sometimes this hobby is really exhausting...
I have ONE color vector game - Star Wars. And this is the one cab I try to just play and have yet to attempt anything maintenance related with it as I am very afraid to touch the vector monitor and break it.
Well, I am still working on the layout and setup of my basement arcade and I decided to move this and the f'n think collapsed! The back left base of the cabinet gave out. I carefully got it up on the dolly to look and it is pretty bad. I don't see water damage but it was put on wheels at some point which was why I thought I could easily move it.
I wedged a piece of wood under the back corner for now so the cabinet sits level and it still works (thank god!).
My question is how do you repair this? Do I have to completely replace the base of the cabinet? This is way beyond any body work I have done so far. At this point, I kind of just want to leave it on the piece of wood, however lame that is, just because it does still work and as a stopgap I guess this is ok short term.
