So I got this extra game today, and it was in a funny cabinet..
I went to a yard sale today and picked up an arcade machine for a good price.
It's a working Perfect Billards but it's in this oddly shaped cabinet, with extra bumps on it. The cab has been painted gloss black all over, but there are some scuffs that are showing a few spots of pink and red color beneath. Also, the cab had 2 small wheels on the back of it.
Now I'm new to this but I'm thinking "this must be an Atari cab" so when I get it home I check it over for any markings inside or out. None are left, whatever was the original game is long gone.
So I fire up the forums and start looking. I saw Mjenks' thread about his Food Fight and bingo! the shape is the same.
I was thinking of using this cab for a different game, maybe selling the Perfect billards boards, marquee and cp to whoever wanted a pool game.
So 2 questions:
1) How difficult is it to get some Food Fight boards?
2) what would be the best, most gentle way to get that black paint off and reveal the Food Fight glory beneath?
