heh, hit enter instead of TAB on that last one. Sorry to the lamers
that are obsessive about multiple posts. Onto the question at hand.

I have san opportunity to get this game. I did my homework on the game
itself, and see that it has historical signifigance so it is attractive
to my preservation efforts.

Problem is that while the glass looks 8-10 as well as the tronics and
spinners, there is a LOT of cabinet water damage. I mean a LOT.

It appears it was sotred in a warehouse with a leaky roof and one half
of the top got it, then is soaked into one side and the C-panel and the
bottom =( The good news is that it has one perfectly goos side, and
even thought the other side is badly swollen the side art is there. So
I'm basicly looking at a complete repro of the cabinet.

Question is.. is it worth it no matter how cheap I get it? And if the
answer is YES;

1: Where can I source the origonal vinyl they used on the front?
2: t-moulding?
3: Recomend a site with a step-by-step on making the appropriate
stencils of the old art so I can repro it.
4: Best way/place to use the good silkscreen on the right paddle to
resilkscreen the left?

I got everything else covered. Just need these questions covered by a
vetern in this sort of thing. Thanks for any time.

Personally, when there that bad off. I part them out.
I've parted out much rarer games than that.
Unless it's a game you have to have.
I don't think the parts would command much $.
So I hope you get it VERY cheap.
does it work?
$25 would be my limit, either way.


Troy,
