Before I start, let me say I'm NOT making any money on these! I just want to help those of you who are wanting to restore Star Wars uprights into Empire machines!
Okay? Here goes:
I tried dealing with a seller on eBay for a marquee about a month ago when he
practically STOLE FIVE MARQUEES from a dealer in Indiana. Wouldn't budge
from his $200+ price. That's partly what is driving this. I would like to
stick it to dealers charging huge prices! And I tried bidding on the same
marquee as well and decided that that was ridiculous when it went over $150.
I now have materials to go forward with reproducing the graphics overlays needed for an Empire Strikes Back machine. I haven't cost it out yet, but working in the business tells me that a high print run will be needed to make a set affordable. So, it all depends on the interest out there!
An Empire set would consist of the marquee overlay, controller
decal and two side logo decals. I think for quality replacements that
$100/set would be a fair price. I would like to sell the kits as a set for
a complete conversion.
