I am MAME-ing a beat-up Taito cabinet (formerly a makeshift Shuuz cabinet) with Tron cabinet-inspired art. At the moment, I'm ready to install black t-molding on a black cabinet. But I'm starting to wonder if blue or light blue t-molding might look cooler.
So, when (if ever) did arcade cabinets start using non-black t-molding? This the colored t-molding just a thing we've done with our custom cabinets?
So far I've done the art free of techniques that did not exist in the early 80's (no Photoshop drop shadows, for example). Would anachronistic t-molding ruin the look?
