I found this cabaret arcade on FB market yesterday. Picking up this Wednesday. Looks like a ATW Arctic cab that was converted to a 60-in-1. I watched an episode of TNT (ep 1575). Todd shows off a dedicated cabaret Mr, Do!. The cab made by Artic/ATW in Taiwan. Not sure what this originaly was, but I would love to bring it back to a Mr. Do!. Todd was painted flat black, but the "Mars" version flyer I have seen also sports woodgrain. I can't find and flyers or photos of a Mr. Do! version. I wonder if the original CRT bezel exists or a scan? I have a minty fresh K7000 19" monitor a buddy gave me. The monitor looks pretty rough in the cab. Wonder if it uses a 19"? Should be a fun project. My holy grail was always an original dedicated "Universal" cab Mr Do!, but this is pretty awesome as well. Any flyers, photo's, sites, videos, links to parts, cool info, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

I checked Overtime Arcade's video on the BitKit2. Pretty cool board. But Mr. Do! is not supported. I will get it up and running with the 60-in-1 first that comes with it, just to test. I have an actual Mr. Do! PCB. Not tested, so I don't know if it's toasty...haha. I got a roll of lime green t-moulding. Not sure if I will get some woodgrain vinyl, or just recoat the black? Still looking for examples of Arctic/Mr.Do! cabs in the wild.
 
@FlashbackArcade knows the most about these cabs.
Did a quick and dirty restoration to get it going for now. Paid $80 for the cab, and about $50 in parts. So $130 so far. Got the artwork photoshopped and printed as a poster at Walgreens. I love the original CPO design, and tried to copy it the best I could. I do want to make a better CPO design. When I took off the multi-cade CPO I found it was what I think was a "Mars" due to the twin stick holes and mounting spots. I did a quick cleanup with simple green and glass cleaner. The coin counter said only 00106. So either the logic board dies an early death and it was converted to a multi-cade, or the counter stopped working. The monitor was some wicked screen burn. I could just put a tinted cover, or I could drop in my like new k7000 a friend just gave me? It's now running as a single game on the 39-in-1 that was in there, but I would love to get my original Mr Do! PCB up and running. The florescent tube needs to be replaced, sides repainted, coin door repainted, and circular Mr Do! logo stickers on the sides. Any info or other ideas as how to further restore this cab?
