I purchased a Frogger for $75.

It was Non-Working, just showing garbage. I put in a switching power supply and re-did the sync wires and got the monitor / game working. Now it's time to restore.

The sides were in good shape so I just touched them up a bit. The Cpo was pretty bad though, time to restore it :

Just a little more about what I had to do.

Coin Door :.

Coin door was taken apart and lightly sanded. It wasn't in real bad condition so I didn't strip it. The front has hammered paint and the rest was not. So I just painted over it with Rustoleum flat black epoxy.
The stainless steel parts were cleaned and fine steel wool was used to polish them.
New keyless lock was added.

Cab:.

All black parts were sanded and re-painted. The back and top was done in Rustoleum Flat black. The front was done in Rustoleum Satin Black.

New smooth black T-Molding was put on.

Bezel:

Black bezel was cleaned and repainted with Krylon Fuson flat black.

New plexiglass was put on. Cut on table saw with finishing blade backwards.

PCB:

HSSK was done by me :

Really nice work man! I love the way a restored Frogger cab looks. I miss mine every day. Amazing that you were able to restore it with the original woodgrain intact. I tried doing that but mine just had too many issues, especially around the edges. I ended up redoing mine in countertop laminate. I found a close match, but couldn't find a woodgrain pattern that had as much black in the grain lines as the original did. On the stuff I used, there are finer black lines present, but the larger grain lines are more reddish:
