Mappy Marquee repro... please support!!

Mappy marquee - Excellent Condition!!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3214922696&category=13718
and the price is already up to $76 dollars. The last "nice" Mappy
marquee went for more than $150!! So why is it that Darin
(www.phoenixarcade.com) can't seem to get the 25 people he needs to a
pre-order brand new Mappy marquees that are only going to cost $75?
We all know the quality of work that Darin does is first rate. The
Mappy CPO's that he made look amazing and if you ever intend to own a
Mappy, now is the time to get a CPO... Just in case.
We also all know how badly most Mappy Marquees have faded. I have 3
marquees, all of which ... well, quite frankly... suck. Heck, there
are at least 25 people on VAPS that have a Mappy machine (and I'm
still not on it... I'm just a bit of a procrastinator. ;-) and I'm
betting 75% of them have crummy marquees.
So, Please, please support Darin on this project and send him a
pre-order.
Thanks,
Jim - a Mappy owner who would love to see this unique game restored!
:-)
P.S. I have no relation to Darin or personal interest in
phoenixarcade.com. I hope I have not overstepped my bounds by
bringing this up, but I REALLY would like to see these repro'ed.

i am also looking for the front art.
the mouse and cat around the coin door.
i think that would be a cheap and easy repro.

I traveled 1700 miles just to drop off my $25 deposit to Darin for the Mappy
marquee!!!
Okay, well, I just happened to be in town...
But the point is the same...send in those deposits, folx!
I applied the Mappy CPO repro, and it looks great. After the marquee, it
would also be nice to have the art/decals around the coin door/above the
kick plate. Mine has never had any!

if we do the marquee, then we can look at the bezel and the side art with the
front panel characters. i assume this will all take time.
but if we dont do the marquees, then im done with any other mappy projects.
maybe another repro guy will do them

SOmeone might want to put a "fixed price" entry on eBay for this.
Describe the situation and see if he can get sign-ups.

While I may come off as partial, your marquee has quite a bit of fade
in areas, and the one I'm selling does not. Yours is better in the
paint dept, as mine has some minor flaws, most of which are in the
marquee bracket area, but mine has NO fading.
Just thought I'd point that out.

I cannot think of a polite way to put this, so my apologies in advance:
"No fading"???
If you look at nothing else, look at the house top. That's supposed to be
one colour (solid red), not a semi-graceful left to right wash from pink to
red. Goro (on the game representation in the back) is supposed to be in
colour, not nearly black-and white. The orange in your marquee (around the
cats' mouths, for example) is nearly entirely gone. Et cetera.
What you have here is a heavily faded marquee, quite the reverse of what your
auction text describes.
Here's a comparison between the one on auction and the best picture I actually
have of a Mappy marquee: http://users.rcn.com/odlin/mapmarq.jpg . The one on
top is the one on auction. The one on bottom is the picture from my files.
It has itself started to fade in the centre (most notably Mappy's left inner
ear), but it should serve to illustrate my point.
I'm utterly flabbergasted, John; you're an intelligent, thoughtful person.
I am hard pressed to believe you actually wrote the text of your auction and
"looks virtually NOS" above.

Upon looking at your auction again, I note that you claim no fading.
That is not true. Compare yours to the one I am selling. Yours has a
TON of fading down the middle, especially as evidenced by the border
around the art, the cats in the middle, etc. Also, the A in Mappy on
yours, as well as Mappy's ears and nose are badly faded.
Yours might not be as badly faded as most I've seen, but it DOES have
fading. I don't think you should be claiming yours is more than it
is.
Compare the pics on both auctions and it's clear how much fading yours
has.

the top picture! Guess I've never seen a brand new one. Darin, put
me down for a preorder!
