Tineye

If you take a picture of the artwork square on, tineye will do a pretty good job at identify it.

For example put this image in tineye searchbox:

Copy and paste this in (it is my Galaga)

Yeah man, for sure. It's pretty beat up in person, and part of the tmolding is nailed/screwed in every few inches (pretty nasty). It's not my cab but I'm thinking about trading for it just cause of the side art.

The CPO looks pretty cool too, how about a shot of it?

I'll try to remember to next time I see it or if I end up picking it up.

That's a pretty cool site, I'll try to get a better pic next time I'm over there.
 
I'll get a better shot for you and will post it here.

I do want to extend a big thanks to Hindered for helping me out post Cleveland road-trip.
 
Few more pics, including control panel. It's an Olympia cab, apparently from Italy by way of Canada...

Yeah that definitely looks similar. His didn't look that much worse than the one I have right now... difference is I'm stupid enough to try to save this one, I guess. :)
 
So, this thing is a mess. Cab needs work to stop from falling apart. AC wiring is a fire hazard and a mess. DC wiring harness is super hacked up. I think I'm going to gut it. redo all the wiring, and set it up for a 60 in 1 for my personal collection. The space theme of the art goes well with several games on the board. However, I'll need to pick up a marquee. Of the space-themed games on the board, which marquee do you think would look best with this art (assuming it fits)

Arkanoid
Galaga
Galaga 3
Galaxian
Gyruss
Juno First
Moon Cresta
Phoenix
Scramble
Space Panic
Time Pilot
Xevious
Zaxxon
Pleiads

Of these, I LIKE Galaga's the most, but the green doesn't really fit the rest of the side art.
 
How about stick with Olympia and use a Vega Marquee?

That's actually pretty bad-ass. I'd prefer to go with one of the games on the board, if possible, although the idea might grow on me. And, finding one might not be so simple hm?

The artwork is more consistent.

This one would go well:

Galaga would make it look like a hellcade. If anything I would make my own using the side art.

I agree, RE: Galaga. I like the marquee/font/everything about it, but it does not belong on this cab. You and I agree here.

Moon Cresta might be a pretty good fit.
