Yeah but it would be a shame to scrap it as above the bottom bit it looks pretty decent. The other thing to do would be to give it a good solid base to support it then patch around that but you will still need to replace all the side art etc. |

That's why I have my dilemma :o Actually I think I'd only have to kill the kickplate art, I could keep the sides intact. |

Do you have any additional pics of the reconstruction? I know Pac and galaga were different construction, but in the pic with the front and one side still attached, there is no dado slot. Did you cut one in the new panels? I am confident I can re-cut 5 pieces of flat wood, even dowel holes and such. where I get sketchy is the slots and rabbets for the back door, etc...I haven't used a router before. |

I used MDF because it was smoother and straighter than plywood. I used wood glue, body filler, and a dowel system to join it all together. On the inside, I screwed in boards on top of the seam to stabilize the construction. It was pretty solid. Don’t even worry about the rabbets and slots. I filled them in and made my own back door. No issues. |
