This is kinda weird guys but I signed up here in the hopes that some of you could help me where I'm failing with the arcade collecting community. About a year ago I got my 4P Xmen conversion and one of the things I picked up to swap in was the board for the Bucky 'O Hare arcade game. I found out that I liked playing this game awhole lot(it's dead fun) and now I'm trying to build a "Dedicated" one by finding a Konami cab to convert. My biggest problem(besides hunting the cab) is finding clean and detailed scans of the art so I can have it reprinted or NOS stuff I can use. I found this site in my search but I can't really use any of the photos since they aren't flat and pixelate easily when enlarged. The main thing I'm looking for is the control panel overlay since I got scans of the sideart and the marquee....which I sent to a guy who reprints stuff like that...
The dimensions would be nice too as I have no idea what those are...

I know a place that has a Cabinet. I've played through the whole thing several times (helps when your the manager with the Key). I'm not headed by that town until August 20th or something around there but keep me posted. If you haven't gotten any good shots by then maybe I can swing by there and get some good high quality shots.
Another option would be to send my the pixelated images you have and I can attempt to remaster them. You might get a faster turn around that way (may not look authentic though...)

This is the best I've been able to find by doing internet searches and it's on this site:  This is not really ideal for trying to print a reproduction as it's not flat and the photo is pretty low quality(also makes me wonder who's overlay that is?). Alot of the guys who do this for other games use an HQ scanner(most of the time it's handheld) and painstakingly piece together a full image then vector it to make the image scaleable. My project is a pretty long term affair so that's ok if you can pull this off. There was an NOS(new old stock) overlay that sold a couple of years ago(before I thought of this project) but I haven't seen one since. As for the game I've played all the way though to the toad's planet using my 4P Xmen cab but it was owning me so bad I didn't feel like throwing enough lives at it to beat the game. I'll do it eventually... |
