SirPeale:
Here's a picture of that.

patrickl:
Wow, that's a lot of work by the looks of it. Will you ever get that completely white? Or isn;t that what you are trying to do?

SirPeale:
My aim is to restore the artwork at neatly as possible.  I may, or may not, be able to do that.  Most of it is intact, it's the black areas that have already come off that I'm worried about.

SirPeale:
Well, so much for aim.  I attempted again to remove the black paint.  It's coming off easily enough, but it's taking a huge amount of the detail with it.

So much I have to call the side art a loss.

Interestingly enough, it seems perhaps the art is a large vinyl sticker, covering the entire sides and front.  It has peeled right off the cabinet, revealing bare wood underneath.  In excellent condition.  I'm thinking of staining it.  Won't that be an interesting change?

jcoleman:
I peeled the vinyl off my Galaxian when I decided the artwork wasn't worth saving.  I had a terrible time getting all the glue stripped off (had to use Safest Stripper about 4 times), and decided the wood wouldn't look that great stained.  Having painted it, now some of the veneer is coming loose and bubbling in a few places.  If I had it to do over (and I may still be able to), I would laminate it.  Your mileage may vary; good luck.  :)
