Honestly, I would put it between 2 other machines and not worry about it, but that's just me.

Maybe you can get a good price reduction because of the faded decals?

Best of luck, it's a fun machine!

You might be able to find decals and apply them, but just the idea of that always seems liek way too much for me. I would do it if the game sits in the very middle of your living room and can be seen from all sides. Mine games are next to other games, or walls, so I couldn't care less.

I would get that one for $1500 in a heartbeat. Dredd doesn't have that much red to the side art in the first place. You're talking about a difference of almost $1000 due to faded sideart.

I don't think new side art for Dredd exists. The side art doesn't affect how it plays, though.

I made my last JD look really good with Art line markers. You can get the results you are looking for. Good luck.

That's the way to go. I understand wanting a very very nice machine, but literally you may never even see the side of it.

PLus a 1500 Dredd is a good deal.

I'd love to hear a review of these decals if you ever buy them...

I'm going to try and airbrush mine. Mask and spray. Than maybe put a mat-clear on it. Then if I f up the decals should be out

If its a good deal for you and it's local buy it! Don't pass on it because of the cabinet. You never when another one will come around to buy.

That seems a little high. Offer him $1400.

Care to share pics? I'm about to pic up a 90s Bally with fade on one side and don't want to go the decal route-not yet, anyway.

This is probably the best picture I have. If you were very close and looking at the art you could tell, but unless you tell someone what you did, they would never know IMO. Unless you were trying to pawn it off to a buyer as unfaded, lol.

This JD was faded completely and all over, no color except blue and white. I was not trying for perfection and actually had some fun restoring color. I did not have luck with Sharpies (I bought a million and they dry quickly and streak) I had to buy these on Amazon or Ebay and get shipped from overseas. I cannot stress how worth it they were. There very well may be some available locally that are just as good. Sharpies are not IMO.
