A friend of mine decided to sell some of his projects and I had to pick this one up. For $75 I got the basically gutted cabinet, a new roll of t-molding, and a new control panel overlay. Everything you can see from the outside (marquee, bezel, control panel) is there and looks okay. Everything inside (PCB, monitor, power supply, etc.) is missing.

I'll be honest with you. My current plan is to throw a monitor and a 48-in-1 board in there and be done with it. The current wave of 48-in-1 boards includes Burgertime, so as far as I'm concerned I'll have a Burgertime cabinet with Burgertime in it that also happens to play 47 other games. I know it won't be a true dedicated machine, but for the time being it'll be a quick fix that gets things up and running.

Unfortunately pictures can be deceiving, and the cabinet's side art is in pretty bad shape. It's flaking off, which is something that apparently these old cabinets are having a problem with. There are ways to seal the paint, but they have to be done before it gets to the flaking stage, which mine is at. This may be the first cabinet I attempt a true restoration on. Sounds like a good winter-time project.
