Neo-Geo MV-ELD and MV-ELA reproduction or replacement (mini marquee EL panels)

[Mattroid]

Also worth contacting local print shops to see how much they would charge, it would mean you'd have to find and supply scans though.

Scans are not an issue for most games. Just check out my archives: http://www.arcadecrusade.com/gallery/v/minimarquees/

Lots of scans and customs in there

I would offer a print service from my site but I have yet to find a material that my printer can print on without the ink running that would be suitable. Maybe one day - I'll need to find a different printer I think.

Got my panels from glowhut. Quick question on the wires, can I re position them without damaging it?

 

[Mattroid]

I'd assume so - mine didn't come from GlowHut so I'm not sure how well they're connected - I know mine were pretty delicate since I had to cut the shrink wrap around the connections off. But for me, the wires were all long enough that I could position them in whatever way made the most sense, closest to the pads on the board, then just tape them on place where needed to keep them out the way as much as possible.

As an update to this, there's a solution now: http://www.neogeoledmarquee.info/

I don't have it and may not pick one up since I already replaced mine with EL panels, but still want to share it out here. I also invited the guy to post here as well (he may already be here?).

Pretty awesome. I replaced my EL panels and they're working great now, but more choices are always good.

Hi Everyone, My name is lee and I am the guy behind the new led mini marquee kits. I have worked on these for over a year with the guys at the neo=geo forums and it's installed and working in uprights, big reds and 6 slots.
it's about £100 for a basic 4 slot kit depending on what parts you have from the original EL parts.
