can you post some pictures of the cabinet?  all of those thing probably don't matter.  what matters is your patience in restoring it.

Ms.Pacman in a MK Cab?  :blowup:

Does it say "Fighhhttt!" or "fi-ka, fi-ka,fi-ka, fi-ka,fi-ka, fi-ka" in a low intimidating voice?

congrats man...show pictures...I'm going to be racking my brain over that one for a while..." a ms.pacman in a mk cabinet...WTF?..."
