Hi Everyone;
A kind stranger that I had never met before in my life reached out to me on Facebook, then came to my house to drop off an MV-ELA driver board. He went out of his way to look me up, and then went even further out of his way to come to my house to drop off something that he thought I would like and use. Truly an inspiration for the way life could be lived.

I feel like I owe it to the machine god to use these parts ASAP
I have a 2 slot MVS and a 4 slot MVS that now work thanks to @ack and @maki - would be great to get the MV-ELA + MV-ELC 1/2 working, and then add the MV-ELC 2/2 for a 4 game marquee. I am in no way interested in the LED version - it's an awesome technical achievement but if I'm going to play games on a 30 year old board I'm going to look at marquees on a 30 year old EL panel too!
The boards are quite simple (one side!) and I could probably reproduce it from pictures like this https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/neo-geo-mvs-fluorescent-or-el-panels.453690/. But before I do, just wanted to check that I was not replicating someone else's work.
Does anyone know if there are gerbers or etc for the MV-ELC 2/2?
I'd not I shall reproduce them myself and share them here
