Well, I definitely lean towards keeping cabs complete unless they are some generic JAMMA cabinet. I spoke with Barry and Chris via PM yesterday, and though they said I could have the cab (or parts in this case), we agreed instead to give it to someone Chris had mentioned it to in Belgium who will be restoring it with a monitor and boardset.
When I first spoke to Level42 about this, I mentioned that ideally I would find a waterdamaged cabinet that I could take the parts from guilt-free. There has to be one in that old warehouse full of parts, right?
It's sad (or wrong?) I know, but I'm rooting for that cab on Marktplaats to have some serious issues!
