So I picked up this cab last week at auction. One of those "here's one picture...buy it or not" kind of deals.
It's a Dig Dug. Cab is in OK shape, no water damage. Side art is there, waiting to be revealed under a craptastic roller paint job.
When I picked up the cab, the monitor's neck board was snapped in half. I swapped out the G07 for a spare I had, and she fires right up. Arch Rivals - God what a game this is. I think I had fun playing it for about 17 seconds.
Anyway, the question begs: de-convert or flip it?
From what I see, I'll need several things to get this cab back to Dig Dug:
If I try to sell it, I'm afraid I'll be lucky to get $200 for it. I have $100 into it now. I'm not sure it's worth the $100 I'll get to sell it. I think for about $200 or so I could probably collect all the parts I need to de-convert it and I'll have a dedicated Dig Dug cab for for around $300 and some elbow grease.
Thoughts? Save it or sell it?

From what I see, I'll need several things to get this cab back to Dig Dug:
- Marquee
- CPO
- bezel
- Cab wiring
- ARII board
- Game PCB
- CP hardware (cone buttons, joystick, leaf buttons)
