By the way mtalkington, I really like how the instruction cards on the left and right of the monitor bezel came out on your cabinet. |

Wood and paint, and it was rotting in a garage, and now it's being used regularly and providing lots of fun. Not bad for a piece of wood. --- End quote --- Luckily many other people in the world don't feel the same way. And because of them you have classic cabinets to continue to enjoy. But then again you're only one person and it's only one cabinet. No big deal right? |

Hey Brax aren't you asking Animeka about a coin door? Aren't you worried that your taking parts away from someone that may actually be restoring a game that the coin door came out of? I believe restorable games should be restored but you also need to draw a line and converting a cab is a far better end than burning it. Think of it not as the cab be destroyed but of it being rescued. |

Brax, despite my flip comment earlier, I really did give some consideration to the fact that a Defender cabinet is a classic and whether or not it was OK to convert it. Not that I personally think it's a big deal either way -- certainly not one that warrants calling people selfish :) -- but I do respect that others feel that way. Ultimately, I decided that a conversion was fine, given that all that was left was the glass front, which I sold to someone else, and the frame/cabinet itself, which is intact and, I think, in much better shape. The holes could be patched someday if someone were inclined to convert it into a Defender cabinet. Regardless, if there's some kind of "vibe" or something special about the physical cabinet itself (or any classic cabinet) that warrants saving, it's not as if that's been snuffed out or something. Like the previous post said, if anything, it's been rescued. And as for my cabinet, it's being enjoyed regularly by me and my friends. So it's all good :) |
