It isn't like the Atari particle board, it's a whole different breed. The Sega Pengo cabinets were a light colored, dense particle board.

I am thinking that the Pengo pushing the sno bee at the top of the control panel on the right should just be a mirror. But, once I finish Pengo on the left, I'll mirror it and meticulously check details. Same with the Pengo's by the joystick. For only a perpetuated rumor of 3,000 of these made, I see a good amount of conversions. I like the curve profile of the cab myself.... Everyone always says "Too bad" about this game being converted, or trashed...but it for me personally, these cabs were too nice to turn into Cosmic Bowl...or be sitting in a warehouse used (like I've seen). The cabs are way too heavy on the wood though, that is for sure. Sega sure didn't save any money there. Jamie, thanks as always.

It should take you no time at all now. It looks like the pengo in the top left pushing the snow bee (?) is a mirror of the one on the top right? Are you just going to copy and flip that? Looks like the same goes for the left and right Pengos on the joystick. I should find a Pengo now. :) I think I now of someone that has a converted cabinet in good shape, but I really need to stop spending money on arcade stuff...at least until after Christmas.
