Is it wrong to transfer the guts of an Asteroids cocktail, and put them into a mini that resembles the original mini by Atari?

Transfering Asteroids cocktail guts into a mini
« on: April 24, 2008, 01:59:52 pm »
I got a good deal on an Asteroids cocktail. It's rough and dirty.. missing top glass, and monitor needs repair.

Anyways, I love cabarets (minis) more and have a generic empty mini that is pretty much the same shape as an Atari Asteroids mini is.

Who would think it blasphemous  if I swapped the guts of the cocktail into this mini and dressed up the mini to look as close to an Atari mini as possible?  :)

NO MORE!!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

I have an AD cocktail that I would transfer if I could only find a mini to put it in.  I could reproduce one since I have a full woodworking shop in my garage, just need some plans for the cabinet.
