I applaud your dedication. I consider myself to be a salvage anything and everything possible person, but I would have stripped everything out of that cabinet and had the cabinet itself in the dumpster at the construction site down the road so fast the termites would have to run to catch up...

Well, I actually went through some of the stuff I got a while back and found a full Defender boardset that looks really good. I removed the board that I had been working on (that still needed ram) and put the clean one in to the cabinet.
It starts up and I can see text on the screen, but it's only about two inches high and is flipping too fast to see. I can make out a few words, but not enough to tell what is says. I have a spare WG4600 kit that I'll put into it in a few days and we'll see what happens.
Also discovered that a Rush'n Attack is a converted Defender. So now I have enough parts to build two complete machines. The newly found cab is really solid, but I'll have to try and save the original artwork that's under the black paint and Rush'n Attack decals.
I'll probably take all of the best parts and make into a dedicated Defender and use the spares to do a multi-Williams.
