Generation Marquee Basic Starter Kit for Arcade1up TMNT Style Cabinets.
History:
As an owner of several of these cabinets, I had a desire to equip them with backlit marquees, just as the vintage originals.
After viewing online modifications with inferior designs, damaged cabinets, and undesirable results, I set out to build my own.
One requirement I established before starting was to make it a simple remove-and-replace design, with the capability to easily restore the original marquee at any time, returning the cabinet back to “stock” condition.
I personally designed, engineered, and milled the marquee frame.

Generation Design
:
Arcade1up has changed the design of newly released cabinets (Fall 2019) from previously release Arcade1up cabinets to this point – Generation 1 (Fall 2018 releases) and Generation 2 (Spring 2019 releases).
The new Arcade1up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles style cabinet, 3
rd
Generation, features a screen panel angled at a great degree than earlier versions to allow room to accommodate speakers in the marquee cavity.
This newly designed marquee starter kit has been especially created for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle style cabinets, which also includes the Arcade1up Marvel Superheroes title as well.
Also, I have included several “VISUAL REFERENCE” photo(s) for illustrative purposes, and the item(s) in these photo(s) are NOT part of this listing.
Also, the orange prop strip seen in photos is used for photographic purposes and is not part of this listing as well.
I also have available Generations 1 & 2 starter marquee kits.
If you have any questions or are unsure of which starter kit marquee frame you need, please message me and I will be happy to advise.
Purpose:
After manufacturing and listing several titles for purchase, I had many inquiries regarding custom designs, colors, and modifications.
I have also become aware of the resourceful, innovative, and creative fans of the Arcade1up games, and their desire to personalize and accessorize their systems.
This starter kit is for those who desire to have the millwork already completed but can and want to do the finish work themselves.
It includes the unfinished frame, reflector, pair of T-nuts and screws, plexiglass insert and installation booklet.
The buyer can then personalize the unit to their own specifications – frame color, marquee art, type of light source to use and power management for that light source.
This provides an affordable way to get started with lighting up your Arcade1up marquee.
I currently have a couple of complete marquee kits listed that can be viewed to give buyers a visual idea of how the marquee can be completed and accessorized.
The item in this listing has been wrapped, packed, boxed, and is ready for immediate shipping, and therefore, I will
not
be able to offer combined shipping.
Special note
: If you are uncomfortable, unwilling, or unable to use simple power and hand tools (electric drill & screwdriver), I would discourage you from purchasing this item, since it does require finish work and installation.
I will include an illustrated installation instruction booklet which includes some simple tips and insights I gained in building my earlier prototypes.
More details about installation are below.
What is included
:
One unfinished frame, reflector, pair of T-nuts and screws, plexiglass insert (on which marquee art can be applied), and installation booklet.
Note:
The blue “haze” of the plexiglass is from the protective film found on both sides.
Overview of Installation
(installation details are included in the installation booklet that will be included with this item):
To install, the cabinet will need to lay on its side and disassembled to the point when the original marquee was inserted.
It would be helpful to view the original assembly manual, if available.
If needed, a digital version of the original arcade manual can be found on the web.
Using the two holes found at the top of the bezel (screen) frame as a guide, several pilot holes will need to be located and marked on the new marquee.
The original screws that will be removed from this location will be reused during re-installation.
Several other holes will need to be drilled on the sides of this marquee, using the side panel holes as a template.
T nuts and screws are included with this listing to secure marquee to side panels.
No aligning dowel pegs are used in the side panels with the marquee frame.
Aligning and holding everything steady while marking drilling locations was the most challenging part of the installation process, and I learned the hard way to “take my time,” which I completed in a couple of hours.
Therefore, I did not pre-drill the marquee.
I found that I had to "custom fit" the marquee with each installation.
No Arcade1up cabinet(s) are included as part of this listing.
Since this item will need to be finished, self-installed, and involves buyer drilling into marquee, the buyer assumes ALL risk with the installation and there is NO REFUND and NO RETURN on this listing once buyer receives this item via USPS.
Buyer also assumes all responsibility for damage done to the marquee or to the buyer’s arcade during the installation process.
