Found a Cabinet on side of road...

Hello,
I found a Frogger cabinet on the side of the road where I live today :)
It seems to be in great shape and has all the components; monitor, pcb board, control panel...
It doesn't seem to work at the moment.  When I power it up I hear the monitor buzz but nothing seems to show up :(
I might do a few tests to see if I can pinpoint the problem.
If I still can't get it to work I might just convert it to a mame cab.
I was wondering if you could maybe provide me with some suggestions.
Thank you very much :D
I've taken the T-molding off, going to get a new roll.
The 4 way joystick and buttons are leaf switch and appear to be in very good condition.

Does it have the sideart, it that in good condition.  Looks like a little touchup paint and tmolding it would be good to go.

Personally I'd goto ebay and get replacement parts for frogger.


Edit:  Actually, it looks in great shape, like not much for scratches on coin door.  I definately would just watch ebay then.

I wouldn't mame a frogger myself....

For one thing it's one of the few unique looking cabs out there.  Nothing else uses that design.  

Also it has a control panel that isn't well-suited for hacking as it's metal and un-ergonomic.  

Lastly it's vertically oriented and although you could rotate it, you wouldn't to be able to use the sweet frogger bezel.  

Frogger nos parts are still widely available.  Since you got it for free I would suggest trying to spend some cash restoring the cab instead of mameing it.

I'm not entirely sure this is an original frogger(could be wrong though).
The inspection sticker says frogger and doesn't seem to have been converted.
There is no sideart just the simulated wood grain like the lower front of cabinet.
You guys know of any websites that deal with troubleshooting these old monitors?
I'll give ebay a try see what I find :)

thanks

I know there is frogger sideart, I wonder if it was designed for conversions...
