@Rich:

Oh, awesome, you already have the pantone colors for the Dig Dug artwork. So right now, all you need information wise from Jim are the measurement(s) for any part of the overlay that wrap underneath the metal control panel.

Interesting note on the films, never would have thought they would have used the original upright films would have been used as a base since the two overlays are pretty different, the upright has a balanced overlay doesn’t it? The cabaret’s overlay looks just like the UR doesn’t it, only cut off on one side?

@Jeff

That would be no problem at all.

@Jim:

I may be able to get a scan of the Dig Dug cabaret bezel for you. I’ll get back to you when I can.

I think the guy who has this cabaret cabinet will probably want a copy of the vector file when you are done. Will that be a problem?

Do you have access to the Dig Dug cabaret bezel? That’s one that’s needed for the MAME artwork project.

I believe that these colors are identical to the upright which I have in my collection so color matching shouldnt be an issue. on the detail. Ill have to double check but I think its a little more visible on the larger upright cpos
but my guess when they were reduce in size for the new films the detail was too small to hold and burn to the screen for the smaller cabarets.
a common printing problem.
