POLL: Which of these two projects should I tackle?

(A) TAITO CAB

I've already installed a Taito Multigame board in it. Don't worry... I've left the original Elevator Action boardset in the cabinet as well as the original harness. It would take about 15-20 minutes to convert it back. I plan on leaving the cabinet as an "Elevator Action"... currently it's got green sides. I plan on going brown/tan to match the artwork. I've already received a set of Pr0k's Taito stencils, I just need to order some leather style T-Molding and go buy some paint. Basically what would need to be done is some bondo work, sanding, painting/stencling, and new T-Molding...

(B) ATARI SYSTEM 1 CAB

I originally thought I was going to just stick this bad boy between some other games and leave it as-is... but now that I have three kits for it (Indiana Jones, Marble Madness & Road Blasters), it's pretty much required that she gets the full restoration treatment. I'll need to buy some side art, black paint (screw going with vinyl...i hate vinyl!), and I already have some T-Molding (whether I go with stock black or possibly red... I have both). The cab would need some Bondo TLC, paint, then sideart and T-Molding. I could use a new Indiana Jones CPO too (Marble Madness and Road Blasters are both in good condition).

So... do I go (A) or (B)? (A) would be less expensive, but a little more work I think... (B) would be a little less work, but the side art itself is $140.00...

Oh wow, 2 games that I LOVE!!!! You can't choose between the two, it's time for a threesome or some tag team action. There's no other way to do it.
 
I think Atari system 1. Just knock that project out first to get yourself warmed up for the Tatio. :cool:
 
It would be nice if someone actually busted out with some actual PAINT COLORS other than "just guess" for the Taito cab....

I just ordered some System 1 side art from Darin... it looks like that will likely be my first project, though I am considering doing both at the same time (since I have to paint the front/insides of the Taito black anyway.)

PS: Phet... when you gunna get this combo?
