I had promised myself I wasn't going to start on this until I had the monitor in the one that is actually still in one piece working, but...
I have been such a good boy lately that on Saturday (after I had fixed the pressure pump for our water supply system at 6:30am) I was allowed the day I have REALLY needed for about 2 years now to clean and rearrange the workshop.
Most of the cabinet pieces from the second RUSH cabinet that magically appeared in my life have been sitting in this odd corner of the shop and I needed to shuffle things a bit for my new layout.

I wouldn't have started this (so I tell myself-) if it hadn't been for the massive allergy fit that I got for moving that pile around.
The cabinet came to me gratis because it was neglected/nonfunctional (although appeared complete) and had spent time getting wet.
Lots of mold.
So rather than continue to hold onto this lung wrecker waiting for time to appear I figured screw it.
Tossed the pieces out in the sun for the afternoon and they improved but still give me the sniffles.
Time to go to work!
Thankfully it looks like the cabinet designer knew it needed to be bomb-proof and the whole base (with great casters) can be saved- because it was actually cabinet ply.
The rest is trash.
All that particle board soaked up a lot of water (and who knows what else my lungs don't like) and swelled and is disintegrating.
One side panel was still good enough to use as a template.

If anyone knows somewhere to find art for these please let me know!
I now need two sets

Gang cuts and patience with a decent jigsaw saves a lot of time.
The craziest part of this cabinet is the center of it that basically carries everything.
The steering assembly, base for the monitor, pedal cluster, coin door and the middle supports for the side panels all rely on this chunk of wood.

Took a few rounds of going through this thing with a tape measure and bezel square to figure I had it close enough.
The cut list was ridiculous but I believe I have pulled it off.

Having the pieces to use (and not just a picture) is making it easy to rip through this actually.
I only recently came by a decent table saw and it makes a huge difference in speed and accuracy.
Got to move so fast in fact that by 1:30am I was already gluing and tacking stuff together!

If someone could tell me the best way to catalog this whole thing to be useful to anyone in the future please let me know.
Problem is that I have NO software (or skill to use it) for any means of making meaningful files but I would happily give great detail in hand drawn stuff to anyone who could do better than I with it!
I have my black belt in pencil, graph paper and protractor.

Seems a shame to effectively have the detail of an entire tear-down and not be able to record it somehow.
Can't wait to toss all this nasty particle board and get going on the rest of it.
