Yep, you're right. I always forget this game. (A-Z journey through MAME has me in the Ns)

Defender parts are every where - not hard to locate and are cheap. I will stand my ground and claim the shortage is not PCB's it is the lack of dedicated cabinets.And yes Williams not Atari ;)
And I'll retract the word promote and instead use the word encourage. Yes the name may be BYOAC but there are countless threads showing MAME machines that were made out of Stargates, Jousts, Track and Fields to name just a few of course. And the fact is these machines get "Oh wow awesome, way to go, cool" which is that not encouragement? I'm not saying the owners didn;t do a nice job on the cabinet - just pointing out a fact. How often does a remark of "You couldn;t have found a crappy JAMMA cabinet to use - or you should've sold it to someone and found another cabinet". It's your cabinet and you have EVERY right to do what you want with it ... back to the "can't save em all" mindset.
And FWIW - my MAME cabinet is actually a Defender cabinet that came from an OP that had a crapload of cabinets refurbished and all originality was lost in the process making it generic. However what few original Defender parts that actually came with it were either donated to a needy person or sold on eBay.

Mine was a Track and Field, but there was nothing left of Track and Field when I got it (other than the tag inside, which is still there). I wish I hadn't painted it black, though. :lol

No offense to you or anyone else my friend. I don't mean to come across as an ass ... I cherish our beloved classics and honestly, I believe with every fiber of my being that when a person paints over a stenciled cab the chances of that getting restored is not likely to happen. You have in essence assigned this machine to an early grave. Maybe not - it's just how I view this whole scenario.

Well, whoever Jamma'd this thing out and made it a Double Dribble is responsible for the early grave, not me. Also, the sideart wasn't a stencil.
