why are there decals on this game to begin with? All DE games are screen printed? This is why you never ever want to put decals on a cabinet, unless it's absolutely trashed. Original cabinet with minor blemishes and scratches, is more valuable than a perfect decalled cabinet. Because decals are fragile as shit.

could be, but I like to put the warning out there, for the anal people that thinking decalling a cabinet due to minor imperfections, is the answer. You actually devalue your game unless the game is so faded you can't read it anymore. Or it looks like it was dragged behind a truck. Everything else, you are usually better off touching it up and leaving it as original as you can.

Only exception to this rule is games that pieces of shit decals done at the factory.

and games like that. But there are not many out there that have them.

were they? I thought they had the leg wrinkle problems. Must be thinking of something else.

and yes, B/W were screened on vinyl covered wood. but the bond of that vinyl is as good as screening direct to wood like DE did.

really? Thought B/W were always vinyl base for smoothness, then screened.

I bet it was cost cutting measure. Much cheaper not to prep the wood with vinyl before screening.

learning new stuff all the time. This is good stuff to know. Not that i'm going to be doing cabinets anytime soon, but good to know for future reference.
