It's amazing the kinds of things you can get done when you don't have a girlfriend...

I picked up this NBA Jam cab that was converted to Planet Surf. It was in sad shape, but the price was right. $49 bucks, and it came with $4 in quarters. Game didn't work, 25" monitor didn't work, bill acceptor didn't work... That's okay.

A close up of the separating speaker cabinet. Nothing some wood glue and a new nail gun didn't take care of.

...and the 25" monitor that was blowing fuses:
