Sean over at MCS-Arcade is now doing panels and overlays:

As well as kits like this Progear set:

And Marquees:

Here is that marquee on my SF4 cab:

This guy is doing great work and I wanted to post up the new stuff he is doing. Don’t hesitate on contacting him through his site.

I browsed around the site and the prices look decent. Although he needs to update some stuff, hopefully he would have SSFIV or AE artwork soon, and have Vewlix sets as well.

I bookmarked this so hard

Hopefully I win my damned cab auction so I can have a reason to pick this up.

It’s between that and this guy:

He is actually working on Vewlix. Ive ordered a Vewlix also and would love panel choices.

A few questions for anyone that might know more about them or the products:

  • Do they sell marquee holders? I see the marquees themselves on the site, but couldn’t find the plastic holders.
  • What is implied for a “Sega cabinet type marquee holder”? Will this work for an Astro City cab like it does for a Net City or is the mounting area different? I don’t have a Net City around me to compare.
  • Has anyone tried their control panels? It doesn’t look like they use mounting brackets…any issues mounting a joystick? It was mentioned that the panel accepts “standard Seimitsu joystick plates” - what does that mean? Flat or S-shaped? Will it also work with Sanwa mounting plates?

I just saw a link to this website the other day in the trading outlet. Glad there’s a dedicated thread in tech talk now. I e-mailed him about viewlix panels, he said he’s working on it. CAN’T WAIT!

He doesn’t make marquee holders. This guy, Franco B does:
Arcade Otaku • Login Great forum but you will need to register to see that thread. He does great work though.

Naomi/Net City art is not the same size as Astro art. Astro art is square or like a A4 sheet. Naomi/Net City art is a lot bigger. Notice how big it is on my cab, posted above.

Sanwas and Seimitsus will both mount:

Cell: Thanks for the photos. Is the mounting height correct when mounting with the plate flush against the panel? If not, I guess it came with nuts to space it out, right?

Exacxtly. These panels are great.
