Before moving to the UK, I picked up this Q*Bert in Orlando. It spent quite a few years outside by a pool. As you can see by the pics, it looks like it spent some time in the pool...
Insides have been JAMMA-tised/ hacked (strangely with a bootleg Q*Bert) with only the original power brick and some wiring remaining. I have all the parts I need to get this working (minus a complete wiring harness) and would love to get this nicelly restored. I certainly want it electronically working..
Issue is, the cab is in *BAD* shape. What hasn't swelled is rusty. I dealt with some swelling before (STARGATE) and had good results grinding the swelled wood out, filling, hardener, paint etc... However, this is way beyond this.
I highly doubt I'll ever find a donor cab in the UK, and I don't want to take on a new build.
What do you think?
