I'm new to arcades, After I built a mame 2 player bartop, I got ahold of a robotron dirt cheap, It's a bit beat up and was not booting. I'm documenting my restore process on youtube. The first video I ask a lot of questions that have since been answered.
I'm open to any criticism or tips. The current snag I'm having is finding the right metallic silver paint
I was really lucky to find that all the parts were original. Everything is there. The bezel is in great shape, and the marquee is flawless. Cabinet wood is structurally sound, but a little beat up. The Plywood was coming apart at the bottom from the lack of leg levelers minor water damage on the MDF on the top. The previous owner/operator screwed cabinet where it was coming apart at the bottom. Yuck.
