T-Molding Back & Bottom?

I have a Midway Blue Print cab (1982). If it's not made out of MDF, it's made out of something that looks exactly like MDF.

Wow, only one I've ever heard of, out of dozens I've seen... guess you just have that one "special" cabinet. ;) I'll forgive you though if you double check and realize you're wrong.

I'll forgive you for suggesting I double check..... You are clearly an absolute god and know everything there is to know about Defender Cabs :notworthy: :notworthy: I am clearly not worthy to be in the presence of such a person as you Wade.
I'll take bets that you've never seen a UK Williams Cab!.... They shipped the boards over here and the plans for the cabinets along with stencils for the artwork... they were built over here and not shipped as complete cabinets. SO! the majority of Williams Defender Cabs in the UK DO Have T-Molding all the way down the back.

My Defender cab doesn't have t-mold down the back. I did put it on the back of my MAME cabinet but that was simply because I had enough. I agree with Stingray (you'll never hear those words again) in not putting it where people won't notice it. I also took this stance on the innards and the back paint

A brief history of MDF:
About 65 to 70 percent of a tree can be used for solid lumber, but what about the rest? In the past the answer was simple: It was burned or dumped in landfills. Today more than 95 percent of a harvested tree can be put to good use thanks in great part to the increased use of engineered wood products. Among these, medium density fiberboard, or MDF, has enjoyed remarkable success over recent years. As the MDF supplier for the Charlestown house, I'm in a good position to tell you about the material's history.
The material got its start in the United States in 1966, at a plant in upstate New York. As it became clear that making MDF offered a far better use of residual wood than disposing of it, production soared. Today there are some 27 plants in the US and Canada, and more than 100 worldwide. Recently the industry has expanded its use of recovered materials to include agricultural by-products such as wheat straw and post-consumer recycled wood.

So being that MDF was created in 1966, I don't think there would have been any problem for manufacturers to use it for their cabinets in the early 1980's.

I apologize for not considering your location, I was talking about original US dedicated video games, not secondary market or foreign market games. Most people would say Centipede has great and colorful sideart, well, didn't most foreign Centipedes have woodgrain sideart? LOL! Guess they aren't talking about the foreign market.
Seriously... I was talking US cabinets implicitly, I can't speak for the foreign cabinets. They fall into the same category as conversion cabinets, "anything goes" as far as I'm concerned. Some areas have no dedicated cabinets at all. :-[
