Here's some local $2,500 inspiration. |

That is fantastically ugly. Wow. |

So I decided to purchase Szabo's side art. Reason being, it looks like Gameongrafix and ThisOldGame have a modified version of the Kick Base of the 6-player cabinet for their side-art, and not the 4-player stand up cabinet's side-art. Szabo's looks to be pretty spot on from the original 4-player art. Here's a comparison: Notice the original 4-player cabinet art has Storm is looking to the left, Nightcrawler is looking forward, Colossus is on the right, while Wolverine is on the left. The versions supplied by GoG and ThisOldGame seems to have the 6-player Kick Base art, but is rearranged, and has the CPO background rather than a solid colour. This was bugging me for a while, because it's not authentic to the 4-player cabinets! But, their other art -- CPO, Marquee -- is on point. I decided to go with GoG for those pieces, but not the side art. As for cabinet updates, I got my workspace cleaned up and now I'm working on getting the K7000 monitor working. I'll post progress on that once I have something to show. |

The problem with repro side art is they almost always ---fudgesicle--- it up and you can spot it a mile away. If you’re simply going for “looks new” it’s fine, but if you’re going for “looks restored” you’re out of luck. You made the right choice. |
