Picked up a free cabinet... what is it though?

Sorry, that isn't worth restoring, unless you have a real thing for Burgertime and want to spend $400+ to have a black painted Burgertime. You can buy a working unconverted one for that if you look long enough.

Yeah I was planning on whipping out the messuring tape this weekend. I didn't see the plans on Jakobud.

Regardless... this cab should be in better shape than it is now. Currently I wanna knock out all the nicks and scratches in it regardless. There's no way of saving the art under it, TLC is my arch nemisis.(see the Street Fighter incident of 2002). So I was planning on sanding it and painting over it again. As much as I want a machine to run my own stuff on (as well as MAME). As stated I have 3 other cabinets that I could use.

I'm gonna atempt to restore this one(Even if it's not worth the money... it's worth the knowledge and experience). I'll keep you guys updated.

- Maybe I should give it another chance... it's been almost 20 years. :)

Me too. :) I've restored cars that the "experts" told me were not worth restoring. Yes I could have bought a car similar to the one I ended up with when finished for roughly the same money, but I got the satisfaction of bringing a classic back from the dead. Also some of us just enjoy being able to do it ourselves a lot more than writing a check and bringing home a fully functional item.
