If you really want this original game so bad it would be best to sell up what you got, keep the funds safe and wait til a complete one does come up. Ebay UK is usually littered with them as they were always found in pubs and clubs as the 'grown-ups' choice of arcade game as the scene died.
It'd be a lot of hassle to move just one game to yet another cabinet not intended for the game and wouldn't be worth ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- if you sold it that way, so sell all your parts/cabs separate and wait for a working original cabinet to come up, or as this is BYOAC, build one in a similar styleee with a few more controls and go down the emulation route....
I'd lump that in with the "bad" designs. You want a roomy panel, and preferably a more laid back monitor angle. None of the good Golden Tee games (Fore! and later) are in MAME yet.
If you have an operator nearby, you might be able to find a dead one in a dedicated cab. The problem with these is that they still make money and there are conversions like Silver Strike and that dumb beanbag game available for them, so the prices stay a little high.
I paid $250 for this semi stripped one. The cab was complete except for the dollar bill acceptor (even the LED topper is up there and works, its just folded down in the picture), but the monitor chassis had been priated and the power supply was dead.
Pricey for a dead game, but this is the definitive Golden Tee cab to me, and I don't think they don't look right in anything else. Some of the operators can be real idiots, but you may find a good local one listed in the yellow pages under amusements. I had to drive about 2 hours for this one. The upside was that I got that complete and totally working Soul Edge for $125.
