I do not know how much restoration I will be able to do on them, but I recently got two arcade machines.
In spite of just being recently laid off, I bought this little beauty just this past Friday.

(The Sinistar thing is just a bit of an inside joke at the Chex Quest Fan Forums.)
By chance, after I got it home, I recognized that particular cabinet as one that had been in a local arcade for many years.
I also was given another machine by the husband of one of my coworkers about three months ago (before I was laid off). Because I have no room for it (Please not the angled ceiling in the video above.), I have been keeping it out at my brother's place. There it had a close call with some flooding that ruined a number of the walls around it, but the feet happened to be fully extended, and it managed to stay above the water.
Here's more video ...

So that's what I am playing with at the moment.
Wish me luck.
