there's no end to that argument, everyone has their own opinion of what should/shouldnt be done with original cabs, and are entitled to their own opinion. my own stance on it is, if i purchase a cab, it is now my property, and i can do what i want with it. if someone told me they didnt like what i was doing to it, i would tell them to fk off. :)

The silly thing is that mame has done more to save and preserve machines by a thousand-fold than machines that are actually harmed. It is also relatively easy to mame a classic machine without harming it, either.
The other silly thing is I have no idea what this has to do with the thread topic. I think it is absolutely fantastic how much vision Bayne has for being relatively new to the hobby. Buying a rare cabinet and hacking it up wasn't on his radar, but coming up with a focused and unique cabinet was. The ironic part is that this guy is absolutely KLOV material, in the fact that he sees the value of a machine dedicated to one game, rather than trying to cram every game possible into one machine.

Maming an arcade game for one game is also crazy. Buy the original hardware.

Sure thing. Can you get me a working Star Wars boardset, power supply, AR-II Board and clean working color vector monitor for my Star Wars that's running MAME? My local Target store is all out.
