Hey, how did you get my first cabinet!!!
The first machine I ever bought was basically that exact same one, Capcom bowling in a pac-man cabinet with a dead monitor. It even looked pretty much the same, although mine was complete. Pretty sure it ended up in the dumpster eventually.

This one is actually a Galaxian conversion (yes, I know, same cab). It's structurally in good shape, but dirty and had a massively rusty coin door.
The wiring...wow. Like spaghetti. I should have taken a picture before I worked on it.

I'd keep it as capcom bowling, sand and stain the cabinet. Galaxian cabs looks like a million bucks in bare wood form.

I've done that with the two other Galaxian conversions I've got. The second one I thought I stained pretty well, but then I took a good look at it. Needs to be totally redone. I'll do it in the future.
Nope...this one is getting painted. Donkey Kong II blue. I've got a DK I'm converting to DK2 and I'll have plenty of paint left over, so...
