Picked up my second cabinet...

Spray that crap with a bleach based cleaner ASAP. Don't take a chance of the spores getting into your HVAC system and spreading throughout the house!
The price is ok (perhaps a bit high for the cab itself), but if the marquee is in good shape, that makes it worth $10 on it's own. Not sure what I would do with the cab myself. With the mold situation and my wife allergic, I'd never be able to bring it home.

Take the best side clean it up, patch it, then use it for a template to cut 2, Then replace the bottom with new wood.
It"s lots of work.... but that"s what Jenni would do.

Believe me, that was the first thing I checked off my "to do" list - I wasn't quite expecting to find that much mold in it (though it makes sense). The stuff cleaned off easily with some bleach water.
As far as the cab goes, I figure that this will be good practice for when I redo the Taito cab (which is seen in the first pic). I have never worked with MDF or particle board, so there won't be much to lose if I mess this up. I'm quite certain that the damage to the machine would have caused it to be sledgehammer fodder for most people. :P

Just thought I'd drop in a quick update, to indicate that I think I may have saved it.
Stripped of it's woodgrain & cut down 6.5 inches:
New wood!
And a closeup of the repaired section (front panel is just sitting there @ the moment):
I'm quite pleased & look forward to working on a somewhat more solid frogger! I'll start a regular build thread going in the "projects" section when I make some notable progress. :D
