I've got a blast city control panel, looking for 2 things...

Hiya, I've got this:

It's missing two things (besides screws, those have been added since this pic was taken!): a marquee (is that what it's called?) and a glass/plastic cover for it.

Where do I get these missing items? Specifically, for the marquee, I need one for VF3.

Ebay is your best bet. They will pop up randomly.

I'll keep my eyes peeled then. What's the proper terminology for the items?

Maybe try asking on one of the arcade forums, like KLOV, Arcade Otaku, or Shmups

If you don't need original - you can get the VF3 marquee easily - instead of glossy sticker paper, it'll just be regular paper - you'll never know under the glass.

For the actual glass cover any glass shop can cut that piece - that's all it is - it isn't anything special. It's 1/8" thick and when whatever the size is - probably 2.5" x 16" or so, just measure it out.

Or:
sell me the panel so I can build a supergun

You mean build the supergun straight into the control panel? That's a damn snazzy idea.

With the way the CP bolts onto the cab these are a very common supergun enclosure - they are (were, rather) mass produced this way for a while and can still be bought in the JP shops:
