Well, thanks to djdns and Steve23, I now own a Defender (YES!!!) Cocktail and a Robotron Cocktail. I'm very exited about both of them!

As you can tell, no level of excitement can hide the fact that I have A LOT of work to do. One of the cabs actually has a somewhat decent wiring harness...

The other one wasn't so lucky. Also, as you can tell, I am control panel-less and everything else important -less as of now. So, if you have anything, PLEASE shoot me a PM. until then, they have to stay like this:

So, overall, I am very happy knowing I own two great games. It seems like they need the world, but I'm still very grateful that they have fallen into my hands.

you sure one of those cabinets is defender or is that just your plan? Defender uses a 13" monitor and the wood frame for both tops looks like its cut to 19".

Now if I was going to build a defender cocktail, I would drop a 19" monitor into it..

I think I might still have a set of laminated or possibly the original instruction cards for a defender cocktail. Had one many years ago and thought it would be a good idea to copy it.

here is more inspiration..

Yeah, I'm pretty sure someone modified one of them to take a 19", and the other one naturally took it.. And those instruction cards...Let me know :)
 
just started cleaning out one of the cabs... these things have potential if I can get my hands on some parts. I already have a working 13" monitor for the Defender, so I need a 19" for the Robotron.. along with all the controls and such.
 
Hey, I have a line on a complete and working Robotron CT just north of Atlanta for $100. I was looking into buying it and having it shipped up here to NE. However, if you are interested, shoot me a pm and I will forward you my guy's contact info since you are so much closer to him.

Here is some more inspiration. I had the top glass cut and painted it black. My friend made the stainless toe panels. I put on the black glue on trim molding, repainted the black area and replaced the broken out speaker grill, etc, etc, Good luck with your projects

I GOT IT!!!!! Had to pay $200 since some douche from florida offered that much and planned on picking it up in January, but nonetheless, still a GREAT deal! Game is all there, but has a issue with constantly resetting. Will most likely need help. but THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIP!!!!! (Pics to follow)
