A camera that takes pictures of birds in a house while the occupants are on vacation??? OK, I think I'll just let that one go..... (btw you just need some cheap digital camera shots, not a video movie camera sequence).
See if we could see the cab shape, we could tell you what the game MIGHT be. As for the paint, you don't sand it off. The whole idea is to preserve the artwork underneath. Unless you don't care. If you don't, then sand away. If you want to know what's under there, lay the cab flat on its side, and use "Goo Gone" or similar. If you visit rec.games.video.arcade.collectors (or search by dejanews.com ) you'll find many threads about this with a few alternative products you can use. The idea is not to use something so strong that it will just take off the original artwork and paint too.

"Goo Gone" will remove adhesive residue. "Goof Off" is what lot of people recommend for getting off layers of paint. That, and 3M Safest Stripper.

I know that you only want some simple pics, but the pics from the camera that I bought are really dark. Dark as in there was daylight shining in on the cab AND I turned on a light, and you could still only make out the fact that there was a cabinet there.
And by the way, if you don't like my english, then PAY FOR MY COLLEGE SO I CAN ACTUALLY GO!!!!!! :'(
IBM poor.

Email them to me. I'll brighten them up and post them.

I have a copy of Photoshop SE and tried...it didn't work...so I deleted the pics. Do you have a better program? If so I can take more pics. Otherwise I was going to stop by Wally World tomorrow and buy one of those disposable dilios that are designed for digital pics.
