local Asteroids cab. / connection methods for swappable CP's

Those corners look too damaged for simple bondo to fix. You'll probably need to cut off that one corner (the worst one) and replace it with a piece of wood, using dowels, glue and wood-filler to secure and smooth over.
The rust on the CP can be removed by scraping it with a wire-wheel in your drill chuck, then you can just repaint/seal it and get a replacement CPO -- unless you know someone that can silkscreen it back to original.
There are no pictures of the side art condition, but given that you've got a lot of corner work needed for the sides, you might need to get new side art that will cost you over $100 (gameongrafix has the set for $189.00).
IMO, even if you could get this for $25, there's way too much work and cost involved in getting it to a decent shape. Probably run you close to $500 in costs and labour.
I'd pass on it entirely and find a better conditioned cabinet to Mame.

I paid $60 for my first gutted cab, $30 for the second one. You'd spend at least $100 for cabinet grade wood. Have fun with it!
