So I got a Moon Patrol last fall, it was actually a complete disaster. It was mostly gutted and somebody painted it with really thick quality house paint. For decades it was simply converted to other games and then left for dead once the operators had gotten all they could. Then people pick parts from it left and right leaving even less meat on the bone. When I got it I swore I would return it back to the Moon Patrol and tonight I put the orginal monitor back in. I'm not powering anything up until I get some new capacitors but it looks and feels a lot more complete. People told me I was crazy, they told me it wasn't worth it, they told me it was not a smart decision. well, who's laughing now! The original control panel overlay was underneath and the artwork on the side is okay. I had to get new buttons and a stick. I'm still a little bit away but I can now say every time I do something to it it it's a little bit closer to the dream. And all those expert opinions be nothing
