I have learned thru this forum that the old Taito games each had their own color schemes. The old dead monitor was dated 1980 0r 1981 (had a broken neck). The cab is dated 1981. What Taito games during these years came with a black cab?
 
Qix was in 81 and was black and silver.

They would not have changed the Taito sticker with the date on the back of the cab would they?

What does this cabinet look like? Is it the same style as Qix or is it the older style? If it is like the Qix, they all had black on the front and different colors on the sides. You can get stencils from pr0k, so you can paint it any color combination your game requires. :)
 
It looks just like the qix cab but it had been painted over. There was no evidence of the original graphics on the side. The over spray in the cab was black. That is all I have to go on. I did sand it down to smooth out the paint and rough areas. It was turned into a bowl o rama with an atari Road Riot CP on the front of it.

I doubt it, but for me to check would involve moving a ton of shit piled around and on top of the cabinet. FWIW, I do remember seeing that someone repositioned the monitor from vertical to horizontal (which makes sense, really.)

Other than putting a generic overlay over the CP, it doesn't appear that any other modifications were done to it.
