Generic Atari Cab Found Under Tarp in Field and Repainted with Custom Artwork!
Ok, so last year sometime I found this free cab in a field. It was a Golf game, conversion in a generic cab. In fact, this cab was hard to pin down the history on- but it appears to be a factory conversion/modification of another Atari game, which I can't remember the name of. Whatever- no classic was harmed here. The game was dead, with water damage, rust, oh and the wooden bracket that held the monitor was rotten and the old monitor fell out. So I had several other projects at the time and already had a multi, so I began slow work on it last year. I moved, and had to sell all my games, but since I put so much time into this cab and it wasn't finished I couldn't really sell it or trash it. So it sat in the basement of my new place for most of this year. Well I have to make some extra cash for the holidays, so I'm finally finishing it. Yes, its going to be a multi, but I put a fuckload of time into the artwork and making the cab solid again.
I'll post what I've done so far, and update it as I finish it.
It's been a while since I've posted anything in here, so I thought it was about time.
