After several years and patients, I have finally obtained the artwork from these great Atari titles.
Lots of distorting, layering and Photoshop trickery lay ahead for MrDo! or maybe, hopefully some of the old team that made some of the hardest titles like Space Invaders and Discs of Tron possible.
This completes the Atari Trilogy or "3 Sisters"
Starship One
Destroyer
Skyraider.
All three share the same cabinet with an unusual front plastic bezel.
Accurate dimensions and photos of Starship One provide the needed information for the blue and brown bezels for the other two cabs.

Very nice Trev. These are beyond me. The look pretty clean, Maybe they just need a little cleaning. Maybe a little saturation enhancement to the whole thing. The seem faded but relatively clean. Are they on the FTP?

Yes, everything is up on the FTP site. In the need to be cleaned folder.
Skyraider has a near perfect background along with a second print that is equally faded with the foreground artwork and pilot.
I figure maybe color matching can be done to restore the front art and if not then the faded background can be used instead for a match.
I did some simple layering and transparency so you can see the pilots left arm. Some tricky stuff will be needed to bring it all together.
The video screen shines through a red gel sheet, not brown as I originally thought. Makes sense now that I see how the art suggests viewing through bomb bay doors.
Destroyer also has a rear art panel in excellent condition. Both machines had the previous sun drenched art stored in the base.
Both of these titles gain so much from the art.
Perhaps they can be done in steps rather than trying to perfect them in one go. Probably will want options to turn on or off the various layers.
When I return, I'll be making sound samples of Destroyer.
Maybe the hardware is similar enough to skyraider that the discrete logistics dev. Could have a look at it.
Tomorrow I'm off to Cax2013 Woohoo!
My buddy owns the dedicated Williams Splat that will be at the show.
I'll have to see what I can do about snagging that ultra rare bezel.
The 3 sisters will not be attending unfortunately. Way to buried in the warehouse. Maybe next year. 35 year old machines can be problematic too.

Great find. Great work! Lots to do. Just got a new PC. Looking forward to reinvigorating my love of MAME.

Took a solid punch to the wallet today.
At our business discounted price, those scans totaled a whopping $357.00
And so with a total of 65 machines scanned, I will be bowing out of this hobby.
Which as it turns out would likely have happened anyway.
There are only a few titles left unscanned and they are all B&W discrete circuit machines.
My friend has completely maxed out his space and really needs to size down and make the place manageable again so I've likely seen the last of new titles rolling in.
The journey started with and obsession to make Exidy's Star Fire look and sound great in Mame.
Peeked with the ultra rare Sundance that would have set me back a mint if anything went wrong.
Wrapped up with finally getting a hold of SkyRaider.
My work here is done.
Thanks for all the hard work done thus far to clean these titles up and make the NIB perfect again.
Enjoy the Art.

Thanks Trev for all that you have done for the project. You spent more money than you should have. I wish I could have contributed, $ wise. You've made many of the classics more enjoyable thanks to your hard work and money.
I will continue to clean up some of the scans you have contributed. Time is limited for me right now but I will trudge forward.
Please don't disappear completely. I would still like to see a post every now and then.
Thanks again.
