I have a chance at a Black Widow... it's a vector game I've wanted for some time now... unfortunately the cabinet is just about shot. Severe water damage... chunks missing... etc.
It appears to be fully functional though....
Worth the effort? I am not sure if I can save the cab... and this is the first cab of that style (BW/Gravitar/Space Dual) that I've come across in the 5 years I've been doing this.
I am leaning toward pulling the trigger... because it IS a game I want... but damn... it's going to be ugly for some time... and I usually tend to restore all my games but this one may be too much...
(that said, having seen the guy restore that water logged Q*Bert I know it's not an impossibility).
Opinions?
