    Default Taito cabinet restore -or- Look what I found

    I picked up this cabinet a while back. I knew what it was and was disapointed it was painted over but what are you going to do. I multi-used it for a while, swapping out boards, rotating the monior and what not. It's great because it's a smaller cab and I thought I'd like to restore it, fix it up, re-stencil it maybe. One thing I noticed though is that the paint job was starting to chip off. So, the other day I decided to take a razor blade to it and 90% of it just flaked off. I think after a good polish it's at least going to look better tha it did. Even with "THE HOLE" and "DAVID +" scratched onto the side of it.

    That is beautiful, like finding a treasure under that ugly repaint. Really great that the paint scrapped off so well, very nice!
