I never thought I'd see the day when I'd find an arcade in the trash locally, but it turns out I just got lucky (maybe)and scored a beat up Arkanoid cabinet!

What had happened was that I went down to my local flea market yesterday to scope it out one last time and ended up running into the man whom I had purchaced my SI off of, we ended up shooting the shit for a good 15 minutes when this random guy holding a Dallas Cowboys popcorn tin comes up and says "Arcades huh? Either of you folks interested in one?", the other guy and I say we weren't interested in buying any to which he states "It's free, its in the dumpster by the bookstore in <local college redacted>", which just so happened to be the very college I attend

long story short I drove down after work today and didn't bring any of my loading stuff because i figured it would be snatched up already but sure as shit there it is, slightly watered due to the fact it had just started raining

The cab itself is in rough shape, the side edges next to the CP have been chewed up to almost nonexistance and the wood around the coin door is cracked, and I don't know if any rain got in it or why it was thrown out so I guess I'll have to take a look tomorrow. At least the marquee is in great shape and the CP itself is good too

I'll post pics tomorrow as it is too dark at the moment

the question is, while I do like arkanoid, do I want to convert this over to a dig dug if possible (once the major stuff is fixed)? Or do i keep this stock?
