I have questions for the driving game repair/resto experts

Okay,today I bought a Taito continental circuit cab and I would like to freshen it up a little. This cab is not in bad shape really but it is in worse shape than all of my other cabs and it has not been shopped. I will list my personal issues with it.......

The steering wheel is not centered when the car is travelling straight and it has a little resistance when steering. I have a world rally cab just like this and when I spin the steering wheel and let go it spins forever like it's on ball bearings, I want this wheel to spin the same way. The wheel is in this position when the car is going straight.

Are there other cabs that have this slide out drawer? Or is this something someone made?, I think so. Would you guys recommend leaving the PCB here even though it plays fine with no issues?

I want to replace the T-moulding,is the uplifting of it coming from age or is it just cheap stuff? It's like it does not want to conform to the curves. Is the moulding made these days a softer material?

I want to clean the PCB up and replace any components that should be replaced after 23 years of use. Which of these components should be changed if any? I know nothing about these games internally so if someone can identify the following pieces it'd be appreciated.Also where is the battery,my scores are not being saved.My expertise is in cars and trucks not cabs lol . Christ, I need some books on repair and troubleshooting.

Why are there three main boards? Is this 1 sound,2 PCB?
