If the cab is unique, it is always favourable to restore it to play the original game.
On the other side, it is even easier to build a mame machine from scratch. There are few machines that can accomodate all needed buttons and sticks, and renewing parts and finish is harder than starting with nothing. Check jakobud.com for nice plans to built a cab yourself.

Craigslist is a cool web site for buying and selling stuff. Not sure how good it is in the UK though.
