Unfortunately, the only skills I could contribute are not needed/realistic (woodworking and engineering). If I knew how to make vector art, I would help you out :dunno
HukdUnFonx:
Did the art from this project ever get posted anywhere? I'd really like to use it as a starting point for a custom project.

Just picked one of these up yesterday: http://imgur.com/a/NMd3K First cabinet in my future personal arcade. Already starting planning the restoration process.
So I'm very interested in helping the project along in any way I can. Not experienced in vectoring graphics, but I can provide detailed photos and measurements that are still needed. As you can see from the photos, the graphics are not in the best of shape but it's all there. I also have an original manual and some details schematics of the control panel I can pass along. I'm PM'ing DeLuSioNal29 hoping we can finally get this project moving again.

It looks like several LCD tvs let you watch "side-by-side" inputs on the TV. I assume they just wired up each output through a video converter and then into the LCD tv and they're using the side-by-side feature to display both screens. Cool!

Half right. I found a set that does PIP side by side, hoping to do something really cool with the 6 player I'm in the middle of rebuilding/restoring. However, the video for the left screen (the one that's mounted facing up through that mirrored pane) has it's signal mirrored coming from the PCB. :banghead: Doh! Was hoping it was mirrored at the tube and not the board.
Can't see a way of making it work without some device between the PCB and LCD that will flip the video signal horizontally. Does anyone know of any CGA-VGA converters that does this? Or maybe any other solution that doesn't cost 300+ bucks like some of the video converters I've seen online???
Also, I have taken some high-res shots of the graphics on my 6 player if anyone is interested in keeping this project going. Please PM me so I can setup some kind of share for the pics. I also have a marquee and hopefully soon new front artwork for the control console that can be scanned for anyone interested in working with me on this.
