Let me know your thoughts on these two great options from The Arcade Game Factory and Arcademodup in the comments below!

[@martymcthirsty4961]

Just ordered from Arcade Mod Up Solely because of your review...I really would have preferred the other option but the website says they are sold out completely until July 26! I will say the LED Strip from Arcade Mod up looks sloppy and cheap and not having a Toggle switch really sucks....Oh well guess I will install it and wait on the other company for the 5 other cabs.

[@cooltoy]

Marty McThirsty glad to hear you picked one up. Ideally I think the perfect marquee would be something that is a bit of a hybrid between these two brands. Both have pros and cons, and if you combine some parts and options from each it’s awesome. Maybe one of the companies will tweak their products to further improve their final products.

[@pactenn08]

Man appreciate that video! Personally, I can handle the wait. That’ll be my option

[@cooltoy]

R. James Taylor II yea the wait is not bad as long as you know it going in. I order things from China all the time that take 120+ days to deliver, so a month lead time isn’t horrible at all.

[@pactenn08]

COOLTOY oh wow...I’ve heard getting items from China will make ya wait. I can’t wait for next batch of Arcade1up cabs come out. I know Star Wars is in November.

[@thedude2897]

I have both. One advantage Mod Up has is they give you true translight graphics where as Arcade Game Factory uses Arlon paper. Imo the translight is way better.

[@garypranzo9334]

I got the TMNT Gen3 one today. Took 6 weeks for delivery and it is perfect. I was concerned when I saw no holes for screws of dowels but it uses the top to snag onto and you just use 2 screws in original holes and It plugged right into my Dell 20" power connector that I think was originally for Dell speaker attachment., You have to transfer speakers from old marquee if you are using them. If you are using original PCB it comes with adapter to plug into the original PCB for power.

[@Grulkon]

Nice video. I think the toggle switch is a good addition.

[@cooltoy]

It's definitely a feature that I would prefer to have, rather than not

Great review on both. The only thing you missed really talking about is the top/bottom framing difference between the two. That and the led lighting still puts me willing to wait out Scott's 1 month wait time personally.

[@LukeDodge916]

Great video. Finally ordered my AGF MK2 marquee couple weeks ago, so I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival.

Does the ArcadeModUp marquee have the light bleed on the sides like the Arcade Game Factory marquee has?? I'm trying to come up with a cute for that side light, though it is minimal

[@cooltoy]

Luke Dodge yes both have minimal light bleed on the sides. Nothing a little electrical tape can’t help fix though

Just got mine in from arcade mod up, and it was packaged a hell of a lot better than in the video! people must have complained! I love it except for 2 things 1) the light bleed, and 2) there's no way to turn it off, but i guess that's the tradeoff for getting in 4 days?

[@levigutierrez7812]

Barry Johnson thanks! I’m still on the fence between that one and the Oasis Creation’s one

[@observer.b_e_l_l_i_s]

Think both of those for the price are good but there's a marquee kit by Oasis Creations eBay handle: bentonoasis that is premium quality. The artwork it comes with is fine but the marquee box itself is what won me over though it is rather costly however. Great video as always.

[@cooltoy]

Thee Parris Hill thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check that one out as well.

[@BSAElectronics702]

thanks for the info, sono looked into the guys listing, looks cool but very pricey $120+shipping Yikes! I read the whole description, he says in the instructions you have to drill several holes!? "to custom fit each build" at that price it's a deal breaker. I expect bolt in and go like the two reviewed here for half the price.

[@observer.b_e_l_l_i_s]

@@BSAElectronics702 Thats the thing, its a premium piece so its not going to be as plug and play because it looks, feels and is made like a 100% true arcade marquee which the original cabs were not made for. Different strokes different folks but figured id throw the recommendation out there since hes a connisuer of sorts and may want to fit a quality piece. Worth the coin if youve got it, i definitely dont regret it.

[@brandonhiggs88]

DIY retro arcade makes the best one in my opinion, zero light bleed and the have a wireless fob to control the brightness

[@Maizan24]

Although I don’t really have the space for Arcade 1 Up machines I wouldn’t mind arranging some of these marquees up in my man cave just as pieces of wall art.

[@cooltoy]

Maizan24 that would look pretty cool. You have to arrange an alternative power supply though since these only come with adapters to join up with the current Arcade1up 12volt power source

[@Maizan24]

COOLTOY maybe those led light strips or tape lights would work.

[@cooltoy]

they definitely could.

