I seem to recall the outside is orange... But the inside has always been black.

Anyone concur?

Mine is black inside as well. Not positive but cabinets came in different flavored. Some were screened, others decaled. Going to guess the one you are getting is decaled. I'm considering painting the inside orange as well when I do a shop, possibly including new PF from CPR or restoring mine.

just sold my BC and the inside was orange just like the outside,

Much like the four different backglasses, there are both orange and black interior colors. And like others gave said, there were also decaled cabs too ( which I had). ~SpOoKy

They didn't do Decals in the 1980s. They are all screened.

Sometimes the vinyl lamination under the screen lifts which does make it appear like a decal.

See the Bryan Kelly IJ restoration thread for clarification.

Found it.

Then mine came with custom made decals because they were completely peeling off the left side of the cabinet. ~SpOoKy

I have a scanner on the way and am going to be vectorizing the cabinet artwork. I have talked with PPS about decals but will also try to find another solution if going that route fails. Obviously without PPS I can't help anyone else, but I may try getting this screened locally on my machine. Once I have the artwork complete I will be contacting PPS however to see if these can be made. It may be screen over vinyl, but no matter, the vinyl has faded and tears, wrinkles and rips aren't looking good enough for my living room.

Meow, me, meow, meow! Could be cabs from different suppliers to Williams.

I remember multiple threads on RGP that the big W was using leftover cabinets from a prior pin for Bad Cats, henceforth both the factory silkscening and decals. Both myself as well as a good friend of mine had the crummy cabinet decals. Mine were so bad on the left side, I could gave pulled it off with little effort. I don't have a horse, so to speak, in this race as both myself and buddy don't own BC now, but also know what we both owned and if I can find my pics from like 7 years ago, would gladly share them here. ~SpOiKy

If you can make them to a high quality, I'm sure PPP would buy the files off you.

From what I heard they don't pay a lot for them though ... But I guess you'd be doing Bad Cats owners a big favour.

When doing new decals it might be nice to add the text balloon that was originally supposed to be there, but was not approved by management. The bird is saying something like "Come get me you pussies".

I was only aware of 3 different backglasses:
1. snake with burned out Python head, black hair
2. snake with nicer Python head, blue hair
3. regular snake, as seen on the flyer

So what's the fourth backglass?

Congrats on finding a bad cats.
I'd like to get one too..

That's supposed to be the vari target! Haha!

I have already done Vector Graphics for the Bad Cats Cabinet Artwork & PPS didn't want to buy the files.....Oh Well, Maybe you will have better luck....

You could always save me the time and send me the graphics! My plan is to try to get some help making screens at the local university and printing directly on the cabinet. I'm going to build my own screens for this. Probably two different screens for the main cabinet. Backbox is also two separate screens and one more for the front panel. Going to take hours to do the art. I doubt if you weren't able to sell that I would be able to sell. Perhaps PPS could chime in here.

I have about 128 Hours into the artwork, plus it took 23 scans to capture it all & another 20 hours to 'line-up & stitch' all the scans together correctly & accurately.....my vector files are as accurate as any file I have done for CPR projects.

Perhaps price is the reason. I wanted a couple sets of decals in trade. Guess I've got some work ahead and then I'll still have to figure out how to get them made. Colors are the real issue, getting the orange and whatever the other color is without a machine that is true to the original color. However, I'm going out on a limb assuming the orange in the speaker panel/backglass is the original cabinet orange, not sure about the red or whatever color is in the W and the dog spots.
