Still in progress, but I'm just about done and thought I'd share this one - my 8th game:
I wasn't sure if this was a true restoration since I didn't really return a dedicated game to its original state. Instead, this is more of a clean-up or customization of a generic Dynamo HS9 to a Street Fighter: Hyper Fighting.

I picked up this cabinet off of Craig's List a few weeks ago. It was pretty beat up, had been painted several times, and was suffering some minor structural issues:
It had the standard Dynamo PCB shelf that slides out the front, and some random custom bezel graphic:
Started off by stripping the cabinet: Removed the PCB shelf & CPO, Coin Door, Monitor, Power Supply, Marquee, Etc...
In a few spots the various parts of the cabinet were not perfectly snug. I could see the separations and the wood dowels in between:
I fixed this by drilling holes all over the cabinet, on top of these much larger, shallow holes were drilled so I could counter-sink a bunch of deck screws. The tops were later bondo'd.
