It should be a Seimitsu plate of some sort, but the 2 mounting holes are 95-96mm apart, like the JLF-P-1S plate (and well too far apart for the current SS plates).
Can any of you assist with a part reference, or do you have some of these plates laying around I can purchase from you??
(A KOWAL universal plate converter isn't wide enough BTW).

Thankyou for looking.

It's a bespoke mounting plate made for the control panel in Neo cabinets.
 
Yeah it looks similar if not identical to what's called the NA plate, also used in Sega panels for Aero and Astro (ones with a Sega logo rather than "licensed by"). You can't buy these new, have to find an old Sega or SNK panel. The Sega 2L6B for the Astro is pretty common and usually comes with the plates- check YAJ.

Thankyou for the info, much appreciated.

I am hoping some of the arcade operators around here have some of these plates sitting in a box somewhere.

I will also create a WTB thread soon if I don't get any more info or leads.
 
I was working on getting repros of these made but never followed through. Maybe I'll revive that conversation.

Neo plate is 10mm deep, NA plate is 14mm. Mounting holes are the same.

EDIT: Both plates could be easily 3D printed. I could whip some designs up if needed.
 
Honest question about 3D prints - is the strength of the material likely to withstand general arcade (ab)use?
If yes, then very keen for any help on 3D print designs 👍
 
Should be fine, as long as it's taken into account. I added some extra thickness to it. I have a test print going now. I'll let you know later today.

Haha, should have known someone has already made one! @nnap

EDIT: here's mine

.stl attached. I made some changes to my original design, this is an updated one that I haven't yet printed, but it should be fine. Material thickness is 3mm, feels strong enough to me. Double checked with a caliper that the stick will sit at the exact same depth as with the original plate.
