I wonder what one of those CSI UV lights would reveal on old arcade games, especially cockpit games? And would you want to know what the results were? Or are we better off NOT knowing the past lives of our games??
 
The reason I got to thinking about this is because yesterday I had to remove some kinda mystery spooge off of my Monaco GP cockpit- it had basically hardened to the consistency of super glue, and my best 'guess' on what it was, was that it was spit from someone who'd been chewing tobacco. It had that brownish haze to it. It's the only conclusion I could come to.

Rest assured I washed my hands about 20x yesterday, like some guy with OCD and tissue paper skin on their hands...
 
I've taken a black light to my games, the only thing that showed up were some cigarette burns on my Star Castle CP. No biggie.

Would that show 'everything' though? I just keep thinking about the scene in Taxi Driver, when DeNiro says that at the end of the night he has to "wipe off the seat"............ *shiver*
