Need advice on what to do with my Donkey Kong/Lee Trevino Fighting Golf

I bought what appeared to be a working, dedicated Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf for $30. I had one picture from a camera phone. I get there, and it is a LTFG in a DK Nintendo cabinet. It was painted over, and there doesn't seem to be me much left that is DK.

I never wanted LTFG, I thought I was getting a cheap working Jamma cabinet. So, I'm looking for ideas about what YOU would do with it. I have just the cab, no marquee, no board, no monitor (LTFG is horiz). (Throwing it away is not an option, I'm in way to deep to toss it. $30 doesn't grow on trees, you know?)

Pics, and details on my blog in my sig...

I'm fairly certain the monitor is a Sanyo, but haven't confirmed. Can I literally just mount it the other direction and it will magically become a vert monitor when using a DK PCB?

Short answer...Yes. it should. The DK PCB dispalys the vert image, However you may have to play with the sync adjusments.
Is the wiring harness still intact, or is there some hack action going on?
 
heres my take.... its already been hacked right?
is lee trevinos a jamma game??


either way i think id at least resro the cabs appearance back to donkey kong...
and mabye for the internals run a 60 in one in there....

im sure some people are cringing, but this cabs already been hacked, a multi dk cab is better then the state its in now thats for damn sure.
 
and sadly, to the general public, youd have a more desirable/valuble game bieng dk looking with multi versus just a dedicated dk...

this post has made me want to build another multi..... dangit!
 
So, to get the internals out (so that I can repair the outside and repaint), do I just unplug the board, discharge the monitor, remove the PS? Is there a checklist or order to things that I should refer to. I don't really want to get shocked.
 
If your just removing the monitor from the cab you shouldn't need to discharge it. If it makes you feel safer you can though. Just unplug the machine and then carefully remove the PCB and monitor and you should be fine. There really is no need to remove the PS if you ask me, Unless your gonna recap it.
