Here's the story:
A guy on craigslist was giving away 4 arcade cabs for free...and i did a spur of a moment to rush and see and maybe get the cabs...Ive been itching to do another project (this will be my second) and I lost out on a chance to get a DK cab ( Severdhed got one why cant I ? :hissy:)

The guy lived 2 hours away. Got to the guy's house and he had 2 Universal cabs ( Lady Bug, Mr.Do) and two generic Namco cabs... They had the monitors and coin doors, but the owner was unsure if they had everything else...he never turned them on and you could tell they were missing other parts...
On a scale from 1-10...i'd say 3-6, with the Ladybug cab condition being 6...

The attachments are the photos i took ( crappy cell phone) of the Universal cabs when i got home with them...I took the Namcos and they are sitting in an old tobacco barn my family owns.

My main goal was to strip the cabs and use the parts....but that lady bug body looks like it can be salvaged and converted...

Well the cabs had locks (with no keys) so i took a drill and got them loose...The Ladybug was empty...The Mr.Do however had EVERYTHING...I plugged it in and it works...but I think there is some issue with the monitor...its like the screen wants to pucker toward the bottom ....

Right now I am trying to decide what to do before i dive into the abyss...should i mame it?...should i convert it to another game of my liking?... or strip it bare and use the parts on another stratch build...
I am so tired from hauling those cabs...

( sorry if i sound like I'm rambling, I am excited over this, plus having lack of sleep,and no mountain dew to keep me company)

Usually if the lock has a number on it, you can get a key cut for it. much less trouble than drilling it out.

Where can I go to get a key made ? A locksmith? reason why is that i manage to get ahold of a Space Invaders 2  cocktail table and I dont have the key for it either...I know the locks say "7900"
