Weird how you don't see it at all on the primed picture, but it's so obvious when painted black.

That is exactly what I was thinking too. I've never had this problem before. Usually, I just sand flush, do a little bondo filling, prime, sand, and paint. I've done this dozens of times without this happening. It is very strange.Its kind of too late now, but I found sinking the plugs just a bit below the surface then filling the remaining void with bondo and sanding really helps hide them.
There's a Shakey's down here in Garden Grove I believe. When you're done restoring it, let's bring the game there and recreate the authentic experienceBesides it looking dirty and gross, it had the smell to match. Much of the smell I suspected was from the carpet (or what used to be carpet). But once I started disassembly, I found the source of some more nastiness.
I don't know if you spotted it from the video, But there was a menu in all that crap. I was really tempted not to touch it. But curiosity got the better of me. Turns out it is a 40 year old menu from Shakey's Pizza. I guess this game was in one of those locations. Interestingly enough, 2 of 3 locations are still in business.
