Burgertime(DECO) Newbie Needs Major Help.Where to Begin?!
Ok I am brand new to this whole arcade machine thing so I apologize ahead of time for my lack of knowledge.
I just purchased a cabinet which I thought was just something that was homemade.It turns out the cabinet was an old Burgertime machine (DECO), but the previous owner had taken out the PCB boards and sold them. The front control panel is also gone (he either sold it or can't find it but if he ever found it he said he would give it to me). The cabinet is wood on the sides and does not have the chef from the game on it.
Overall the whole thing is in pretty rough shape but he said the last time he used it, the monitor was working.
Where should I begin with this machine? Right now I am on the fence. Should I restore the machine to its original form or turn it into a Mame machine possibly.
It looks like the previous owner tried to install a cable that would hook the monitor up to a PC, but he either never finished it or got it to work properly he said.
Is it ok to plug in the machine and turn it on just to see what happens? I'm afraid something will break if I do, if the wires aren't set up correctly. The wires are majorly beat up and I think I will need a ton of help wiring everything.
Can anyone lead me in some sort of direction? I'm just trying to clean it up at the moment
