I guess all I could find was a picture of one in a big blue cab. Is there any hi resolution images of the art work cp and inserts? So I can have someone print them.

All of the sites that sell repro art for cabs have the files, but I'm sure there's prob a public one if you look hard enough.
There's this but dunno if it's high enough resolution.

Thanks. The metal case was in rough shape tried polishing it and it didn't work out well. Just some old caliper paint I had laying around figured it would be good to have a chip resistant paint on it.
Was extremely surprised how fast my new Simms came in. Thanks again @Darksoft and @Mitsurugi .Two things on a side note. I came across a site that has over 600 cabinets in 3D models. So I was able to use those to draw up plans to build my own big blue dynamo cab. Second if anyone has use for 1-32mb simm and 1-64mb simm both currently untested. Pm me.

PM sent for those SIMM's. If you have the tools or want to commission a cabinet maker to build such a cab for you purposes, do it. With all these old building techniques used to build the arcade cabs of old, I always wonder how much sturdier cabs would be if they were built with today's modern techniques. Simple twist lock mounts sure do beat the crap out of the peg and glue combination.
I have the tools, I'm gonna try and give it a shot myself. More then likely will higher someone to do it after I get frustrated. It's weird there's just something about that blue dynamo cab that screams I need 3rd strike. Lol.
No doubt. I have 2 Gen 1 Big Blue's. 1 Gen 2 Q-sound Big Blue. I think I will bookend the Gen 1's around the Q-sound at my place. The Q-sound can be the centerpiece. Don't know how my plans will be foiled if I ever pick up another one
.Which one will you try to remake? I think the Gen 1 Big Blue's would be more difficult to remake. The front fluting is tough to put together. Also, the speaker grill is metal and has some slight bends to it. The Q-sound Big Blue's I feel are easier to remake. It is just a flat front wood kick plate. The speaker mount is wood. Even the grill housing is made of wood. There is very little metal at all. Modern fastening/building techniques could remove some of the weight of the build as well, and you would end up with an even sturdier cab that might even be modular.
I'd commission a cabinet maker if I had the dough.
Just found an example of this guy's Big Blue 3rd Strike marquee over on KLOV.
Simple and quite striking display for the game. I think I will emulate this. Probably add in the game characters in faded background silhouette.

still prefer the marquee with chun-li and alex. But that marquee has more impact.Just found an example of this guy's Big Blue 3rd Strike marquee over on KLOV.

This one
Might need a picture from you down the road on how the cp opens. That's the only part I'm kinda confused about.

Easy enough. Pick up this meter. Cheap highly functional. Will help you tremendously with your wiring.
So I found a big blue.
