Ya, I can get inside.  The coin door is open, and the back panel has a lock on it but was secured by only screws.  I was wondering mostly about the coin box, since it appears to be completely enclosed inside.  (Where the coins drop in).

Drill it, you'll have to buy a new lock anyway, and trying to pry it open from the front is just gonna damage it.

Or, sometimes (if this is an over/under door), you can get the whole door out of the machine, at which point that coin vault just pops off of it, and then you can take the lock apart from there.

Lilwolf:
You might want to take the coin door one apart first.  So you can see what you can destroy without worrying. 

Then there are a few people who are selling locks (Peale is I think and someone else, don't remember the name).  They are about 4 - 5 bucks shipped each.  Nice to have them all keyed together.   Its worth a buck extra to have ones that the key can be removed in the open position.

And I would vote for at least the arcadevga.  You can get away without the jpac.... but you will be buying a keyboard encoder anyway.  So you will have to rewire, speaker hack, and the jpac has some video stuff that you can buy seperately.  But I think you will find that the 'extra' price for getting the jpac instead of a ipac + extras + rewiring isn't worth it at all..   

Its also VERY nice to be able to throw an original board in your machine and run it.  I've passed on some really cool boards for cheap because I can't play them (when I was building my cab, no jpac, no arcadevga...  It was trident3d or no windows... and I didn't want to go there... to many great windows only emulators / arcade friendly apps)

Stobe:
Here's the first pics.  Forgive the terrible photography, I had very little space to work with when shooting.

Here's the profile.  I've used a little Goof Off on the red paint, and did not see any Food Fight art underneath.

Also, a pic of some damage on the top of one of the sides.  This is pretty much the worst spot on the whole cab.  Anyone have an idea on what I could do with it?

Did you hunt around inside the cab for keys? Sometimes operators would leave extra keys hanging inside the cab (usually inside, reachable through the coin door)

I didn't see any (yet I didn't go in with a flashlight yet).  And when I questioned Lloyd's son about keys, he searched real quick inside the cab and said I'd probably have to replace the locks.

No biggie for now.

Heres a couple pics of the coin door.  Not real good pictures, but I guess this is what you mean by over-under?
