hey guys
so i started work on my MASSIVE 27" cab (made of pine, was going to stain it in the end) but after throwing 100 bucks in wood down and not even being half way done, i've decided to dismantle it and put it up for a while and focus on my other machines
now
here's the questions i have
1) i have a nice 25" street fighter cab that i picked up a while back
the thing works great but the art has a couple things that i don't really like, unfortunately i can't seem to find anyone selling repos of the street fighter 2 stuff (the original sf2, not champion edition, etc.) so i want to just go over it with some generic stuff while still preserving the original art
it's good enough that i dont' want to destroy, but it's not as nice as i want it to be
i'm thinking about using some marble countertop or something like that on top
any suggestions how i can apply it without hurting the old overlay or side art?
2) i just bought me a centipede pcb off of ebay to go in my capcom bowling cab and i'm not sure what else i need
i've never dealt with a cab that's not jamma before and all i have is the main pcb
do i need sound boards, different power boards, etc?
any help would be good guys

Do NOT get the marble countertop stuff. It's flimsy and looks poor. I know a lot of people here have used it - heck I'VE used it (not any more!) but it really doesn't do any justice.
There is NOS (new old stock) Street Fighter stuff on eBay all the time. Heck, if you ask in RGVAC (http://groups.google.com/groups?q=rec.games.video.arcade.collecting&hl=en&btnG=Google+Search) someone may be able to fill your request.

thanks
i forgot about the newsgroup
i'll give that a shot
i haven't been able to find nos on ebay for this cab and i've been lookin for quite some time
there is always marquees and bezels but never overlays and sideart
and i haven't seen anyone try and vectorize em
