Does anyone have info on a spanish MC? The marquee says missile command, there is a logo on it that says "Sonic". Bezel is real glass with wording in spanish. Its not an OG MC cab however the sideart is painted, not a vinyl. I wasnt sure if these were mass produced or if It is just a conversion or bootleg.. I will try to get some pics.
 
Mike in N. English, Iowa has one of these. It looks like a Ms Pac cab but all the art is real MC artwork. The CP was almost identical, trackball and buttons were the same. The side art and bezel are silk screened. It was a licensed spanish version for Mexico, I think. The bezel is kinda unique. Love to see some pics...
 
small world, that is exactly the cab I was talking about, I'm going to pick it up from him real soon. here is a pic I have of the front, I can post more pics when I get it home.

That's IT! The artwork is too nice to be bootleg, it was licensed Atari. The CP is slightly different, with the start buttons on the right for some reason. One thing that concerned me with that particular cab was how faded the CP was and there's no replacement cpo, you will have to print your own.

Here are some more pics of the sideart. The sideart is scratched up, one side is better than the other. Cab is really solid, the glass bezel and marquee are in excellent condition. I wish the cab had a serial number or some more info on it but it doesn't. It looks like a Ms. Pac except for the bottom of the kick panel how its offset with the stainless steel kick plate. I hope to find more info on these cabs.

I really like the stainless steel coindoor, it should clean up nicely. The cab doesn't have a tmold slot, I'm trying to decide if I should cut a slot for new tmold or try to apply the same stuff thats on there. I would appreciate input on which type of tmold to use, and If I should use black or maybe a different color like red, orange or white..

Pretty unique item. I'd go slow if you really want to restore it. It's the only one I've ever seen or heard of and will probably take lots of research to get accurate info. The CP is the same dimentions but the start buttons are on the right. I supppose you could drill holes and put them back in the "original" position with a fresh CPO but that might ruin the "uniqueness".
