star wars arcade cabinet partial restore
abzman2000:
I have a star wars upright arcade cabinet from craigslist. The restore I will have to do is going to be more time consuming than any I have seen in my 2 years of research and 6 months of having every post from this forum sent to my rss reader. A hint at how bad it is: someone into arcade restoration (usenet) gave it away for free, and after 2 days of explaining, to what was probably a lot more discerning group of people than than me, it's condition.
and obviously pics will follow, I just need to find and charge my camera

I'm sure there is a lot of original plastic that can be recovered from your find, + a lot of love.
Good luck, look forward to seeing pics (however bad) - I love SW ... forever!

another hint at the condition, there is no decorative plastic left (didn't know that when I went to pick it up and the reason for not fully restoring)
The reason I left it in the main forum is because I intend to restore the sideart, and get a star wars marquee (nos or origital), but because of the condition I plan to mame it while not purchasing original plastic and control panel because I don't have the funds. I plan to keep it, so if I ever do get the cash I can restore it fully, but until then all I want is a cabinet that looks like it flows so someone who has never seen a star wars cab would think it original.

Have mercy on the poor SW upright sole. Let it go. To MAME it would be a travesty of the highest order. I am pretty sure there are some out there who'd trade a JAMMA cab you can beat-up on all day long for the SW cab. MAME + SW Cab = Very very bad. The arcade gods would surely frown upon thee' forever making your arcade collecting/restoring years mired in misery.
