This may apply to Taito operation Wolf too as I've read they have the same style cabinet.

So, I picked up a Taito Double Dragon a few weeks ago that had signs of water damage at one point. I drilled the lock out and the drawer pulled out fairly easy. I pulled it the rest of the way out so I could clean up mold underneath it. Replaced the power supply, slid the drawer back in.. got stuck about 3/4s of the way in as pictured.

Is there something I'm missing here? Like am I just not doing it right or because of water damage / warping am I going to have to trim the drawer some then seal the cut with molding? Figured I'd run it by you guys before just hacking at it.

That cardboard that lines the drawer - check in the back where the vertical pieces meet at the corner. They tend to separate there and can bunch up and create issues. Take off the back panel and take a look from above when the drawer sticks.
 
Thanks. I'm not sure exactly how but I just got it fixed by..

1. Re-positioning the furniture sliders to the supporting wooden rails better
2. Stepping on the bowing floor of the machine a bit (gently)
3. Shaved one corner that was hitting the front panel slightly
4. Slid it in as straight as possible.

Once I got the end in that I shaved, I was able to pull on the front panel as I pushed the other side in, repeated a few times.. done! Whew.

Eventually the bottom of the machine should have the wood replaced to make it perfect, but this works for me for now.
