Yea the mat mania is currently shown as a theme on that wood cab. right now its running vantage and a 200mhz pc. works pretty sweet. Thanks for all your suggestions. Tonight I will try and see what color is under that black taito cab. whats the best method for attempting to strip that black paint? depends on if its latex or enamel paint?

How did I forget about Popeye.  ???

I think I've read around here that people have used Goof Off to get one layer of paint off at a time.  Maybe someone can conform that?

I found it at HD, Lowes, and Walmart personally

The same Taito cabinet was used for multiple games, but there were several different colors. The color of the cabinet designates what game went in it. For instance, if you've got green under there it was probably either a Jungle Hunt or a Jungle King.

Zookeeper had its own original art. Standard cab shape, but unique artwork.

As for removing paint, there are MANY threads here discussing it. Search for the Moon Patrol restoration. I think there was also a Stargate restoration and a couple more.

See if you can scratch off the paint first. If so, it's gonna be an easy ride! If not, then proceed with varying strengths of "stuff". Don't start right off with full on paint stripper. Sometimes it strips the original paint off too.
