Be weary of using alcohol to clean the screen.

I was scared this effect would be permanent, but appears to have disappeared in the last couple hours, possibly capilary action pulled the liquid underneath and it has since started drying?
I also discovered a bug in Xmas 2014 where tapping Select to trigger the ROB strobe screen resets the game back to the select menu. At least it does this on AVS. Have not played yet on my NES. Toasters and blinky lights don't go together LOL! Not that ROB would work off an AVS / flat panel, but annoying I can't access this mode during play.
Also I hastily created a makeshift end label today at work using the company label maker, and trimmed it when I got home. I would really love a more permanent and professional solution though if anyone decides to create one. Perhaps one front label for top loaders and a different one for AVS console based on how the screen is oriented.
Just got mine in... and was disappointed by the lack of an end label! Nice job with this one.
I think I might grab this idea. Do you have the small image file. What kind of label maker do you have. Never did anything like this, but looks awkward on the shelf next to its brethren.
There is no image file.
I used a portable label maker at my job site to print the end label. It is a Brother brand (I don't know the model offhand), runs off aa batteries, and takes up to 24mm thermal ribbon cartridges. Basically you key text into the device then select font, style, and size. It also contains a variety of generic symbols. I put a "black text on red" cartridge into the label maker to print the custom decal. 12pt font, four lines (the upper three lines were intentionally left blank to offset the text). I trimmed the adhesive label with sissors when I got home.
FYI, the label maker is meant to be used strictly for business, so while I might get away with making an occasional one-off label for personal use, I can't just exploit company resources by printing off a bunch of custom end labels en masse. I hope that makes sense.
Edit: Here's the exact model I used at work. There are also some (much cheaper) current models available:
