I've got the same infestation. Any idea on how to get rid of 'em?

Have you tried traps baited with Oreos?

Before and after pics of one of the speakers. Both speakers were replaced with new from Arcadeshop. The rubber surrounds on the old ones were rotted.

I got a free Magical Spot (converted to Dig Dug) cabinet because of somebody with a similar infestation not knowing how to repair the damage it caused. A local guy had the machine and didn't use it because the monitor didn't work, so his kids were playing "Space ship" inside the cabinet and unplugged a bunch of wires. The cab sat at his house for like 15 years not working until he gave it away. I brought it home cleaned it up re-plugged everything and it worked (including the monitor.)
Moral of the story, if that infestation gets the best of your cab don't just give it away, it's probably an easy fix.
Your cleaned-up / restored parts are looking very nice, that pedal assembly looks brand new.

Here's a pic of the coin door after refinishing. I don't have a before pic, but it actually looked ok. However upon inspection I found that about 30% of the paint was not actually adhered to the doors. There was surface rust underneath and the paint hadn't yet cracked or peeled off. It was rather odd, but it looks great now. Looks too nice for the cabinet really. ::)
