Ok, what do you need to "restore" if I may ask? That cabinet looks in VERY good condition!?

Nice score!

Interesting it has a lower door for the coin-bucket.  I suppose that is a euro Tron feature?

Did I see in one of the pics that you are missing the MCP translight in the back?

Do you know where i can buy a new or repro "lower door for the coin-bucket" ?

This cab was made in Italy, here's the specs :



And hopefully, I got the MCP translight in very good condition ( was removed while the transport ) :



by the way, I love your website  :-*

Thanks for help...

 You're right, the Gauntlet Legends cabinet is a real monster... and hopefully it's not located on the first floor  :)
