I have finally gotten around to restoring the Road Runner cabinet that I got about a year ago. This is more of a transplant than a full restoration, but it will make a HUGE difference in the game's appearance.
Here is where it started.

You may remember I was pretty clueless when I was just getting started in the hobby and almost passed this one up along with a Peter Pack Rat.

Fast forward to today. The cabinet has basically sat in the same condition since I got it. I did get the boards working and had the kit in a different cabinet in our game room for a while. Today I stripped everything out of the original cabinet and began cleaning. Talk about gross. 27 years of dirt and grime. The fan was the worst.

I have already built the new cabinet to place everything in. I still need to paint the exposed edges and speaker panel and install the T-molding.

Which one do you want in your house? Left or Right?
