I got this non-working back in January of last year.After a week of troubleshooting I finally got it working. The cabinet has pretty bad water damage on all four sides of the bottom,but oddly the very bottom is good. I started ripping off the bad layers and decided that I would build them back up with bondo.In the photo's you can see just how far up the water wicked into the particle.Fast forward to today 2/9/10 and the cab is still not finished.After staring at the game for about 20 minutes tonight I think I'm ready to do something with it. I see myself having three options,sell it as is,part it out and destroy the cabinet,or destroy the cabinet and keep the rest until I find an empty cabinet. The cabinet is just too far damaged for me to even want to finish it,and it's too ugly to be shown but looks fine in the dark since no one knows what it truly looks like but me. I would love to keep it as I always wanted one since 1987 but at the same time I found some pins that I want and need room for them. What do you guys think?I'd have some more motivation if it were'nt so hard to find another dedicated cabinet. Whats a full Contra kit go for these days anyway? Never seen one for sale here.
