i say disassemble it. Take a router to every piece and replicate with new wood(your using every old piece as a template). Then reassemble all new pieces *Voila* brand new cab. Then you can discard the cab, or donate/sell to another person looking to do a project. |

Just use this one as a template and reuse whatever hardware I can. I already have a MAME cabinet so I was thinking about just making this an authentic neo geo cabinet. However, looks like more work since the monitor will need to be eventually replaced along with the power supply. If I were to gut it and sell the carts and neo geo motherboard, what is the going rate? I checked ebay and only found 1 listing for a 2-slot neo geo motherboard for $199. The two carts are KOF 98 and Cyber Lib. |

So long as there are some Neo games you like, I'd recommend keeping it a Neo, they're great fun. Personally, it doesn't look like all THAT much work to fix that up again either way. I would fix up the control panel and apply touch up paint where needed, but I wouldn't worry about getting new stickers for the side because honestly the one sticker you posted looks a little tacky on a black background. It'd be a pain, but with all that space on the control panel, it'd be nice to space players 1 and 2 farther apart also. Anyways, good luck with it and congrats on getting it. |
