Before	After

This one looks was converted to Capcom Bowling by way of Centipede. I think every cabaret cab of this style eventually wound up to be a Capcom Bowling at some point.	This is what a NIB (New in Box) cab looks like. :)

Lots of mold, and marquee painted over. Whoever did this, spared the service label. Coin door had rust underneath powdercoat. Bottom laminate coming up, and it swelling of the sides, this machine must have been in a hot humid place in a puddle.	Refinished coin doors, speaker grille, and polished marquee. (Unfortunately, new Formica shows fingerprints really well...)
On to the restoration process...
