So I picked up this game that had been advertised for $200 for a couple of months and then for $100 for a month or so. I'd say the cabinet is about a 3.5/10. The bottom has some water damage and someone had screwed a couple of 1 x 4 on the bottom. The front of the floor was collapsing and the machine basically rocked like a rocking chair until the chewed up side panels touched the ground.
The monitor and electronics are perfect. One button is missing, but the game plays great with the other button and joystick. The cardboard bezel is saggy, but I can probably stiffen it up and paint it to make it useful. I had to replace the speaker panel above the monitor and I did that today after I stitched up the sagging cabinet with a couple of dozen decking screws. I screwed some levelers on the bottom and a new starter in the marquee light and this thing is now structurally sound and functional. The t-molding grooves are filled up with silicone adhesive and I'm not sure how I'll clear them out.
I'm trying to make this thing presentable without hacking it up any more than I have already so maybe instead of swearing at me and calling me names, some of you guys might be able to help me out a bit with a suggestion or two on how to make this thing presentable. For those of you who haven't cussed me out yet, thanks.
