Somebody here on the group has a site with a bunch of Willis
artwork (I don't recall, but a google search might show it).
Seems like most were CPOs, including Galaga.

I've seen it around online, don't recall where. It's all hideous IMO.

All that I've seen is heinously ugly. Here are a few I could find
quickly, but no Galaga.

I just uploaded the picture of willis Galaga cpo that I have for sale
on ebay.
It looks great is very nice but rolled shape and is thick quality.
Its my opinion that it looks better than original.
It has the directions printed in the white box.
Dont know if it shows to good in picture.

I've seen one CPO that was purple, white, and some other color. Looks
a lot like the Galagas diving in formation. I thought it would look
pretty nice on a Gaplus or Galaga 3 using Purple t-molding and the
repro galaga front sticker. Just a thought.

There are a lot of Willis cpos pictured on Mark Davidson's cpo page
(there's no Willis Galaga cpo though):

And the galaxian sideart is very nice as well. Looks like it belongs
on that machine. If memory serves.

Here's a new photo gallery list that should be fairly comprehensive of
old Willis control panel overlay artwork.

Hey All,
I actually like the purple galaga(2nd) one. If anyone has one
for a reasonable price drop me a line. As for the other willis CPOs
and art, some seem fairly nice and would look correct on a dedicated
cab. Granted most aren't as nice as the originals. But I am guessing
that Willis cpo's came out after originals ran out of stock but,
before exact repros became common place. So my guess is most of these
look better than a control panel spray painted flat black. Just a
thought.
