Howdy!
I picked up an MVS Cabinet with a 4-slot in it about 3 years ago, and just started getting serious about some restoration of the cabinet in the last week or so.
The control panel is down to bare metal, with light rust in places, and since the joysticks and buttons/microswitches are worn, I was planning on stripping it, beadblasting/sandblasting it, and repainting the thing.
In addition, prior to my purchase of the cabinet, someone busted up some of the MDF board surrounding the coin doors, so I'm replacing that entire panel of MDF, installing a new coin door and mechs, the whole deal.
This leads to a potential problem.
On the control panel, there's a hard plastic label affixed for the headphone jacks and the memory card port.
On the coin door panel, there's a hard plastic label affixed for the "LEFT PLAYER" and "RIGHT PLAYER" arrow-boxes.
I made a half-assed attempt to remove those labels, so I could re-affix them later, but I won't be able to get them off without ruining them. Besides, they're grimy/dirty, and don't seem to want to clean up well.
Is there any place that has any replacements for these, or does anyone have any digitized artwork of these, so that I could, at the very least, get a local sign shop to make me vinyl sticker replacements?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you!!
