The Choplifter cabinet looks very similar to the Asteroids Deluxe cabinet. But it isn't exactly the same. I do recognize it, but just now I can't recall...

Do you plan to restore the games? At least from an artwork and CP perspective?
How is the wood quality etc?

I remember the Choplifter game.  It was pretty fun.  It had tons of bootleg/knock-offs made.  First played a copy on my Swan (anybody remember them) computer.

The chop lifter looks like an Omega Race or a Cube Quest.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

I spent many an hour playing Choplifter on an atari 7800 as a kid. One of the few games that was on PC/console and ported to the arcade.
