: Oh, and of course I'm going to do the MAME-ing in such a way that it can be easily reversible - I would never trash such a classic as this. I may even relegate it to only playing Space Invader type games and leave the control panels untouched. Even if I decide to add joysticks or whatever, I'll build new control panels and keep the originals stock.

Yeah, I think that reversibility is very importent when using a classic cabinet.
I had a discussion a few days ago about why I did not restore my Galaxian when there are less and less original cabs left especially here in The Netherlands.
I had thought about this question a lot before I did it. But I really wanted a classic cab for my mame cabinet because I new only that would give me the feeling I was searching for...
But I also felt that it was an imperativ for me to make all changes reversibel although I am sure it will stay an Emulaxian forever...
