Paige,
I know I asked this somewhere else but never saw the replies (KLOV?).
Atari cabinets aren't covered in silk-screened vinyl. They are made of laminated wood/particle board and then screened. Big difference. In other words, there is not a separate sticker that was applied at the factory. This is why you will never see NOS atari sideart for games like DigDug, Centipede, Kangaroo, etc. (unless it is meant for a conversion).
Correct me if I'm wrong. I see people commonly mention the same thing that you have, but I think they are mistaken.

Well, what is the white stuff on the cabinet if it isn't vinyl. It isn't actually paint is it?
philcollins:
Paige, I miss you.

I have a bump n jump in an atari kangaroo cab. Thinking of trying this with it. Cant see why anyone would want to cover up this stuff when the cab is is good shape
