I recently picked this machine up on Ebay, and want to restore it. However, I would like to know what it could have been before it was turned into a block out. I am thinking it might have been either a Pac-Man, or Galaxian.

is their any serial tag on outside or inside the cabinet anywhere ? look under the control panel once it is opened to see if theirs been any alertations to the panel itself. lastly seeee if you can tell thro the paint on sides if theirs something underneath it
 
I wont be able to inspect the game until I pick it up on Wednesday. But I will definitely check to see if I can find any serial numbers or alterations. Thank you.
 
I would've thought Pac with the black coindoor. Never seen a factory Galaxian with black, always gray. What's the second lock for under the door?
 
I started dismantling everything, and this is what I was able to find. The serial numbers all match up, so it does appear to be authentic. Unfortunately the paint that was used to cover up the side art wasn't cheap latex. I was able to get some of the paint removed to uncover some of the side art, but I think it is too far gone to recover. What would be the best route to go as far as reproduction side art?
