First post here, although far from my first post over at Neo-Geo.com where I may already know some of you.
Neo-Geo.com was a good starting point for my first Project, a CMVS system (With PICS!)

But now I've just bought a midway cocktail cabinet off craigslist and I plan to go about restoring it into a Galaga/Ms Pacman cocktail. The cab is, as far as I can tell, an original Gorf cocktail that looks like it's undergone a few minor repairs over the years. It's currently not working but according tot he previous owner, it was all perfectly functional until the monitor went out (original 19" G07) although now I get lights and ventilation fan and nothing else, so either the audio went out too or Gorf crapped out.
I wanted to run it with a modern Pacman/Galaga reunion board so I'm not sure how much of the original Gorf hardware is compatible. I'm not sure if a modern board can, or should be run off a 1981 Gorf powersupply.
I'm sure I'll have gobs of questions throughout the process, and depending on what I do, might have a complete set of Gorf hardware for sale at some point (pending it's operational abilities).
Here's a few quick ugly phone pics of the cab and internals.
