You have got to restore it.  I love Smash TV.  It would be a crime to MAME it out.

Since you already have a MAME cab, I would say restore it.  Smash TV is AWESOME!!!  and if you can figure out how to put a Total Carnage board in there, that would be the coolest!!!

If you have trouble finding a Total Carnage board, another option would be to get a JPAC from Ultimarc and run MAME using most of the original components from the cab.  Using the JPAC would keep the insides pretty much intact. 

With the JPAC setup you could play all 3 double joystick games and do the:

Eugene Jarvis Trilogy Cabinet!!!...

Maybe the sound board controls the inputs (this is the case on several video games). Fix the sound board problems first and you may find it fixes the inputs.

Anyway, I'm wondering what the consensus is for:

A) restoring it
B) restoring it and adding a Total Carnage board
C) restoring it and adding MAME internals as a switchable doohicky.

I'm definately not going to gut this thing.  I'd rather sell it as is than do that.

I've done a lot of reading on JAMMA and understand conceptually what its all about though I've not done anything like this before.

Thoughts?

Ps. it came with the requisite gum attached to the CP.  But it's in great shape!

Nice score!  Smash is a pretty good game.  I'd restore, no doubt about it.

Restore it or sell it to a collector.  SMASH TV is an A-List game.
