The "In Other Words, You Ruined It" Thread

We are very proud of the detail work we have done on this game. I've had this original cocktail game saved for many years. We gutted the cabinet and installed a new harness, power supply, pcb, and flat screen monitor. We preserved the original Defender game instructions, and hand polished the control panel overlay and buttons, which is original to the game, replaced the bulbs with color changing LED's and modified the joystick to a 4 way so that it properly plays all of the above games. We made some very attractive corners covered with lexan which adds to the attractiveness.

(And the BIN price is $2,650.00)
 
From the listing:

If you are a collector and appreciate remaining true to the game cabinet configuration, this is for you.

Yeaaaaahhhh...not so much.

Yo dawg, did Xzibit write this?
 
Is this ruined or an upgrade?

I didn't think it was possible to turn crap into crap turbo...
 
I see the cabinet, but where's the "high quality arcade stick"?

Is this ruined or an upgrade?

Ha! Crap turbo...

I never liked those Midway toy cabinets. They're pretty insulting to Midway's and William's legacy. You can see hundreds of them pop up in Colorado.

The X Arcade stock controls pale in comparison to the competition. Why would X Arcade try to fix what isn't broken? Cost cutting? Pfft.

The only useful part of the X Arcade sticks is the box/control panel that holds everything in.

I think you can flip one of those on its back, cut a hole in the bottom and turn it into a cat box without ruining it.
