oh man. that's a perfect doer-upper!! myself id strip everything out and build a new cab using every part that can be cleaned up. in anyones eyes it will still be the original. hell with wooden boats sometimes when they rebuild it the only original thing is maybe a brass porthole and ONE rib!! since its complete you should be able to (like a wooden boat) make patterns for every damaged part. and like a wooden boat (from what owners say) it's gonna be a labour of love. not a money-making exercise... |

Thanks for the headups spriggy......I was already planning to take all the measure ment before I start tearing apart and uploading to jakobud. He'll be on his own cause I'm just giving him some hand-drawn schemi's because my cad skills suck....lol, don't get to anxious guys.....I'm estimating about month to 1 1/2 before I have the cabinet finished and hardware mounted. Then save the money for the side art.....don't have the bankrolls u guys do....j/k, just out of curiosity, I won't part out anyway, but what does something like the pcb and ps, marquee trackball and stuff like that go for, btw...the trackball is like the size of a duckpin ball ( northerners know what that is ).....are the fire buttons supposed to light up....those have the lcd's in them too....I put power to them and they light up....didn't know if the original did that or not though....also, I'm heading to a arcade warehouse tomorrow....I'll see what they have and post here....in ft lauderdale |
