Hello everyone, I am still slowly restoring my Frogger cab and have just a couple of more questions to ask regarding cosmetic repair.

1. The Wood-grain laminate on my Frogger is missing on one side (which is painted black), and on the other side it suffers from major flaking. I have been looking all over the web and can not seem to find replacement laminate/contact paper that is big enough for an entire cabinet. So if anyone could point me to a source to buy the laminate that would be greatly appreciated!

2. (This is more of an ethics question than a repair question, but I could use some advice).
I recently purchased an NOS Willis Frogger CPO from ebay (only $15 shipped), but there is one problem. The cabinet my Frogger is in is not an original Frogger cab, so I would have to cut the CPO to fit. But, I don't know if I should do this because it does not seem quite right to tamper with a genuine NOS overlay. However, it is a Willis CPO, but I would like to hear some other people's opinions.

Thanks for your time,

Hyde
 
If your frogger was an original cab, the vinyl I think you want is called Kings walnut that used to be available from wico, of course they are no longer around. But maybe that little bit of info may help you track it down.

IMO: as for the willis overlay, it's not oem so do what ever makes your game look the way you want it.

If you want to redo the entire cab in new vinyl give vendors exchange in cleveland ohio a call. They no longer have the old presidential walnut for the pac man mini cabs but i think they still have 50" wide generic walnut

Thanks for the feedback, I just found some pics of "King's Walnut" and it looks perfect. I'll do my best to try and track down a source to buy it from.
