: : I hope you're joking. Mad Planets is a very rare and valuable cabinet. Please tell us that the cabinet was trashed and not worth keeping in original condition because it's sad to see a rare and valuable cabinet die when there's so many generic JAMMA cabinets available that would gladly give up their lives to become a MAME machine.

: Yeah, the cabinet was in pretty bad shape, it had previously been converted to play some other game.

: The marquee had been revesed and painted black (the strip light behind it had gone). The original game board + PSU were gone. The orignal joystick and dial had been replaced with a standard 8-way joystick. The top of the control panel had many extra holes drilled in it, and has also been beaten out of shape.

: There was nothing of the orignal machine left apart from the top of the control panel and the marquee. Fortuatly I have managed to scrape off the black from the marquee, so it looks almost new. However the conrol panel need a lot of restoration.

: To sum up, everthing that was left of the machine I have kept without damaging at all.

Oh cool. I'm glad to hear you didn't ruin a good Mad Planets ;-)
