I wonder how many of the features that were done on it were after t he fact. It's got some stuff done on it that I've never seen.

After I'm done the DK Ultimate I'll gut this and use the parts for something like a dedicated Mario Bros. Cabaret.

When life hands you a cocktail, you don't make a cabaret... Enjoy the cocktail!

Uh-oh... Don't tell Chance what he can't do.....

It's actually in nice shape. Throw some custom artwork under the glass and on the CPs and call it day.

Interesting. The door isn't like Atari doors, either. They're usually the full side.

I'm afraid it won't be able to live in the living room, den, or man cave here just due to the faint smell of petrol. I'm sure that will dissipate in time, but for now it will have to stay in with my tools in my shop room, (it's a big house).

I've had similar problems (especially with smoke scented items). I've found that cold air seems to suck the stink out of them.  If you have a garage/shed/etc you might want to try leaving it out there for a few weeks while it is still cold.  I discovered this by accident actually and I've repeated it a few times over the years.

Good call. I'm gonna try that if the open cans of coffee grinds don't help. Haha. Strangly I get a buzz going down into the room. Not sure if it's the gas, or the coffee...

I thought about suggesting you change the title of your thread, then you posted this and suddenly the original thread title makes more sense....

 

Drugs are bad mmmmkay?

I've had good luck wiping the cabinet down with Fabuloso.  The cabinet will stink like Fabuloso for a bit but after a while all smells go away.

Yeah? I'm struggling to see the "Win" in that. 

It won't smell like gas.

I wish you lived here, bro. I'd love to help you refurb that.

Mmmm, yes.  Like I said before. The fate of this thing is up in the air for at least until the DKU is built.

And this is why I can't sleep at night.

You could do a clean, classy touchup of that on the side in no time.

cool little find. It would be interesting to nail down what it was and possibly restore it, but it looks like it's been hacked up more than a young college girl in an 80s horror movie. Regardless of the route you take to "recovery" of this, i'm always interested in the projects you undertake. I'll be following this one.

I'm getting the bug as well. I haven't even finished plans for my MAME cab, and i'm already trying to find other cabs to restore and a dedicated Taito cab to make a dedicated Rastan cab.

*cough* YOTS *cough*

     Convert it to Space Invaders or something, At least something you like. There is no shame in wanting to enjoy it even though you can bring yourself to part with it.

Neat little cab. Might be useful as a trade if you found the right collector (vector guys are interesting folks and you might find one with a Space Duel).

Star Castle was BW with a coulored overlay. Original of which would be harder to find than a colour vector, but might be fairly simple to repro (if you want to find/repair a 13" BW vector). EDIT: I see now that the colour vector was for Space Duel ... must have been comprehensionally-impaired when I posted.
