It currently had no game board in it and I'm kinda talking him out of doing anything with it so he may sell the cabinet as is. I may even buy it from him.

Haha, that game conversion your talking about isn't THAT bad *ducks* haha, but seriously the guy that has that got it like that, can't blame him.

I saw the thread title and cringed so hard. That won't be too hard to restore, the marquee exists as a repro. The hardest part is going to be that control panel, as I don't think anyone had done new metal for it.

Post by: mgb on December 28, 2012, 10:56:46 pm: Yeah it is definitely not past the point of being saved. the original power block is still in the bottom of the cabinet too.
there is a little wood rot on the lower edges.
