Best way to fix up my arcade cabinet without taking it apart?
<< < (2/3) > >>
Doom bucket:
Hmm... if I work on it, throw it away, whatever, I'll still have to move it. How can I hold it together to keep it from falling apart while moving it?
daywane:
I would cut off the bad first.
put in some nailer boards in all 4 corners.

Hi,

You could screw/bolt blocks of wood into the base of the cabinet to keep the bottom from falling out or alternatively fit alloy angle iron around the base of the cabinet on the outside.

I agree with ami-man....
Seems to me that you are trying to salvage what you can untill you HAVE to junk it...
Take some 2x4, screw them on the interior of the cab ( square frame) and srew the crap out of the base on the 2x4 also...

And  put some wheels on the there while you are at it, will raise up the bottom from getting more tore up and make it easier to move. Wheels are pretty cheap 4 for less than $15 at harbor freight.
