Ok, I only glanced at pics yesterday but have now actually looked in more detail.
100% repainted - I checked the stenciling lines and they are not like original in places.
My theory is that this may have been in a box until recently but the cabinet got damaged or damp and so it was re-painted?
Maybe that explains the new legs - old ones were rusty?
As for the odd 1000's on the playfield, I have a theory on that.
I have a very early letters Catacomb with very early prototype roms on it.
It scores 1000 points everytime a set of drops is completed.
So, I think this is a prototype playfield while they were still deciding which parts of the game scored 1000 points.
Just need to change the listing to 'restored'.
Quoted from Whysnow:I really think that the pf is original and nice condition. Would be very interested to see/hear from new buyer once they get it.
The cab is “restored” but good enough.
Gotta say that looking through history of sales this is comparable to the ones that have sold in the last year for 4500-5500.
I stand by my original assessment. This is a deal and I would have bought if I had the funds.
Would be interesting to hear the full history.
I am guessing it was stored for decades but in a poor environment which explains some parts looking amazing and others having to be replaced/redone.
