This past weekend, a woman (whom I've dealt with on a few games in the past) sent me some pics of a few games she has available. Nothing spectacular...a converted Centipede-turned-Rampage, a SF Rush, a few others....I almost didn't take a second glance at the badly-converted Bad Dudes. That is, until I consulted my handy dandy arcade silhouette chart and found the same Midway profile for Bump 'n' Jump, Blueprint, Domino Man, Lazarian and Journey. Looking up each via Google Images, I think I may have found an original Journey cab. Here's a pic:
My thinking is that its a Journey, due to the profile curve and blue t-molding (which I figure they would have been too lazy to replace when they converted it). If it is, would it be worth it to do a full restore and convert it back to a Journey?
UPDATE: I went ahead and jumped on it...it's actually a Final Fight, not Bad Dudes. Aside from the bottom right corner, the cab's in decent shape. Once I get the rear door open, I'll know more about it. Stay tuned...
