Ugh... those pictures, it's like looking at the site of a massacre.
I think I'm going to cry too.We need to start a "Doctors without Borders" kind of organization, where we parachute into scenes like that and carry off the games on stretchers to improvised repair/triage centers.

Not a fan of the Pac, but the other two are great.
I really try to restore and not multicade if i can, i wish i had before pics.
Had 3 coats of oil based forest green paint and vs stickers over the pac stencils and horrible VS top gun conversion. so after stripping you could only barely make out the pac figure.
so without a stencil or sideart kit for super pac and no super pac parts it was to the burn pile or multicade.

And with this post I note that images that are on forums.klov.com aren't viewable on forums.arcade-museum.com, and vice versa. Can someone let Greg know to change the .httaccess to allow this to happen?

I might as well post some of my own efforts with my Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom cab, although it still has a LONG way to go before being anything worth bragging about. These pictures just show the most significant damage, I have since successfully removed the cracked front panel without killing everything else, and have the replacement 1/2 way done and just need to cut in the coin door. The rotten bottom of the right side panel I'm going to saw off about 4 inches up and try to biscuit a replacement in place(thanks for the inspiration Cadillacman!), fortunately the left side is almost perfect so I'm going to use it as a template.

Unfortunately the side art is going to have to go, and as the pictures show the control panel overlay needs replacement as well, so if anybody knows of a source PLEASE tell me. One of the pics is of the front panel removed.
By the way, if you want to see a full picture of the cab look up the KLOV listing, apparently someone posted the picture used in the Ebay auction I bought it from, I recognize the damage and the credit button drilled in the front panel.

Here's a couple of mine. The cabinets weren't falling apart, but the before and after pics sure show a big change.

Here's Mine.
It was a Donkey Kong from junk that at one point was Looping.
To this:
And, yeah, I know I should have kept it Red! That was a long time ago, before everyone was nuts about the red.

Awwww, I LIKE Looping!
LOL
I hope you kept the PCB if it came with it, working examples of Looping are tough to find!

The PCB's were long gone when I got it. Too bad too. The only time I've played it was on a Colecovision. Got the CP if anyone is interested.
