Ok, so I know that some people will not be happy with this, but I really liked the layout and how this ended up so I wanted to share... BTW for those of you who go toooooo crazy, someone paid me 1200 to do this, and...the cabinet was just about to be moved outside, so while it's not a complete save, I think this is better than junk... BTW everything freaking rusts in Hawaii!!!!

(Yes I have a guilt complex a mile wide about doing this, and that's why I restored the Ms Pac and the two Space Invaders cabs on my dime...)

Re:

It's ok, at least all you got to do is replace the control panel and it will be cosmetically back to normal.
 
Looks like it can be easily reverted back to normal. If the art is destroyed or the cab sides are cut I can understand people being upset.
 
I had been considering doing this with my Dig Dug.

That's why I gave away my extra Dig Dug control panel ... so I wouldn't drill a bunch of needless extra holes in it.

I am happy with my decision, but it sure would be nice to fire up the Dig Dug and play a game of Qix from time to time. :p

I decided to make a custom CPO for mine (note the extra `shroom)....
 
I like the extra shroom! I actualy did a "custom" cpo, but it consisted of having the player one and play 2 start icons removed. I later realized I could have just had them relocated, but the art had already been printed. I should have taken a before. I set this up with a Jamma Harness and multiboard, I had a few different boards in there, but it will endup with an AS multi. I did gut the Electronics (Except the isolation transformer) because both the power supply and board weren't working :(
 
Bah - no harm no foul. The conversion was done very nicely and easily reversible if ever wanted or needed. Kudos to you.

BTW - adjust the damn monitor and get rid of the black border ;)
 
Looks nice. I have considered doing that to a Centipede I have. Also considering a multi in a Kangaroo as I don't think that would be a 'loss' at all.
 
Thanks for the kudos. Still waiting for my AS board before adjusting the monitor again (been board swapping) and yes, original cardboard blue bezel
