If I got it, I wouldn't restore it, just MAME the hell out of it... ;D

Don't ever ask for help form me then. Or look at me. Or think of looking at me. Or come near me ect....
If it's a real mk1 cab with the dedicated sideart then it's extremely
valuable to mortal kombat collectors as it was the cab most often butchered into an mk2 cab.
So before you mame that cab, think about what Arcade Jesus would do. Arcade Jesus mamed for our arcade sins so that we wouldn't have to. ;)
(Note: Anyone offended by that last comment lacks a sense of humor and should lighten up. )

He's right. But if it's not a dedicated (say, a Dynamo) go to town.

definately a great buy if the monitor works, also dont listen to these "purists", MAME the hell out of it. unless its like a pacman or some super rare classic who cares its a wooden box =P the way i see it, unless they have something they want to give you in trade for it then they have no place to tell you not to do anything.
also this isnt directly targeted at the people who replied in this post, they were both non agressive in their opinions. I just hate people who are like threatening you to not do what you want with your own property.

I'd rather see him MAME a PacMan. There are thousands of them. MK, OTOH, not so much.
If it was a dedicated one (which I'm fairly sure it's not, they are quite rare) he could sell it @ profit, and buy a generic 25" cab.
pointdablame:
There's a great argument for restoring cabs though, so don't just say MAME away. Like any other hobby, a lot of people like to have something the same way it was when they first saw it, or how it was originally meant to be.
MAME it if you want, but also consider it may be rare or worth a lot to someone. Plus, its not that hard to build your own cab if you just wanna put a huge CP and a weird design together.
I'll be MAME'ing my Xmen cab, but I'll also be repairing the sideart, etc so that it looks just like it would have originally. So you can MAME without destroying, remember that.
