Astro City vs New Astro City Marquee/spearkers question

Post by vholfx »

Hello,

I have been trying forever to get an Astro City where I live but no luck (I have a NAC). I was able to get a gutted New Astro City though, it comes with no parts or wires, and no marquee/speakers panel.

So I was wondering if the Astro and New Astro share the exact same frame, so I could get an original or reproduction Astro City marquee. Does anyone know?

Thanks!

I'm in a similar situation and was wondering the same thing. I found a good deal on a reproduction Astro City marquee and will be testing it out in a few weeks -- I'll let you know how it goes!

It’s a pretty good fit but not perfect, you can see the gap up top - I’m not sure if this is because it’s a reproduction panel though, this one is from arcadeartshop.com

Oh...darn. From this picture it didn't look so curved at the top
