Before I destroy this original

SirPeale:

He did respond again.  Didn't anyone see the post?

He's going to talk to the guy that actually owns the cabinet.  It's about halfway up.

Santoro:

Maybe I am confused but he says he will probably be able to convince Jay to restore the cab, then the website in the link above shows it being torn apart, proudly proclaiming

"Finally have an empty box that's ready for a new paint job and an actual PC with WinXP and 5,000 classic arcade games."

Sort of makes you go 'WTF?'  Why bother asking if you are going to completely ignore what you have been told by a knowledgable community? Maybe Jay doesn't listen much to what his buddy thinks? Maybe he didn't know he asked?  

Ultimately it's none of my business and maybe I am the only one who sees it this way.  I'll stay out of it.



SirPeale:

I saw the same, but think perhaps it was torn asunder before posting here.  

Time will tell.

Wow Santoro, thanks for the vote of confidence.  Maybe you could read the post a little more carefully next time.  I said that in it's current condition we can put it right back how we found it and make it run again.  It's probably better we took everything apart anyway cause all the components are clean now and it will look a lot better when we put it back together.  

I wrote my original post with that title because yes I wanted a response.  Everyone I'd told so far about the box had literally yelled at me about ruining it.  That's why I've waited so long and didn't start sanding it right away.  I didn't know the old games were so popular still.

Chill man, I'm not trolling or whatever that even means.  I'm very new to this whole scene and wanted real advice.  

Also, you'll notice that someone left me a link to another post and I've been asking questions on that thread and this one on how best to restore the rotted parts of the box without damaging the the artwork.  

SirPeale:

Easy, tiger.  It's just that we're still a little put off by another guy, who was doing what you're doing, but actually went thru with it.

You're asking a lot of questions, and that's a great thing!
