MV25UP-0 Marquee & Base holder

[mob-z]

Gents,

I am in the process of restoring my 6 slot Candy Cab, and I am missing some parts which I have difficulty finding anywhere. I'm not sure if this the right place to post about this.

In any case, I am currently looking for the marquee and base holder for the MV25UP-0. I have attached some photos for reference (Photos are courtesy of BuddyC).

All I need is the dimensions of the base holder as we as the marquee, I would appreciate if someone can provide it. Alternatively, If someone can reproduce them I am happy to talk to them as well.

Thank you in advance.

I have one. I can try to make a drawing of the holder.

Is the last picture what you have currently?

 

[mob-z]

Nem, I would really appreciate your help .
The last picture is just from a google search.

 

[nem]

Oh, you're missing the whole marquee?

I can do some drawings of an original one.

 

[mob-z]

Exactly, the whole top part ia missing.
I would very much appreciate your help Nem, that would be super helpful . I will be able to replicate it all thr parts from my local shop.

I was able to secure the led light with the controller from a 3rd party.

I will post a link if anyone would be interested.

I thought I would have more time this weekend.

Here's a pic of mine with some measurements of the perspex.

The whole thing is 460mm tall.

Nem,

You are my hero! This is extremely helpful, I really appreciate your support on this .

Would you be able to do one small favor for me please.

Would you be able to take front and side view of the marquee holder and base? I've a attached photo for reference.

I can redraw them using CAD and share it later if anyone want to reproduce them.

Nem,

I am looking at the picture with the measurements, it seems that the width is longer than the height? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I can't tell the marquee's thickness, but I would assume it is around 4mm.

Thanks,

Would you be able to take front and side view of the marquee holder and base?

Sure, in two weeks.

I am looking at the picture with the measurements, it seems that the width is longer than the height?

The acrylic / top panel is 42cm wide and 38cm tall. If you include the bottom part (the housing for all of the hardware) the whole thing is 46cm tall.

In the picture it does look like it's wider than it is tall, but the picture lies. alas picture didn't lie, I lied

The top panel includes multiple layers. Altogether it's probably like 6 or 7mm thick. I can measure it if it's important to you.

Sounds good

The acrylic / top panel is 42cm wide and 48cm tall. If you include the bottom part (the housing for all of the hardware) the whole thing is 56cm tall.

That's all what I need, I just wanted to confirm the size because indeed the picture can be misleading.

The top panel includes multiple layers. Altogether it's probably like 6 or 7mm thick. I can measure it if it's important to you.

If you can do that I would really appreciate it. But I wouldn't stress on it. From your description it would seem that we are in the same ball park, so 1mm or 2mm wouldn't be an issue.

Hi Nem and Mob-z,

Nice to talk to you again
I am redrawing the marquee front piece for Mob-z, thank you for your measurements Nem! But I am afraid those are not 100% correct. At least when I scale the design to your measurement, it get stretches vertically. It looks much better if I reverse the width and height measurements, but still, I want to make 100% sure I have the exact measurements.

Can you please confirm the width and height of the black front plexi piece? Also included how far the bottom plexi piece goes inside the white metal frame please. If I have the exact width and height of the plexi piece I can redraw it accurately. So complete part, not only visible part.

I thick thickness is 4 mm for the front and 4 mm for the back plexi if I am correct?

Thanks in advance buddy!

 

[nem]

Right, I had made a typo. Height of the acrylic is 38cm, not 48cm. Overall height is 46cm.

Width is 42cm.

Overall thickness is 9.3mm, but that includes the 1.3mm thick steel plate.

Sorry about that. I updated the pic in my post.

 

[mob-z]

Thank you nem for the update!

Overall thickness is 9.3mm, but that includes the 1.3mm thick steel plate.

I didn't know that. Is the steel plate between the two acrylic pieces? or is it in the back?

 

[nem]

It's in the back.

I'll dismantle it over the weekend and shoot some pics.

 

[mob-z]

It's in the back.

I'll dismantle it over the weekend and shoot some pics.

Looking forward to this

Took me a bit longer, but as promised.

Here's the backing with the EL panels.



This is the piece that holds the marquees. It sits between the cover and the EL panels. It doesn't photograph great.



Finally, the cover which you've already seen.

 

[mob-z]

Took me a bit longer, but as promised.

And you delivered

Thank you nem for your time and effort, I really appreciate it! These pictures are more than enough to get an idea about the inner design of the EL Panel, and the size of the marquee (front and back), as well as their configuration.

Now, I will try to do a CAD/PDF file for the base and marquee holder from the pictures and take measurement from my Arcade.

I will share them here once I have finished it for anyone to make their own repo base and base holder.

Hi Nem, thank you for taking the time to dismantle and photograph the panels. I've attached a quick mockup for measurements.
Can you check this please and let me know the missing details? It's just, I need to reproduce it -exactly- or else it won't fit the metal holder and the EL-panel and nobody's happy

if possible you can also ship me the complete panels (front and back) and I'll reproduce them. Can give you something in return from my website.

Joeks,

I was also puzzled by this and was looking at it through the weekend.

It seems to me that the last part (extra acrylic layer) is a double acrylic. meaning, this is the part where it will be supported by the base itself, while the front (black) acrylic will slide from the top and only is secured by 2 screws from the top as well and rest on that extra layer. I have attached for you a reference pictures which I hope it makes sense.

 

[joeks]

Thank you for the images and explanation Mob-z! Good news, Nem shipped me his acrylic marquee, on its way as we speak. So I should be able to reproduce it soon!
