There are just no words... I can't comprehend this..
Kevin Mullins:
You should see my hacked up - half assed JAMMA-tized used to be a VS. used to be a DK used to be a RadarScope red Nintendo cabinet that now also has a 25" monitor in it.
There ain't squat left in it Nintendo, might as well be an empty shell.
She ain't pretty that's for sure..... what to do, what to do ? :P
But it's a prime example of "how far is too far gone" ?
And what to do with it now ?

Same here...... just another way of looking at thing I guess.
Or at least looking at what's in front of you and deciding what to do with it from there. ;)

It makes you think that at what point does it just become an empty shell of wood? Some would say that the Defender cabinet can be saved, but some would say that it is and always was just a shell of wood.
With a gutted cabinet, what's the point of restoring a hacked-up, painted-over, no-sign-of-the-original-electronics cabinet when you can get the blueprints form jakobud and the stencils from REDACTED?
Philosophy aside... that guy's nuts, order a Defender marquee and find a nice CP on ebay and fix that mess. !!!!! :soapbox:
(but I'm definitely digging the Williams Bally pinball coindoor ;D , that's a keeper!)
Ginsu Victim:
Some of them came with the Williams pinball coindoor. My friend's Defender that was lost in the fire came with a Black Knight coindoor. Everything in the cab had matching serial numbers and the coin door matched the rest.
Kevin Mullins:
But take another look at THAT particular coin door from the original post. ;)
Ginsu Victim:
Meh....guess I don't know enough about pins to know what I'm supposed to notice (other than them being different).
