Yes, there are several nicks and scratches, but that's OK with me. I'm not going for new, I'm just trying to get it back to original. I'm OK with signs of use on this cab -- in fact I rather prefer it. It lends to a more authentic experience. But I do want everything to work. |

This project is on hold, temporarily, while I complete a cab repair project for a local pizzeria owner. Project details here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=105653 Once I'm done, I'll resume this one. |

I just bought a DD cab that was probably in better shape then yours for $100 last week. I thought about restoring it but after playing DD for 5 minuets I realized that the game has not aged well from what I remember. I can still pick up a game like Final Fight, Streets of Rage, Ninja Turtles, X-men, Alain Vs Predator or Simpson’s and still find it fun. Only thing DD has now is found memories of the NES version and classic intro music. |

You'll never be done (but you'll be eating well) ;D |

I'm actually getting very close to reviving this again -- I've been using my DD cab for lots of monitor testing recently, and I'm getting motivated to finish cleaning off the other side's paint so I can call this one done. I'm not going to be going overboard with this - I just want it cleaned up and playable. I do also have 2 other boards that I've bought that I will probably be working on this winter, if time allows. It'll be a good lesson in using a logic probe, for sure. I need to get this project cleared up before I can start my Ms Pac restoration. |
