Mike A:
More like a shitina.
smass:
I actually kind of dig the sides and kickplate art.  Maybe keep those (assuming they can be cleaned up) and redo the rest to match...cp and marquee. 
Ian:
Yeah, changing the front and back original art wasn't even a thought. I couldn't recreate it if I wanted to. I could get the art package from This Old Game, but the original is a very thick formica/laminate. It feels like armor. I dig it totally. Magic eraser will work wonders on this art! I know it... It will get rid of all the sticker residue.

Right now I am debating an art package.

Space Raider

or

Snap Jack

The Snap Jack has great art, but I would have to drill a hole for at least one button as Snap jack is a Joystick only game. And I have a control panel on the way for Snap Jack and I am feeling guilty putting a hole in it. But that Artwork though.

Space Raider

smass:
I don't know - I think I prefer Space Raider - but both are interesting
Ian:
I took all the junk out of the cab... and I scrubbed one side of the machine with a magic eraser. I then took Novus 2 to it. It cleaned up well... but not good enough. Then I realized I don't have a Universal Cab... I have some knock off from Taiwan. So f*ck it, I am stripping this thing to bare wood and making it a universal cab! The insides will be ripped out (damn staples) and rebuilt to the specs of a Universal Cab.
