Looks like they only have galvanized, plain or zinc. Divemaster has black, and I have some from him - they look great...

What do you mean original arcade cabinets were not made of MDF?   Both my Bad Dudes cabinet and my Dynamo cabinet are MDF...and the Bad Dudes cabinet is from around 1986-87...is that original?

The 70's and 80's cabinets were made of MDO not MDF, MDO looks more like chip board on the edge.
The bases or bottom shelves were made of plywood.
This is due to MDF's tendency to strip and not hold screws as well as plywood.
