Well, I don't know if this has happened to anyone else before so I thought I'd post it...
I started to srtip a Williams cab to restore a Joust.
An operator at some point had this cab painted black and had another game in it.
I could see it was previously a Joust by the raised outline of the Original Joust logo.
I started to strip the black paint - and it bubbled up within 5 seconds with Jasco Premium Remover! I was starting to unveil the former brown Joust artwork! Yea!
...but wait, I put on a 2nd coat of stripper and continued to scrape off the factory Joust paint... to unveil... Robotron 2084!! Whoa! I realize that this is the typical cab shape for Robotron, but.. it was previously a Joust.
Unfortunately there is too much physical damage to the cabinet to keep the artwork and I will continue on to restore this as a Joust. I'll be starting on the Bondo and wood filler tomorrow.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across a converted cab like this...
