Custom Taito "Frame Off"
IG-88:
Sorry, I didn't mean to fly off the handle. It's just that site has pissed me off for a long time. Most peoples cabs aren't mameys to begin with but you got to start somewhere. I personally like those off the wall cabs. The more funky the better.
I agree with pinballwizard, that artwork is retro cool. I wish some of mine had that on them.
YoGaBaR:
You know the more I look at it the more it grows on me. How about something like this. Dont make fun of my paint skills.
I like the purple but may do orange and black.
pinballwizard79:
I would choose a color that can easily match joysticks, buttons & trim.
Then you can avoid costly artwork on the control panel (underpaint some plexi with a metal flake black maybe, the kind for RC cars) perhaps?
Of course this is your arcade we are talking about here though so do as you want, this is just me dreaming out loud.
Imagine that artwork in red & black with a red spinner, red trackball glowing, red buttons, red joysticks & red trim with red coin rejects lit up. Or the same with blue, green or purple (GGG has the odd colors in trackballs FYI).
Just some thoughts, damn I want to build an upright in a Taito cabinet now

I'm digging what pinballwizard said! I think that cab is very clean as is and if you were to take that standard taito design and put your own personalization on it you would have a winner!
It just looks clean and retro but not so retro that you instantly think 1980's.

No need to apologize, my post did come off as kind of jerkish (even though that was not my intent).

That may be true but I'm sure most of us wish our cabs were mameys!
