Would you mind describing the cabinet prep you did?
Great lineup there-
The Control panel was stripped down painted and overlay installed.. The sideart I had a tough choice..
Option #1. The machine was a factory Black Widow converted back to Gravitar when I got it.. My first plan was to use factory size sideart.. I could see exactly where the old Black Widow sideart was, there was still a residue line..
Option #2 was to strip cabinet to bare wood and install full size sideart..
Option number #3 was to clean cabinet and install full size Black Widow art over Gravitar art..
The cabinet was in very good shape, I had no wood repairs that needed to be done..
I chose option #3.. Here were my reasons.. All factory Black Widows came with Black Widow art installed over Gravitar art.. I wanted to follow the steps Atari did when they released the game..
Reason #1 that I went with full size art. There were a few scratches in the outer white areas that would not have been covered leaving, me having to find a way to fix those.
Reason #2 I went with fullsize. I have seen alot of posts on people installing the factory size art, and only one with fullsize. I measured using factory size art and residue lines on the cabinet. This gave me proper placement..
So I ended up with all areas covered looking nice and new, and near exact placement where atari installed the art.. And the bonus was the outer white areas look new too...
I was lucky enough to have a cabinet that was in such good shape.. I wont be this lucky with Quantum.. It will be a full strip down...
