazy way, gave it to the plexi maker company, they cut out and installed it also, I didn't want to destroy your brilliant work with my noob hands. ;D

That's the biggest problem about the bezel for sure....

i can also ask the plotterguys to cut it out like i wanted with the alustickers, but i think applying after a cutout is even more difficult..

although, if you use the wet method, it is adjustable  ;)
