I have made a LED mini marquee system and want to share.

This is SWEET! Great work! I'd be interested in a 6 slot set.

Would that be for the same type of cabinet as in the video?

These are the pcb for the leds inside each panel. I should have them next week and then the light guide plastics a few days later.

Im interested in a 4 slot set

I will get in touch with everyone who has shown interest in January. I will have all the parts by then so can work out costs and shipping.

Good stuff. Insterested in a 4 slot (w/ speakers) set

Very cool. I'd also be interested in a 4 slot.

I have two 2 slot Gold cabs that could use new panels - not sure if their setup is the same as a 2 slot Red cabinet or not. Would your 2 slot setup work with them do you know?

HI, can you post a picture of the area that the mini marquee sit.I am sure we could give it a try.

[leejsmith]

So I made up a set of panels now I have the parts, They are looking so good, I am super happy with them.

it's the front I need to see, the part with the el panels, I can see them in this picture, that's the el control board in the middle.

Sorry about that, it's all I had.

Here's a video of TNT with one. He shows the el panel display around 6:30.

That one will just have a big gap instead of the EL panels so will just need a new backing board and it will work no trouble.

So this is the latest version of the control board and a set of the new panels. I have enough parts to make up 100 panels and 25 control boards. I am sending this kit to a friend who is going to record the install into a 4 slot cabinet that does not have the speakers in the top so is not a big red. He will show the mods needed to fit this behind the front marquee, but the test panel I sent to him just fit.I am also sending a kit to a big red cabinet so as soon as these are working I can then look at taking order's.

Hi, this looks great.

For a while I have been looking to make a stand alone 4 slot Marquee - think of it as just as large picture frame. So this might be nearer to what I want, although I will not need the pcb - the idea being to have all the panels on low illumination.

Is it possible to bypass the pcb and just plumb in a power supply direct to these panels?

Yes it just needs power between 8.5 and 12v, but I would say 8.5 and 9v is best and would also keep the leds cool. You could do the same thing with 12v led strip and some diffuser in front for a lot less.

Very interested in a tall-boy 4-slot version!

can you post a picture of your cab ?

This is the day I brought it home (12/23/17)...

I'm just now starting the restoration process. Two of the lights work but they're very dim (on the way out).

Can't even access my own photo yet so here's a Flickr link: https://flic.kr/p/DvkRZD (sorry if that's against the site rules, I'll go read them now).

If you could take some pictures with the front marquee cover up and also measure how much space is behind it with the el panels removed it would be a big help. I did have someone do this and he said there was 10mm between the front cover and the backing wood so it would be good to confirm this. I am sure this style of cab will have no trouble it just comes down to does it need the panels with the marquee holder or is there enough space for my panel and the original plastic marquee holder.

I'll get to this over the weekend. I was thinking about cutting out a completely new backing wood in order to screw the new panels down and I could modify the thickness of that board.... however, I will measure the current setup.

Personally, I like the option of new marquee holders that are part of the LED system. It seems like a cleaner solution.

if the space is 10mm I was just thinking they will be set back to far from the front so the old plastic holder would work better, but having to much space is a nice problem to have

I was going to type this all out but thought it would be confusing:
