Quoted from Agent_Hero:

My thought was to have the border be much less noticeable than a Heighway cabinet--I mentioned their cabinet just for reference. The top frame would be no bigger than lollipop rails and the bottom would be no bigger than an inch and would probably attach either to the back and/or bottom of the cabinet in a sort of wrap-around fashion. Has no one ever seen how arcade game marquees are secured to a cabinet?! My thinking was that if the top and bottom channels were thin enough, there wouldn't be much difference between full faded cabinet art and the new look.

I'm curious how you would keep from losing cabinet strength with such a big hole. Also where would the backbox hinges go and where would the playfield rest?

I suppose you could have a box within a box. The inner would be like a regular cabinet with an outer skin to house your translite but I'd imagine the grumbling about the frame around the playfield glass would get bigger.
