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...
