Long story short, of all the cabinets I own and ones that I want to get, my wife agreed to "allow" me to place a candy cabinet (most expensive one on my list, 🙄) in our living room. She thought they were cute and liked the idea of a smaller cabinet for my son and I to play on.........and the usually off-white color fits the aesthetic of our living room (I'll take what I can get 🙄.)

As I started to settle with the $2500 - $3500 price tag idea, low and behold someone in southern Arizona had a Sega Blast City for sale. The price was well under what I was preparing to spend. So I contacted the guy and picked it up.

Looking over the cabinet and assessing the condition it's in, there are some things im going to have to fix before I can bring it into the house. I would greatly appreciate any help from this great community that can point me in the right direction for some of the items.

Repairs/replacement:
  1. The service door is the wrong one as it's too wide to fit. Not sure what cab it came from. Willing to trade or purchase the right one.
  2. The monitor is a MS2933 and is in great shape from the looks of it. Though peeking inside I can tell it has the original caps it came with. Normally I would just do the cap kit but I read a lot of experiences that these chassis are delicate. Any pointers?
  3. The monitor bezel clip on the right side was broken, though found someone who created a 3d print of the casing.
  4. The control panel buttons and joystick panel is warped and has a sharp edge, I found a replacement.
  5. Missing locks on panel doors, I know it's 5575. I'll start looking for these unless anyone has them to sell.
  6. I'll have to remove the monitor and speakers to see if I can bend the speaker grills back into place.
I appreciate any help!

Wrong service door, this door for some reason is wider.
