I have many to choose from, but have narrowed it down to 3.

Joust/Stealth MW
TRON
Dedicated Pacman

Which would you choose and why? All 3 are in similar shape and have had a similar amount of work done to them. These are for me, so I will be taking extra care with them. I know that summer is half over, and the only game I finished since it started was Double Dragon. My last major restore, Moon Patrol, was completed early May! Holy shit. I need to get moving. It'd be nice to crank out all 3 before October, but with my wife and kids nearby, I doubt that will happen. Which one.
 
MW, bro. While TRON looks the best, you absolutley cannot beat the gameplay that the MW board brings to the table. Plus, a Joust cab is so fucking sick!

Joust.
 
I think you should do them in the order you listed them. Looks good to me. Especially if your keeping them. If selling, start with Tron so it will be nice for the Tron release.
 
Here I go again with the crazy suggestions... Joust with the European color scheme (on right):

Even if you don't like my kooky Euro side art idea, I still say Joust MW stealth. What Jow said...
 
Is that the same art that was used on Joust 2 cabs?

I like your style. And Jow, OTT, I like your moves. Joust is a great idea. I've seen at least 3 Pacs and 3 TRONs restored in the last year. When was the last time someone restored a Joust (with pictures) on KLOV?

Without seeing the cabinets themselves - I'll assume you mean a full on sand down, bondo, primer and paint job right? Hell your Phet so of course that's what you're doing.

Look at the money involved then let that be the deciding factor.
TRON ='s expensive
Joust and Pac are cheap enough stencil wise.

And I already have the stencils for both. The only repro part I lack on TRON is the new plastics. I have been collecting parts/repro artwork for 3 years on these 3 machines.

I would normally go with Joust but with the timing and all Tron is an easy choice. If all else fails, it would be a good time to sell that puppy to maximize profit.
 
Would love to see you Phedazzle us with a Joust restoration pictorial. Please don't MW the artwork aspect of the cab, keep the asphetics true.
