I purchased a Spy Hunter Upright off CraigsList. The machine is in good condition. It has the usual bumps and scraps, but the PCBs, controls and monitor all work well. I noticed that the outside of the cabinet had some strange anchor bolts sticking out of the front corners??? When I opened the front control panel this is what I saw... some douche cut 2x4s and used 6 x bolts to attach them into the cabinet!

Homeland Security - Arcade Division we are looking for you! Please claim you handy-work.

FYI - For those of you who haven't fixed a cabinet before. All you really need is a countersink bit, some stainless steel screws, 5 minute epoxy and a bar clamp. When the job is done fill the small holes with bondo and life will be good. Your work will last forever and look nice.

Maybe it used to live in a rough neighborhood? it definitly seems a bit excessive but if someone kept stealing my CP I'd probably do the same thing.
