SPACE INVADERS DELUXE: To restore or MAME?

Along while back, I bought a Space Invaders Deluxe for $150 from a guy here, locally in the DFW area. It had been owned by his family for the life of the machine. It's neve seen a day in an arcade, and they tried to take good care of it.

However, this is where the problem comes in. They meddled in something they shouldn't have. Instead of just keeping the outside clean, they semi-regularly cleaned out the inside as well. This might be fine for people that know what they're doing, but these people didn't. In the process, they blew out the monitor.

AlanS17:

OH! Here's the pictures...

They look blurry but they were taken on a camera phone. I assure you the cabinet is nearly perfect, and the sideart is painted so it would be a snap to touch up.

AlanS17:

Ok, it's confirmed! MAME has switches "flipx" and "flipy" . I'm leaning more towards MAME now. This should be a snap!

Dire Radiant:

Since it's in such good condition it seems a pity not to go with the restore option but as long as you don't start drilling holes I can't see any problem with using it for MAME. I mean lets face it SI Deluxe isn't exactly the world's prettiest cab.

RayB:

No no no no no!

A rare flawless home-owned cab for ONLY $150 and you want to MAME it?!
NOOOOOOOOO!
