Did you toss that in the swimming pool? Or did you pull a noice and blast it for a bit at the car wash?
 
Not the worst I've seen, but pretty bad.

This would have been a good reason to pick up the free stripped Space Fury cab that popped up here recently...
 
that is a donor machine.. could they have put this game in an uglier cabinet.

Pull its heart, brains, and kidneys. dump the body
 
You guys are crazy! That's TOTALLY restorable. A barrel or two of woodhardener and Bondo, and you should be all set...to take a match to it!

I'd like to see an entire cabinet made up of bondo. That would make my day. :)
 
ive seen entire bottom halfs of cars that were made of bondo. one hard speed bump and hald the quarter panel would have broke off and shattered on the street
 
Today I wheeled this beast out into the sunlight and took a few more pics. The whole cab is pretty much toast and feels like it could collapse under it's own weight. But by far, the worst part of this thing is the smell, it reeks.

Sadly, the neck tube is broken. The guy that sold this to me, and yes, I paid an extravagant $40 dollars for it, let me pull a nice looking Electrohome out of an even worse looking cab.

Not knowing what else to do, I began by pulling parts off the cabinet. I removed the hosed monitor and control panel, then pulled the PCB/power supply. I was impressed with the cardboard monitor shroud thing. They took the time to build a frame for it, and this one looks to be in perfect condition.

I managed to cut a few of the new panels for the bottom section, before my ADD kicked in. For these cuts I use a router, and by clamping it to a strait edge, can get a pretty accurate cut. I then use the same router bit, clamp the piece to a sheet of MDF and make an exact copy for the opposite side.