[@aaronmccall3849]

[@MrAllOut20]

Nice. I see what you did there ^_^

[@pdxmetal]

Modup looks good in my cabinet. One of the side screws wouldn't screw in spinning freely so I put in one of my own. Light bleed is present on each side and a little through the bottom of the bracket which I will need to figure out. LED strip is always on and cheap but looks fine. I'll be replacing it with a USB strip that'll turn on with the pc. Responsive and fast shipping/service for me. Gave me replacement plexi when my first wouldn't fit the stock screws. Pleased with the purchase, price should be $50 due to lack of toggle and cheap strip, but you pay for 2 day shipping. Better than waiting a month.

[@cooltoy]

great breakdown, thanks for sharing!

[@TboneTenEighties]

My marquee from Modup installed well. It sits flush on both sides they just simply needed to go all the way left and right with the artwork on the marquee. On mine there is a little gap on each side where the artwork stops letting light shine through the clear acrylic. The stock wood piece does stop a lot of the light bleed through the bottom but it does leave a thin strip of light through. (They advertise it as "NO" light bleed with their design...Not true smh). The led sticky strip isn't so bad imo...it's pretty bright and can be installed many ways to your liking. I Hate that turning on the cab doesn't turn the marquee on at the same time. Also the black plastic bar strips on the top and bottom are too thick and they cover up some of the artwork on the Centipede cab marquee. Not sure if it's like this with others. Like you said these should be no more than 50$ bucks tops...even with the faster shipping over the competition imo.

[@pdxmetal]

@@TboneTenEighties A few simple tweaks and my arcademodup marquees are doing fine. I've heard game factory is taking 6 weeks to ship now. This is unacceptable in today's 2 day shipping world.

[@TboneTenEighties]

@@pdxmetal I hear you. I just Wish Arcademodup would have made some of these simple tweaks before release. The issues are not really money costing. It just seems incomplete imo. If they improve then i will be back but until then i'm going elsewhere.

[@pdxmetal]

@@TboneTenEighties Game factory and arcademodup both have similar problems with light bleed and power. It is the nature of aftermarket marquees. The only marquee that turns on with the cabinet is new generation arcade1up machines that plug into the pcb box or a usb powered that plugs into a pi or pc. Arcade1up has stated they are going to start selling lit marquees and if they stay in line with their current pricing it will be far less than aftermarket. Example: Glen's updated spinner, awesome as it may be, is $50. Arcade1up's free spinning upgraded model is $16.99.

[@theredneckgamer8692]

Great video👍🏻

[@retrogameraaron4778]

Another thing the lit marquee for TMNT has going for it over the stock one...it says Konami on it instead of Nickelodeon. I'd almost get it just for that alone.

[@cooltoy]

[@nicklaham4515]

This was helpful, thanks. Will you be doing a video review on the stock/OEM marquee? I’m wondering how it would visually compare side by side because mine looks sort of washed out compared to these 3rd party ones. I’m wondering if it’s worth replacing with the aftermarket or perhaps I can modify my stock lit marquee to look more vibrant. Any thoughts?

[@cooltoy]

Nick LaHam the OEM lit marquees look washed out due to a lack luster print quality on the graphic. You can get a replacement translite graphic from the various 3rd part companies offering Arcade1Up graphics and have them print you a better quality graphic to replace the OEM graphic should you wish.

[@nicklaham4515]

COOLTOY Good to know, thanks! I was afraid to peel back the stock graphic and damage it without a replacement. Do the translite ones you refer to just peel and stick right on? Do you have any suggestions on who can provide that? Also, I noticed the plastic on the inside of my marquee is a milky/cloudy semi-translucent white plastic. I thought that might be to diffuse the LED lighting because the LEDs face the graphic head on, however that was why I thought maybe the graphic wasn’t looking super vibrant. Your video on the 3rd party marquees almost looked like they had clear plastic for the light to pass through. Was I seeing that right? I wonder if that makes a difference too?

[@DesignedDNA]

Great video as always! Anything MK II is always great! :)

[@cooltoy]

thanks man!

[@lacrossed55]

How do these "connect to your power supply"? Vid?

[@cooltoy]

it just daisy chains into the existing arcade1up power supply that goes from the wall outlet to the back of the lcd monitor on your existing cabinet. It's literally just plug and play.

[@lacrossed55]

@@cooltoy Gotcha

[@HIBRIDTHEORY1]

COOLTOY thank you for this video I’m ordering mines right now, but can you make a video showing how to connect this to the power supply?

[@pdxmetal]

(Updated: The holes in the plexi were too large. They sent me two new ones free of charge.) When I go to put the bottom piece on, the machine screws won't grab into the plexi. I think the A1UP original screws are too short as the bottom piece holes taper and don't allow the screw head to go beyond a certain point. As a result it doesn't reach to the bottom of these predrilled holes and won't grab. I must have an earlier generation of machines or something because you literally, lined the bottom piece up, screwed it in, and done. Not I.

[@chrisstory563]

I think Arcade 1 up could be testing the water with golden tee and star wars regarding their own light marque. I would like to see them do a refresh of wave 1 in the future with some improvements but I doubt they will since some of the titles from wave 1 will be re-package in cocktail, bar top and wall cade. I think wallcade might be a flop for a few reasons. it's restricted to 1 player and restricted to 2 games. also potential to not last very long. those alternative light up marque look pretty solid.

Question on the MK2 light-up from TheArcadeGameFactory. After installing, are you able to power it on by using the main on/off switch on the control panel?

older versions of the light up marquee for the gen 1 cabinets have a separate toggle switch to turn the marquee power on and off and do not power off or on with the main arcade power switch. The newer cabinets that have a 5V output on the PCB can hook up to the 3rd gen light up marquees from arcadegamefactory and power on and off with the cabinet.

I purchased the Arcademodup marquee (just installed it) and I thought with the splitter when turning on/off the power you get both power on/off for the cab and the marquee at the same time. Sucks that you have to unplug the cab to turn the marquee off SMFH! I don't like the side light bleed either. (gonna have to tape mine up). The marquee sits flush on both sides but the artwork doesn't seem to go all the way left and right..there is a tiny gap where the art stops and you get light bleed through the clear acrylic. They could have done better IMHO. Mine came with a broken plastic black border out of box and the other one was not centered. They had over a week and a half to get the replacements sent to me before x-mas but they didn't come until today. That sucked! I hope Arcade1Up release their light up marquees real soon. Personally I wont be purchasing any more marquees from Arcademodup.

[@cooltoy]

Mike Fawc yes, but you would have to either buy or print your own separate artwork

[@mikefawc22]

COOLTOY okay cool I wanted donkey Kong but didn’t see it as an option was curious how hard it would be

[@slippinjimmy6997]

Where does it plug into?

[@cooltoy]

A Y splitter adapter allows it to connect to the stock power supply

[@oscarorozco7891]

I just received my Light up Marquee from Arcade Mod up. I gotta be honest...I hate it! The LED Paper strip is the biggest complaint. It comes in a pack all jumbled up and you literally need to peel paper off the back and position it on the back of the marquee with the light facing AWAY from the marquee. It made my Pac Man cab look like crap! you can see the strip threw the Marquee because the background is primarily white so a shadow of the led strip is visible! #2 Yes the straight and NOT slanted portion where you connect the original top panel is an absolute PAIN in the Arse to get in! and it leaves a significant space in between because its NOT flush. In addition the printing quality on the marquee is lackluster! It looks as if its 300dpi and printed at Staples! I literally took it off put the original back on and put this crap back in the box. Waisted $60 if you ask me! Good review but misleading.I knew nothing about this company until I saw your review. This wasn't a good buy.

[@cooltoy]

The Last Club Emperor did you reach out to the company with your concerns? Did they provide any response or resolution to you?

[@thelastclubemperor2345]

@@cooltoy sure did. No reply thus far and my light already blew out. I took it out the box and figured since I paid 60 id use it. Welp....so far. No Go. Guess my 5 other cabs will have to wait for light up marquees from another company or Arcade1up

[@thelastclubemperor2345]

Purchased this 2 weeks ago from Arcademodup...and Already the Light is dead! I figured this may happen given the cheap paper thin light strip and NO on & Off switch keeping this thing on 24hrs. I emailed the company 4 days ago and no reply! Wow so disappointed you endorsed this item. Think I'll stick to the parts from the Original makers in the future

[@dustinpeterson9713]

Arcade game factory isn’t cheaper. You have to pay 10 shipping so both end up 60 anyways.

[@cooltoy]

Dustin Peterson prices have changed, this video is a little old

[@dustinpeterson9713]

Ya I know lmao. Even today arcade game factory changed price again and it’s up 5$ and its now 54$ plus shipping

[@CJBuzzy]

Arcade1Up will want $50 just in shipping lol

[@capcaw]

My ArcadeModUp MK2 Marquee font size was significantly smaller than than shown on their website. Do not recommend.

[@cooltoy]

Agreed, I've heard nothing but negative things about Arcademodup as a whole in the last 6 months

[@johnsonhazel270]

This one 1up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cabinet is not even available yet in the UK 😠

[@mikemitchell2772]

All the stuff I ordered from ArcadeModUp was overpriced and just plain junk! I could not believe the poor quality. The control deck was junk and the Galaga graphics were a joke! Move on to another vendor. TRUST ME!

[@cooltoy]

Mike Mitchell I recommenced diyretroarcade or 99livesarcade for control panels

[@darren2e]

The beard has gotta go. You look like a dad going thru a divorce.

[@cooltoy]

D Two lol trust me I hate it too. Oddly enough my wife requested it. I typically do it once a year for a few weeks only.
