I have a Track and Field cab (#008727) that was converted to Rastan before I bought it. I want to get rid of Rastan. Herein lies my question: what to put in the cab? The two choices I'm debating between are 1) put the Track and Field cab back together the way it was originally or 2) Put in a Jamma Multicade.
Now I should start by saying that I'm not a real big fan of Track and Field. If I put it back together it would really be just for restoration's sake. I think it's always best to save the originals whenever possible. As for the Multicade, it would just be a 19-1 with the classics. I already have a MAME Viewlix cabinet under construction.

Either way, I don't want to sink a ton of money into it. I'd like to know that I can at least get out of it what I put into it. Any opinions from the forum experts would be greatly appreciated.

If you Multi it, ensure you put a control panel on that's too wide for any door of a house.

Nice!

My MAME control panel is a monstrous 4-player thing. For the Track and Field Cab I was going to do something like the attached Multicade control panel if I took it that way.

I don't think you're going to be happy with the 19-in-1 after using a newer build of MAME on your other cabinet. I'd want it back to original, but I think Track & Field is a great game.
 
Find someone who wants a track and field, trade them for a generic cab to multi.

What he said.

Dont bother restoring it since you would be hella lucky to break even. That's unless you made it minty fresh. But you would still have trouble finding a buyer for a primo machine at a premium price.

Choices, in this order:

*Sell it
*Restore to Track & Field
*Burn it
*Multi it
 
Definitely convert it back to a track and field... It's such a great game! One of my favorites.... I restored one to minty condition for my collection,and couldn't be happier with it.
