Take a gander at what I picked up this weekend:

It was originally a Dig Dug, manufactured in 1982 by Atari. It has gone through a couple of changes since new however.

As you can see, someone has changed the monitor's orientation from vertical to horizontal...also, the Player 1 stick has been changed to what looks like a happ competition stick (which clicks loudly and appears to be pretty much garbage).
Also, one player 1 leaf button has been replaced with a microswitch style. The player 2 CP remains stick with a leaf 4-way stick (Wico?) and leaf buttons.
There is a large PCB with HUGE caps and a large heatsink at one side of the cabinet (sound amp?) and the other side is empty except for the bracket at the bottom for the PCB.
This cabinet was converted to a Rally X at some point...
The bottom contains what appears to be two transformers?
This cabinet was sold to me with the understanding that the monitor (an Electrohome G07 13" monitor) was dead...he said one day it just stopped working. Take a look at what I found when I got home and pulled the monitor out...

Yup...that sure looks like a loose groundwire to me. It was stuck only 1/2 way in the molex connector... I am guessing that is the problem...but we shall see.
The wood appears to be in pretty decent condition. The plexiglass top will need to be replaced. The artwork (what is left) is shot. The CPS are in good shape with the CPO's in OK shape.
Here is another shot...

Not a bad deal for
$50.00?? Even if the monitor DOESN'T work...
Now...what to do with it. I have a 15" PC monitor that would fit in that space...but I would have to run it horizontal if I did that but it would save me some dough as I wouldn't have to purchase a JPAC/ArcadeVGA card...but instead would just have to get an IPAC...
...but most cocktail games are vertical...and vertical games on a 15" monitor horizontally would suck something fierce....
...then there is the question of if I should even MAME it. It would be very simple to just drop a dig dug board in, get some artwork, paint it up, and have a restored Dig Dug cocktail... but that is actually the most expensive route.
Hmmm..
