For those who have done work in line with replacing disintegrating or swollen MDF on Atari cabinets do you recommend plywood as a substitute or MDF?
I have to cut off and replace the wood at the bottom of both sides of a Pole Position II cabinet and was initially thinking of using plywood as a replacement along with wood braces inside the cabinet, but I was wondering what everyone thought about using MDF instead since that was the original material used.
I'd edge glue the new pieces in, but I would still use wood strips to brace where the edges join. (After that would be Bondo, prime and paint).
Thanks.
