...and back on this!

Still no news regarding the Return Of The Jedi 'Yoke Overlay' repro so far  :-\

I know Atarimania is in the same situation than me... looking for a yoke overlay (Oh, of course he IS the owner of the second ROTJ cab in the road trip  ::))!
He finally found a NOS one, and of course, he's ready to help me and of course ...the arcade community, because that overlay is not available elsewhere so far!
So let do the job ourself!  8)

He doesn't have an A3 scanner, so here's the two files he sent to me  :arrow:


Click on picture to d/l the high resolution version

I've used the auto merging tool in Photoshop, and here's the result  :arrow:

We even don't need to vector it I would say  ::)

...but ... if you notice, the second part (the down part) of the yoke overlay has not been scanned correctly, I mean it was not perfectly aligned while scanning.

Two options :

- Atarimania (Franck), can you rescan the second part, with a better alignment?
- Maybe some 'photoshop guys' can slightly rotate the second file & reassemble it perfectly?

Franck, can you also provide us the exact size of the overlay?

Anyway, let's the European guys -US- provide to the community the famous & long awaited Return Of The Jedi yoke overlay  ;)

This doesn't actually have any SW reference on it, and in general these pieces of artwork are "left alone" as Lucasfilm doesn't regard it as their property...

As soon as there are any SW characters involved, it could be a different story though...
