So I obtained a Centipede Cabaret machine. I've got it mostly working now and I'm wondering what to do about it.
The Atari Cabarets always seemed like the little cabinets that could to me. They were efficient and functional and that's what operators needed but I think they fall short. (insert rimshot here) For one, Atari seemed to cheap out on lighting for the majority of the cabs--that I'm gonna work on later. Second, I never much liked woodgrain sides on any cabaret. It's boring and 70s looking.
I ordered the reproduction side-art for the cabaret and I've seen one application where it is adhered directly to the woodgrain sides. But I would kind of prefer it to look more like its big brother.
This cabinet isn't a perfect specimen but it's in pretty good shape--there are a couple of dings in the sides that I could fill with wood putty. So I'm considering white oil-based semi-gloss enamel for the sides to get rid of the unsightly woodgrain.
I think it would be cooler than the decal on top of woodgrain.
Any opinions?
